Musicport 2006

And so 5 months of 2006 festival fun draws to a close with another great weekend at Whitby Musicport. The highlight was definitely Friday night's set from Buena Vista Social Club. I was very naughty because officially we weren't supposed to take photos but I just couldn't resist with capturing these giants of the Cuban music scene who have sold millions of records around the World.

Roll on May 2007 & let's do it all over again!
