Hi! We Lumps are really looking forward to this one! Can you do me a favour and pre-buy your tickets as this really helps the promoter. You'll save a few pennies - and if 'something' crops up and you can't make the bands benefit from your sweet love!

Gary and I have a new book out today! Laugh or Fly: The Air War on the Western Front, 1914-1918. It is a look at the way aircrew survived, the horrors of aerial combat in sharp contrast to their safety just a few minutes later when on the ground. It is available from all good bookshops and one bad one! Get yours today!

A rip-roaring gallop through the lives of the Royal Flying Corps air crew in the Great War. They lived their lives amidst a strange dichotomy as they moved from safety to dire danger, and back again in a matter of hours. This created a dreadful strain that could soon shred anyone’s mental health.....
