So as team ATL nurses a collective sore cranium we thought we would throw a few pics and throwaway commentsÌýfrom our gigÌýon MondayÌýonto the ATL Blog for your perusal and perhaps even comment.

Tupenny Nudger has a new lease of life as NI's official alternative national anthem, but their cover of Tourette's by with ÌýTony Wright on stage with them very nearly had us looking up the yellow pages for structural engineers.
In between the acts, joined Rigsy, Sarah and some contributors to give out advice on keeping our minds on track. You can listen again to the radio show until Monday, 5th April, and lookÌýlong and indeed hardÌýat films of all the bands' sets on the ATLÌýwebsite. Over and out!
