The Dugout, Cambourne - 31st March 2023

Written by Aidy.

The second-ever IRL Twitch Bar gig. We played an acoustic set, which was followed by Rishi playing a few songs. We also had a bunch of retro gaming and a bar courtesy of Lord Conrad's Brewery.

AfRetro_ was also in attendance and was kind enough to bring a few machines along for the retro gaming.

Was a lot of fun and very much looking forward to the next time we can do this.

Roundup of Retrogaming Roundup

Written by Aidy.

UK Mike

Following on from UK Mike's Q&A session in the Twitch Bar he's been kind enough to compile a list of some of his favorite episodes from the past 10+ years of the Retrogaming Roundup podcast. I've been an avid listener from the very early days but if you're looking to delve into the nerdy and occasionally controversial world of UK Mike and his chums then here are some great episodes to get you started.

Beach Sessions, Waterbeach - 3rd December 2022

Written by Aidy.

We've played Waterbeach a fair amount over the years in various venues, including a pub function room and a retired military base. On this occasion, we were playing at the baptist chapel. It was a lot of fun and the first time we'd played here in about three years.

We played along with The Pony Collaboration and Kerry Devine (who actually did the backing vocals on our first album for the song 'The British IBM').
