It might get loud, it might get sweaty but it'll definitely be rocking !!!

For the 16th year in succession, they have been voted the 4th best R&B outfit within a radius of 8.7 miles of Whitchurch village. By the most modest of estimations, they have now played almost 1000 gigs. That’s 1000 Princess Margaret jokes and 1000 times Jason has tripped over the microphone stand. Good things never change. The Fugitives. Still the same, still brilliant.

Admission £4.00 (£3.00 concessions)
