Original members – Chris Amoo and Dave Smith – are now celebrating nearly 50 incredible years in the music industry, and they’re still going strong, playing hundreds of gigs across the world. This special concert is to promote their brand new ‘Best Of’ collection and infectious single release ‘Someone Oughta Write A Song (About You Baby)’.
