I have just returned from the Falklands, it is something truly special. I will post a few pics and vidoes of my time down there.

Check out this BFBS link, this band I was playing with (Salamanca Band of the Rifles) entertaining kids at Port Stanley

We are named after the Battle that was fought there in July 1812 against the forces of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Dose the Falklands have a penguin sheering contest, a bit like sheep sheering contests?
