First gig after Lockdown
U-Turn are back and were booked at short notice to play at The Vineyard in Lamberhurst, Kent after being dormant for 16 months due to the COVID pandemic. Fortunately a good core of us have been in regular contact and played outdoors whenever possible which helped.
We formed up with Neil, Chris, Rob, Pete B, Pete R and new recruit Dan Evans on percussion. It was a very hot day in the sunshine but great to be playing again.
