Played Pontardawe Arts Centre late last year , good turn out and Focus acknowleged the audience .

25 quid to see a classic rock band on your doorstep , lets ave it .

Reading up I believe up in Cardiff on their next appearences around this area .

Worth a trip up the M4 if Hocus Pocus and Sylvia are your prog rock memories .
