THE SWISS COTTAGERS - THE COMPLETE LIVE PERFORMANCES
Hard to believe that the SCs have only ever performed seven times, but it's true. (Actually, some people have expressed surprise that we've had any gigs.)
Here then is a complete list of the performances in reverse chronological order, back to the earliest beginnings (as a dare from Simon Thompson - who also drew the original logo design).
