But that was all a decade ago and the songs, the stories, the secrets are long since buried. Until now.Drawn back together for one night only to play a benefit gig in their hometown, three former bandmates find a community reeling from a poisoning and a pandemic. Will the old songs still work their magic And just how far has time thrown these friends from their younger selvesThe Band Back Together was first produced by Farnham Maltings and received a regional UK tour from March 2024.
