I decided to put off uploading the first part of this post as I knew I’d be seeing The SoapGirls again soon, so I’m combining a couple of events into one. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I saw TheSoapGirls once before on this tour, that was in Rotheram at The Trades for their first Saturday show of this current ‘Sniff My Strap’ tour. Since then they have been off around Europe touring for the last month and now they are back on UK soil to carry on over here. I made the short journey to Derby as The SoapGirls were playing at The Hairy Dog,...
