As you all know by now having listened to show #44, I managed to get me some Media passes to the Somkefree Rockquest Finals and Retro Concert. Unfortunatley they didn’t arrived until Saturday morning so I missed out on the Finals, but managed to catch the Retro concert on Saturday night. The winners from the night before played along with winners from past years. Here are some photos I got from the night. Enjoy….
