Cousins & Willoughby gigs, 1997-1998 |

|
Hud and John guest with "Just Say No" and "Part Of The Union" at the Conservative Party Spring Conference, 2001 - strange but true.

Cry No More |
|
Cry No More is Roy Hill and Chas Cronk - the heady mix of humour and well-crafted songs perfomed by this dynamic duo is a joy to watch at their occasional (usually Christmas) one-off gigs. Check out the Cry No More website.
