0169 – West My Friend Album III

When we first met West My Friend in 2013, we met a slightly different lineup with Adam on the bass and their opening act Brett Wildeman with them as well; we had a great chat with the folk-band from Vancouver Island but we didn’t get a chance to see them play that time around as […]Read More
