Yes from me for the Sunday on this one Peter - hopefully zdaturday too, but will have to confirm closer to the date.
 
A quick heads up to say that we will try to provide normal service during the weekend but we are likely to be one down as our daughter is in hospital so probably no Moira or she may put in a brief appearance.
 
Absolutely fantastic classics event yesterday at special when lit.....really enjoyed it!
