Oh my god!  I can't believe it - just seen After The Fire on Dream 100's web site and had to check it out.  As a (very) young girl I saw an amazing band called After The Fire at Farnborough Tech, Hampshire and loved their music so much I became a loyal fan for over 4 years before moving out of the area.

Imagine my surprise (after moving to Colchester 20 years ago) finding that the band are still around and gigging!!!

Great news guys - will have to catch your gig in December if the aching bones will let me

Oh Sticks for tricks! Aren't you the one who whields 2 recycled walking sticks anyway and sits through the gig?

Did I welcome you to the forum before or is it my memory?

Cheers??  I think.

Didn't take long to descend into the drummer jokes did it.

Thinking about it though, if the band survives for another 20 years we're going to have to consider laying on mini-buses with wheel-chair attachments etc.........  and that's just for the band

Who's gonna love us now we're old with hips of plastic,

and all the crowd are old and grey,

who's gonna smile and wave their teeth because they're past it,
