This year on Dalliance More

Written By Michael Wood Sunday, January 11th, 2009

Here at Dalliance we like to wait until the end of the year before reviewing it and we like to review it in an ad-hoc set of lists so for you, Dear Reader, we have albums of the year which is a general summary of what we have been listening to, tracks of the year which is more about the sort of thing we have been listening to while hanging around West Yorkshire at local gigs and gigs of the year which take in Bradford, Manchester, New York and Halifax.

Enjoy and thank you, kindly thank you, for reading.
