Lorraine's 18th and Claire's 21st, The Swan Inn, Brome, Suffolk - 11th June 1997

Lorraine's 18th birthday, Claire's 21st and a variety of other miscellaneous birthdays are all rolled into one for a big thrash in a marquee behind the Swan. These B&W scans are from a set of previously-unseen negs that had been floating around in a drawer for several years, so in many cases they're a bit scratched and dusty. They're also not neccessarily in any particular order.

next album: Andrew's CISU Party and the Radio One Roadshow, Ipswich, Suffolk - 18th June 1997
previous album: CISU do 'Internet-in-a-field', Suffolk Show, Ipswich - May 21st 1997
