On Saturday 29th April Local Psycho (Jem Finer and Jimmy Cauty) held a gathering here to "encode the music of their Hurdy-Gurdy song" into the newly erected standing stone. "To mark the 50,000 year return of the Green Comet and release of The Hurdy-Gurdy song on Heavenly Recordings." Top pic thanks to Verdant Brewing Co.
