Hylin - The Cluny - November 2006 - The launch of 'Bins in the Lane' with family and friends. This is very rare footage as although we sang together for over 30 years this is the only gig we ever filmed and it was to be our second last concert. We performed at The Morden Tower a few weeks later. Sharon passed away on 29th December 2007. Love and miss her and Hylin. x
