What was new at 'Beyond the Pale'

Walpurgis Night:

Added the setlist from last night's Procol show (headlining after Uriah Heep and Manfred Mann's Earthband) ... note the additional track, entirely appropriate for the particular evening! (thanks, Melanie)

Remind yourself of BtP's erstwhile Walpurgis Night revels

Apparently there is a problem with the Beanstalk forum: this is not under BtP's control, but we are investigating.
No need for any more messages alerting us to the malfunction, thanks!
