The concert was held on the very evening of the London bombings, and our closing item, Schindler's List, was dedicated to all those killed and injured, and to their families and friends.

From the sublime to the very ridiculous indeed.
hago were invited to play at the Birdman of Bognor 2005, and here is what it's about - the "Flatulent Fairies" trying to fly for charity.
Lots more pictures in our Birdman of Bognor Gallery.

Jon, our Leader in 2005, hands over a contra guitar to Avril in a celebration following its outright purchase.
