Pride in the name of a Factory Queen



















A great session this week. Massive crowd for Foyle Gay Pride which is on in the city until Sunday www.foylepride.org. I've included one track from everyone and a bit more of Tina's classic links. Lots of James this week too. He joined Rory and Caroline but also was the subject of Conor's Ballad of James King! Good to see Gerard back from his motorcycling busking trip around the country. He introduced this first track saying it was biggest moneyspinner on his tour. Also, we had everything properly mixed by Mick. Here's the Tracklist. More pics at www.flickr.com/photos/roryms
