The Mafia / Sunday 5th Feb, 8:56 am We would like to thanks to very good friends of ours (Jackie & Phil) for allowing us the honour of playing at their 50th birthday bash last night @ Petersfield golf club!! ...They are both lovely people & support the local music like there's no tommorrow!! ...Despite most of us getting lost in the snow on the way yesterday, it was a fun evening last night & we hope we didn't terrify too many of their familly members during the course of the evenings (sometimes) musical entertainment?!?!

The Mafia / Wednesday 1st Feb, 7:17 pm OK chaps (and chapesses) - just a bit of fun - we want you to recommend something. It might be a film, a band, a song, or it might be something sensible like a cleaning product, a builder, a handy hint or even an electricity supplier!! The choice is yours. Just pick something that you were impressed with and share it with the world!! :-)
