James bass player and founder member Jim Glennie said: “I'm very pleased that we will be playing Scarborough Open Air Theatre this summer – our fourth time there in fact. If you haven't been there before, then make sure you come. It's a cracking venue and you can even have a paddle in the sea before the show!”
