Octopus and Mobile Radio present a wine tasting At Coniston Institute.

Knut Aufermann and Sarah Washington AKA Mobile Radio have been back with us as this week, giving advice on setting up our FON AIR radio project and presenting a wine tasting at Coniston Institute.  Knut and Sarah brought some choice bottles from thier home in the Mosel valley in Germany and  Grizedale Arts provided some excellent soup. A nice mix of people turned up and heard of Mobile Radios’ doings and of the German Governments plans to build a bridge  that will  blot out the sun from a large slice of the Mosel valley and trash a bit more of it in the making. See the Save The Mosel Valley campaign.

Focal Gaol at the Nines, again.

It’s Focal Gaol at the Nines In Barrow, and with the scratchy King Horror 45 happily twitching away on its own, John takes time out to capture Glenn in full flight.  That’s Mouse on The Key’s drumkit in midshot, drumkit spotters.
