A very good friend of mine saw this line up last week and sent me this email;

'It's not often I do this, but I must recommend that you catch The Zombies before their current tour ends.
I saw them in Folkestone last week and they were absolutely stunning. Colin Blunstone's voice sounds no different now to how it did in the 60's, and how he still reaches the high notes beggars belief. How many bands can walk on and deliver a perfect 4 part harmony on the first line of the first song? The whole show was note perfect.
The band also features Rod Argent, Jim Rodford, his son Steve Rodford on drums, and Keith (brother of Don) Airey on guitar. They played not only the Zombies hits, but also songs by Argent, and several of the members solo things. Rod Argent's intro to God gave Rock and Roll to You was particularly amusing, saying that when they tour America he is constantly being asked why they are covering a Kiss song.
One of the best gigs I have been to for a heck of a long time.
Unfortunately the same can't be said for The Yardbirds, who opened the show.
To me they were no better that any 60's tribute band, and after about 5 songs the lure of the Guinness was too strong.'

So, thats the line-ups!!
