The band dedicated the evening at the Roscoe Rooms to Graham Trousdale and Dave Rose, dear friends and former members of the band who passed away recently.

The band thanks the Record Revivals team who helped promote the Gig by selling the tickets and those who donated memorabilia items to be auctioned on the evening, as well as contributions which have helped raise more than £10,300.50p over the past few years for local charities.
