Here a photo of Allan from the Thursday-gig.

I also have a band photo but it´s too large to post it here and I don´t have a program or knowledge to make it smaller.

Well yes, those are photos of the musicians, but before the gig was made.

I have a very nice actual foto from the gig, but I don´t know how to attach, if I become the message that the file is to large. I don´t know about "Fotos verkleinern"..
