Thursday 25 May 2017, Law Rocks! London at the 100 Club
In founder Nick Child's words, "The poignant moment of the night was when the Dirty Sherlocks played their last song, Don't Look Back In Anger by Oasis, and the whole club sung it in honour and memory of all those affected by the atrocities in Manchester earlier in the week. Simply wonderful reaction by everyone in the venue." The Dirty Sherlocks feature talent from Ashurst.
