Another shot from the 'Flash Gordon' June Event (King's 1995). Trumpet & Sax man Graham Kendall's blue hair is visible here as are Simon Coppock, Jim Gleeson and Pez. Photograph by Jocelyn Pye. Mike Aitken, Bruce Beckles, Dan Ward and Eoghan Flannegan danced energetically to the song 'Number Five' during this gig; impressive given that it is a slower number.
