I take my hat off to anyone who runs a proper mod club in
this day and age and for Sidewinder to make a success of it monthly on a
Thursday night is doubly impressive. A good turn out again yesterday when Andy
Lewis and I guested alongside Dave E and Gilo. I dusted off these. Some new acquisitions,
some regular spins, and some I’d not played since those halcyon Shake
nights of 2001-2006.
