Another Great Performance

Always a great gig. They’re always so honest, professional & brilliant in their performance, in addition to genuinely showing that they’re clearly enjoying themselves. Should of been bigger than what they are. Great guys, great band.

Superb gig

A truly awesome performance of the Crack plus the rest of the mainstay songs with excellent songs from the new album, add this to a great performance fom the Professionals and its a classic, thanks for the memories.
