Alpaca Factory Update
First up, an apology to Joe Witham. Last edition, we included an article about local band, Alpaca Factory, which included a number of his images. These should have been credited to Joe Witham, who's responsible for publicity, photos and social media, we also missed Rosie Nider's credit for production - apologies guys.
Since the last editon, the band have been busy, and are due to play at the Musicians Against Homelessness gig, as mentioned above, supporting the Rooves.
Current single, 'Breathalysed' at
spinnup.link/227606-breathalysed
'Devils Wears Prada' will also be available once we've gone to print.
The band are in the studio preparing for gigs in September.
