Theft at [spunge] charity show
mharflett by Melissa Harflett April 23rd, 2003
The biggest punk gig in Tewkesbury since the early 1980s was hit by thieves

Last Sunday, April 20th [spunge] along with B-Movie Heroes played to over 600 people as part of a charity show raising money for a local 14 month old girl suffering from cerebral palsy. The gig itself was a huge success raising over £7000.

That night [spunge] decided to carry on the success of the night by partying and left their equipment in the venue to be picked up the following day. The next day as they began to load up their van they noticed a number of smaller, more portable items had disappeared; they are;

The local police are investigating this as theft and if anyone has information they are to contact PC 433 Wiley on 0845 090 1234. Local music stores have also been notified of the theft.

Despite the negative behaviour now surrounding this event [spunge] and everybody associated with the event would like to thank all the bands, and volunteers who helped organise the show and make it a success.
