It's another virtual trip abroad this week, namely to French Canada to have a chat with Mr Hugo Mudie. We talk Sainte Catherines, Fat Wreck, Leatherface and hear Hugo's solo tunes, hear about the festival he created, burning Quebec questions and a whole load more. Tom looks back on a gig he attended on a Sunday afternoon, Niallism is still recovering and we recieve our first communique from North of the border. Music this week is from Sainte Catherines, Medictation, The Beatdown, Yesterday’s Ring, Culture Shock, Vamos, Burning Lady, Beauty School Dropout, The Melbies and FM Rodeo.
