Great show from Ruts DC Friday night at Lancaster's Kanteena. Fantastic atmosphere, highlights including a nice version of Mighty Soldier, a lively Staring at the Rude Boys, and In A Rut, released back in the day on Misty In Roots' label People Unite!

Interesting Barrow connection here, this bell was from the WW2 submarine "Trump" built in Barrow-in-Furness, England by Vickers Armstrongs and launched 25th March 1944.

The CD is also being made available in selected stores. The first to sell it is the La'l record shop in Bolton-le-Sands which is just off the A6 in the village. This is a terrific old school record store, with a fabulous atmosphere and great stock: tinyurl.com/yc296ubn
