Lots of Banburyish excitement!

YCF Music presents...
Firstly, well done to the guys from Yesterday Caught Fire for their successful gig at The Mill on Saturday. The night sold out in 45 minutes and people were being turned away for the rest of the night, so hopefully they will be following up shortly with another.
