Spike and Nigel Mogg from the Quireboys have announced a special one-off gig for their great friend and former bandmate Luke Bossendorfer, at Esquires in Bedford on Tuesday, 12 November.
Luke was born and raised in Bedford and played in local bands ‘Shrunk’ and ‘Crash Dummies’ before joining the Quireboys and then moving to America.
He has recently been diagnosed with CNS Lymphoma, a rare and aggressive type of lymphoma that occurs in the lymph tissue of the brain.
So it’s only fitting that the Quireboys are taking to the stage for a special show for Luke in his home town at the iconic Esquires in Bedford, where the band have played many amazing gigs over the last 30 years.
“We hope everyone who loves rock ‘n’ roll, Quireboys fans old and new from Bedfordshire and beyond will turn out in force and show their love and support for such a talented guitarist and an amazing bloke,” said Spike.
“All of the money raised from the show will be going to Luke and his family to help them through this terrible time.”
Tickets are £25 in advance from seetickets and available locally from Slide Record Shop and Esquires.
Spike, Nigel Mogg, Luke Morley, Willie Dowling and Harry James look forward to seeing everyone in the bar to raise a glass and plenty of funds for Luke and his family.
“God Bless yas,” said Spike.
