After The Fire Charity event in aid of the YMCA Youth Cafe. Originally a three piece band, the origins of AFTER THE FIRE (aka ATF) date back over 30 years. The band underwent several line-up changes and reformations to record the self-financed "Signs Of Change" vinyl album in 1978, now considered a cult classic and much sought-after by record collectors to this day. Between 1978 and 1983 they released several charting singles including a major hit with an English translation of the Falco track 'Der Kommissar' that was in the top 20 in 9 countries, including no. 5 in the USA and no. 1 in South Africa. Having toured with ELO, Queen and Van Halen, and sharing a BBC In Concert stage with U2, they called it a day when they announced at the Dominion Theatre on 3 December 1982 that it would be their last gig. After a short rest of 21 years, the band reformed in 2004. Tickets are £12 in advance (£15 on the door). under 18s £6. For tickets and more information, visit their website at www.afterthefire.co.uk.
