Overview
The Pigeon Detectives will be playing an exclusive gig next Thursday 24th April at the Cockpit - tickets are £15 in advance.
What is particularly special about this show is that the Pigeons have decided to donate all proceeds towards the rehabilitation of an old friend and dedicated fan Brad Hodgson who sadly suffered a brain injury as the result of a road traffic accident in December 2006. All proceeds for this gig will be going to the Bradley Hodgson Trust Fund which helps to pay for the outstanding rehabilitation that Brad continues to receive at Pinderfield Hospital, Wakefiled.
Everyone involved in this Pigeon's show has rallied round - even the booking outlets have waived their usual fees (although some credit card charges may still apply) and the band's crew and are also donating their wages.
The group, who recently opened the NME Awards Shows with a blistering headlining appearance at the Astoria, head out for a full UK tour in May which over 70,000 people have already snapped up tickets for.

'EMERGENCY' is the brand new album from The Pigeon Detectives and is released on the 26th May 2008 – exactly two days shy of a year after their debut 'Wait For Me' came out.
It crashed into the charts at number three and has since achieved platinum status, a first for their independent label Dance to The Radio.
A single 'This Is An Emergency' is released on the 12th May, which some fans may remember from their sell out dates last year.
The band (Matt Bowman – vocals / Ryan Wilson – guitar / Jimmi Naylor – drums / Oli Main – guitar / Dave Best- bass) recorded 'Emergency' in Monnow Valley in Wales with producer Stephen Street and it's currently being mixed by Cenzo Townshend with whom they worked with on the last record.
