Worldwide Awards 2012 - The Winners

Wow, what a  weekend! Two greats in London town that both went off with a bang. Friday night saw

some of Gilles’ picks for 2012 take control of proceedings at XOYO and firmly deliver the goods, big shout to all that performed;  Bad Bad Not Good, 2Morrows Victory, Flako, Ifan Dafydd, Lefto, Alex Patchwork and of course Gilles. A great night was had by all and it was the perfect warm up to Saturday’s antics.
