    Monkey Bizzle Supports Boot Hill Xmas Bash at The Southgate

    Not as greater deal of options for entertainment as recent weekends gone, I still had a double-booked dilemma. As much as nipping to the Sham for Train to Skaville appealed, I can rest assured this gig would go off based on past experience.
