March 2nd 2016 – COLLABRO
Our trip to hear the group Collabro at The Ipswich Regent was fabulous. The vast majority of us might be on the wrong side of fifty, but we became the right side of twenty for the evening as we watched and listened to these five fabulously talented young guys. Super evening in the very best of company. Roll on next year's tour.
