Were You A "Rocking Humdinger"...?
The band is also keen to reacquaint themselves with members of their former fan club, the Rocking Humdingers Club, and have put out a put a Missing Persons Search! Mickey Bradley of the band said: ‘‘We recently came across the original membership book containing the names of the Rocking Humdingers and thought it would be good to make contact again.”
The band hope to hear from these long-time fans and has promised the first 50 who get in touch free entry into a show of their choice, a copy of the record and a tour t-shirt. For more information see the band’s website http://www.theundertones.com/ or contact andy@theundertones.com
