Boxing Day? Another Quality Street while we look back at our most memorable shows of the last 12 months? Let’s hear from Dave Boulden…

“One of my favourite public gigs of 2024 was at the The Alexander Centre, Faversham during the Hop Festival. We played an afternoon slot ahead of our headline slot on the Brewery stage later that evening.

The venue was rammed with lots of happy people (obviously, it's a beer festival!). It was as hot as hell, but stunningly good fun with a wonderfully receptive audience who were as up for it as we were. An all-too-brief but amazing gig.

Also, a special thank you again to Colin of Triple A Events for ferrying our gear from the Alex to the Brewery Stage in his van - it would have been a real pain to get it there any other way!”
