GRAMMATICS vs BLUE ROSES PHOTOS

We put the coolest gig on this Monday gone at Nation Of Shopkeepers. What was supposed to be a chilled out accoustic jam session between Owen from Grammatics and Laura from Blue Roses turned out to be a sold out once in a life time spectacle. Sorry for those at the back who couldn't hear or see too well but we did advise to arrive early. Thanks to Bart Pettman for the photos.

BLUE ROSES I AM LEAVING OUT TODAY

Laura Groves aka Blue Roses has released her second single from her debut album but it is not the first time I am Leaving has been available on 7".  The first time the single was out was way back in 2007 and the launch was an intimate affair upstairs at The Beehive.  The latest version includes a brand new song Moments Before Sleep as the B side.
