Those of us who could get to the Downstairs of The Boundary Hotel in Walsall on Saturday 19th March 2005 were privileged to hear the last gig of Vender.
The sound was fantastic and made you wonder why these guys never quite made it on the contemporary music scene. Our loss!

Michael Clarke started the evening and he was, as always, just excellent. Six songs from Dropknee followed and then Vender took over for the rest of the night. The boys were on form and performed so well together - it was obvious they were having a great time.
The Downstairs was full and it was so good to see so many of our church family including many AYFers in the audience.

                                                       The gig was also held to raise money for Mencap and St.Basils

                                      Thank you Vender for a great night, and we wish you well in your new chosen professions.

                                                                              Dropknee or Vender  -  spot the difference?
