Yet another gig review

We have been busy. To see my opinion (that’s right kiddies, it’s an opinion!) of Grebo, All But None, Lonely Grey Couch and Onslow just click on this black writing. Also, see Paul’s review of the mini-bash at this link www.punktastic.com/index.php?navID=2&gigreviewID=97

We got a fresh batch of Punktastic t-shirts printed last week in red with white print, or black with white print. They are available in youth medium (for the ladies), small, medium and a very limited number of large. Want one? They are £10 incl of p&p
