Those of you that made it along to out Box of Records event will have witnessed Steve treating us to some of his 45’s.
We convinced him (it didn’t take much) to curate September’s event, where he treated us to an evening based around The Byrds.
We had a good mix of tunes, including the work of individual members of the group, especially Gene Clark and Gram Parsons.
Thanks to everyone that also brought their Byrds related tunes along to add to the evening’s musical offering.
