Sorry but have found with my other site Manchesterbeat.com that I got so much junk uploaded it was quicker for users to email me images - paul
kentberat.uk - so I can size them correctly, perhaps enhance a little and put them on the pages rather me spend time deleting crap.
It is not Facebook, where stuff is easily uploaded but then lost amongst the hundreds of inappropriate stuff.
Hope you understand.

Tried emailing you with details from an email address of ashmanandcohotmail.com unfortunately, your email address paulkentberat.uk bounced as unknown. For obvious reasons I didn’t reply on your address in the site. Any reason you didn't want to post Chris and Sandies Kent-gigs site as it already was comprehensively put together. If you let me have an email address I can then communicate better if you want. Regards.
