Craphenge ’98

This private little festival was Blue String Pudding’s first, and so far only, gig. It was held in somebody’s back garden in Balsham, near Cambridge, on 21 June 1998. Local residents did not complain! Here are some photos from the event. As usual, clicking on the thumbnail will take you to the full-size picture. I'll add some more from time to time. One day there may be some audio clips too, and even some video!
