TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 This was possibly the best gig that I've been to this year.

murphybridget837 Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 The BDE from Edinburgh sounds like a mesmerizing musical journey, especially with that eclectic lineup. The combination of banjo, cello, fiddle, harp, and more must create a rich and unique sonic tapestry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
