Hung on the wall inside was a poster of a scene that appeared in the inside of the sleeve for the album We Cant Dance, were the band look like they have attended a party and there bored and tired and miserable.
They were more than happy to recreate that very scene. Spot the difference! The venue appeared far smaller than it looked on TV.

Time was getting on; the party were then taken to The Crown Inn for lunch and drinks.
The chat flowed mainly around the event they had all just witnessed, some members of the local press appeared and they did various reports.
Graham Brookland, the community fund raiser for the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice appeared and Steve Puddick handed over a cheque in excess of £4500 to the hospice.
The hospice is a registered charity; which only receives around 17% of its operating costs from the NHS. The cost of running the hospice for a day is a staggering £10,000. For more information, or even to make a donation please visit www.phyllistuckwellhospice.org
Many thanks to Nick Davis and Steve Puddick
