Ahoy hoy!
Well, you may have read somewhere that a certain Steve Ignorant (Crass/Schwartzeneggar/Stratford Mercenaries - in case you didn't know ) will be appearing this evening, so as you can imagine, much of the show's 'normal' format has gone pretty much out of the window.
No surprise on who our Featured Artist will be. Or, for that matter, who will have had a hand in our Epic Track too.
