Just because I post a photo on the Internet, it does not give anyone the right to grab a copy and use it on their own site. It certainly does not give anyone the right to edit that image and remove it's watermark! Why do I say this?

I think everyone enjoyed the night, it was a rare chance to see some live music in the town. Hopefully this will be the start of the return of gigs in Naas.
Anyway, check out the photos below:
