Island Sessions '97 Gig

Well the night of April 18th 1998 will be remembered as the night that live music returned to St. Georges Park, the home of Newport Football Club.

Having lost the opportunity to promote at the club a couple of years ago Vaguely Sunny in conjunction with Dave Pontin's Island Sessions returned with a six band gig. All the bands featured on the night are on the Island Sessions CD produced at Dave's Sounds Right Studios in Freshwater.
