Blossoms are remembering Viola Beach during their UK tour by playing a full set from the band’s gig at Leamington Spa recorded just last week.
Viola Beach had been due to support Blossoms from last night (February 18th) in Bournemouth before all four members of the band, along with their manager, were killed in a road accident in Sweden during the early hours of February 13th.
“We first met Viola Beach on 2nd October 2015 at King Tuts Glasgow,” Blossoms have said on Facebook. “They were playing across town with Eliza and the Bear and they came down after to watch our set. We hung out that night and then invited them on tour. They were a great gang and a brilliant band.”
“The last time we saw them was after the Leamington Spa show last Thursday. We said our goodbyes to them as they headed off to Sweden. We’ll never forget them. Their tunes forever in our heads; Craig, Jack, Kris, River and Tom always in our hearts.”
