BOB'S BLOOM STREET BIRTHDAY BASH
SATURDAY 24 May 2008
Another super Salford success with a large crowd turning up for a feast of five bands to mark Bob Dylan's birthday. Salford saluted him when his birthday came and gifted the charity another nice sum of £400. Thanks again to all our supporters - bands, audience, King's Arms landlord and staff and prize donors.
