Tony and Laurent Mombel will be spinning such wonderous sounds this Friday at The Parlour that you may not even believe your own ears...so bring a friend to confirm the many aural delights that await. 99.9% monophonic and 99.5% from the time before decimalisation. Rumble along to the sounds of Link Wray and Little Richard, drink beer to the dulcet tones of The Sonics or sip a lemonade along with Jimmy Reed. FREE entry. 8:30-01:00.
