Henry's 60th Birthday, Hethel, Norfolk - 3rd August 2013
It's Henry out-of-the-BBs' sixtieth birthday party at his and Fiona's stylish new pad in the wilds of Norfolk, near Hethel. It's a top night of wine, hog-roast, summer vibes and great music, courtesy of a variety of bands from the ceilidh of "News of the Victory" to a Neil Young tribute. As an added bonus, we're staying in the van for the night, so it's beers all round (except for the boys, of course).
next album: The BSCC at Walpole, and a Swan Inn Barbeque, Brome, Suffolk - 4th August 2013
previous album: An Interview with Rick Wakeman and Other Stories, Diss, Norfolk - 22nd July 2013
