fallingdown - his night and I think he should be stupidly proud of how well it went off!
Stealthy - Lovely friendly chap!
sophiacherryxx - Lovely friendly chapette!
Brooner - Lovely friendly chap!
joeymahone - Lovely friendly chap!
fallingdown's lurker friend who's username I didn't get! He was lovely too!

There were others there I didn't meet like John, pigfoot and guntrip. I'm sorry, I'm not great at introducing myself!

I would like to say a big thanks though to fallingdown for running such a great night with such good bands, to John for playing some cracking tunes in between the bands, and to all the wonderful people listed above who seemed to go out of their way to make me feel welcomed on a night where at the start I knew no-one and was on my own. Thanks!
