FACE RIPPER VLOG #1: BOOTED OFF TRAIN, EDGE OF PARADISE, SYMPHONY X, NO KEBAB!!!

Trying something new here, some Behind The Scene stuff, musings, etc. Some of you may die of boredom, some of you might make it to the end.
I went to Islington Academy to see Edge Of Paradise, met a whole bunch of new people - and had a blast!
