FOTOBOM: JULIA JACKLIN @ THE PARADISE
Laryngitis felled the planned show a few weeks ago but Julia Jacklin made sure she played The Paradise before heading back home to summer in Australia. At least she didn’t have to play through a stomach ulcer like her Great Scott some years back, which she claimed was her worst show ...
