Sinister: Londonium - Repost

[Sarah Beth Gilmour]

      *---*      HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES    *---*

Hi,
I am new to the list and dont mean to be rude or wish to 
offend but just to let you know. It wasnt a tape playing 
between sets at the gig last night, but a real live dj - 
Andrew Symington - who can also be heard downstairs at the 
Art School, Glasgow, on a Saturday night.
Sarah ;)
