    We’ve lost our flyer for this one (it possibly went into the same skip as Billy Bragg’s demo tape). Can anybody help?

    First of three shows that A&S programmed for the Write On festival, which ran at BAC between September and October. Seemingly A&S’s first event at the venue that has so far hosted the most of their shows.

    The first outing for a long-running annual partnership event with Alternative Arts. We love the Bottom-themed artwork. PR Murry compere alongside Mark Miwurdz, although Emile Sercombe was supposed to be the second compere.

    Publicity erroneously says Michelle Kay although the flyer says ‘Reid’.
