2009 Gig Report No. 8 - Farriers Arms, Bristol (26/7/09) |

2009 Gig Report No. 7 - The Anchor Hotel, Warminster (11/7/09) |
The Woods first gig outside of Bristol! Great night, all things considered. Unusual crowd, not your typical gig-goers, as the bar staff confessed. Certainly, we struggled a wee bit in the first set to...
