Not sure Mike, add a post to the ATF fb page, if you don't get an answer, I will try and find out for you.

Really enjoyed the After The Fire gig at St.John's Church (Farncombe Music Club) Farncombe last night. The church has had a wonderful restoration job done to it, and ATF were the first band to play there in the new decor.

Sounds a bit weird to say that they rocked the church, but they did!

The show started with Rob Halligan as the support act, performing a selection of his own songs, including a couple of new songs, not heard before. As always Rob sings from the heart, which boosts the emotion of his songs out to the audience.

After a short interval, After The Fire took the stage, and broke the silence with 1980f booming around the room, and the party started. It was a great set list, but I won't run down the list of songs, as it will spoil the fun for Weyfest goers this weekend.

The show had loads of energy and fantastic music. Thank you again to Peter Banks, John Russell, Tim Turner, Rob Halligan and Ian Niblo for being such a great band and rocking our socks off!  Thanks to Julian Lewry for arranging everything, and thanks to everyone else involved, Sam, Mark etc.

Love and hugs to you all.     

Was fantastic to see all my ATF friends again, Rich, Bee, Julie, Jen, John, JP & son, Martin, Paul C, Karen, Kevin & Mrs & Chelsea & Niece, Colin, new ATF friends Andy, Geoff, and other ATFers I have missed out!

Will post some videos soon.

Hugs Zippy

I must concur 100% with Zippy on this, a fantastic night in a great venue and wonderful company.

The last time I saw ATF live was Nov 2008 at the same venue with a group of friends, and this time I went as Billy no mates and was really up for it. Got there in time to hear the soundcheck from outside and it sounded great.

I got to meet the delightful Zippy who managed to persuade me to part with some coloured paper on her fine collection of ATF collectables and stocked up.

The set was 16 tracks long and something for everybody to enjoy. I too will not give away the full set except to say you will not be disappointed. Band were tight and relaxed and most made their cue's, Tim had settled in nicely.

The great thing about ATF is the consistantancy and reliability you get with class, I have never once been disappointed by the band live and don't ever expect to be.

Massive thank you to Julian, who's labour of love is most appreciated and long may it last. Not enough nice guys like Julian around these days.

Zippy, thank you for my ATF goodies, nice to have more than one ATF shirt.

To all of you going to Weyfest, have a great time and sing your hearts out.

No problem Zippy, next time when we have more time.
