Broken Records Live at Song, By Toad, Hogmanay 2009
On New Year’s Eve 2009, instead of fighting the crowds in the centre of Edinburgh, we decided to take it a little bit easier and we thought that a house gig would be the perfect solution. Alongside Jon Rooney from Virgin of the Birds, Jamie and Rory from Broken Records also agreed to play.
