Viola Beach / Craig Tarry Tribute - Warrington Parr Hall - 2nd April 2016 (The Coral, Courteeners, The Kooks, Blossoms, Eliza And The Bear, Hidden Charms, The Vryll Society)


In the early hours of February 13, five young men, doing what they loved most, met with a tragic end in a car accident in Sweden after playing their first gig outside the UK. Kris Leonard, River Reeves, Tomas Lowe and Jack Dakin were Viola Beach, Craig Tarry was their manager. There was an outpouring of grief at the loss of the one of the country's finest most promising young bands and one of the most dedicated managers you'll ever meet that cumulated in their debut single Swings & Waterslides hitting the top twenty and this concert in the 1,000 capacity Parr Hall in their hometown of Warrington bringing together some of the biggest and breaking bands to celebrate their lives.
