altarielLast night was the night that all good Cambridge crusties assembled in the Corn Exchange to laugh at jokes nearly as old as the band telling them. Oh, and listen to some folk-music-with-drum-and-bass. Amongst the classics, there was a new song by Chris Leslie about a man who travelled with Lord John Franklin, but the highlight of my evening was seeing this.
A bloody bass mandolin! Look at the size of it! (You can see it with the whole person attached here.) I mean, who knew such a thing existed?!?
