Allo Darlin / The Protectors / Standard Fare / The Spills Live Review

What's that, you've written a review? Of a gig?! Whoa man, no one WRITES stuff anymore, this aint the 19th century. What's that, you typed it, on a COMPUTER? Pah, so 20th century. Dont you know, everyone expresses their opinions via VIDEO now, on the INTERNET. Yeah, its quicker, takes less planning and requires no real skill or ability whatsoever. Just a basic camera and even more basi edit equipment... Well, if that's what the people want....

Which is a silly way of saying: here is our first Video Review of a recent gig at The Hop, in Wakefield of a brilliant gig featuring Allo Darlin, The Protectors, Standard Fare & The Spills. We hope you like it. If you do, we'll do some more. Its not meant to be serious, kinda quick and fun. Enjoy!
