A very snazzy new Wicked Brick display for the Lego Game Boy (complete with totally hidden extra details), just completes the set perfectly!

A busy (and rather noisy) evening for the folk session at The Drunken Duck this evening - as ever lots of great songs and tunes from quieter pieces to full pub singalongs…
