Library Got it Loud on the 15th with a gig by blistering
garage-punk-pop band Tiny Masters of Today, powerfully
supported by Liverpool band Married to the Sea and US folksinger
Jaymay. George Appleton was there ("At this early stage
the Tiny Masters are best likened to one of Alex Ferguson’s
footballing protégés..") and you can read
his
review here. Vote for the Lancaster Library Get It Loud project
(finalists in the national 'I Love Liberaries' competition) and
win it a very useful £2000. It only takes a few seconds!.
