If you want them for any other use, just ask. Enjoy, Fran Crossen]]> For the past while I have been recording a blues band – Left, Right & Centre in my local, Frank Ryans Bar. With the generous permission of the lads the tracks were published weekly on the Frank Ryans website.

Unfortunately Left, Right & Centre finished their residency in May 2011, so I needed a new home for the mp3 files and here it is – at least until I sort out something more permanent (if ever!).

The only processing done is to chop up the recording into individual tracks, add a fade in/out and normalise the sound level. What you hear is what you’ll get every live every Thursday – warts, drunken punters ‘n’ all!

All tracks are published here with the kind permission of the artists – please respect their copyright.
