We joined a stellar line-up for a two-night run of
Rock The Night Away on 8th and 9th February 2013, a fundraiser concert for
Age UK Buckinghamshire at the 1,000 seat
Swan Theatre in High Wycombe.
Building on our reputation as a spectacular act for openings, we kicked off both evenings in our industrial revolution costumes and drummed along the track
And I Will Kiss from the
London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony.
The audience was treated to close-up encounters with our drums as we marched up the aisles, with some of us even climbing up the stairs to the dress circle.

We were then able to enjoy fantastic performances by highly entertaining established performers
The Rockabellas and
Hannah White, as well as talented newcomers including 17 year old
Jess Harvey, George House on his first gig and music student Tim Smith, plus high-energy volunteer and community acts such as Justine Hart's
Africa Junction &
Hartbeat Vitae Drummers and of course the
Rock Choirs from Hemel Hampstead and Amersham, who were headlining the shows.

TV actor
Chris Clarkson as the night's compere grabbed the microphone himself and performed a number with the Rockabellas.
For the grande finale, we returned to the stage in our Blue Bowler costumes and drummed along to the final song
Proud.
The Saturday night sold out, and both nights together raised over £10,000 for Age UK.
