Photos from The Rockin' Race

I'm now back from the Rockin' Race in Torremolinos. The weather got steadily warmer while I was in Spain, in marked contrast to the awful weather back in the UK. After the festival ended John Howard, Jonathan Battan, Gordon Fleming, Jackson Sloan and Naimi Scognamiglio took a trip to Gibraltar where the weather couldn't have been more pleasant. Anyway, now I'm back, here are some photographic memories of the festival. First, here is Rosia Flores.

This is Scottish band Rusty and the Riots, who played at the Barracuda Hotel.
