Ah Beanos, I think by the time I was in sixth form I spent more time in there than I did at school.
Purchased from the much missed Beanos record shop in Croydon. This short Channel 4 film about the place has just been added to YouTube

A warning for (new) followers: the Six Nations kicks off tonight. If you don't know what it is, it is a festival that gets us through the dark months and into spring. I might get overexcited (especially if beer or gin are involved) and post about it, so feel free to mute: #SixNations #6Nations #6N
