The Pigeon Detectives will be playing special gig next Thursday April 24 at the Cockpit in Leeds.

Tickets are £15 in advance and go on sale on Saturday morning at Crash, Jumbo and www.seetickets.com.

The band will be donating 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. The money is going to the Bradley Hodgson Trust Fund which helps to pay for the outstanding rehabilitation that Brad continues to receive at Pinderfield Hospital, Wakefield.

Booking outlets have waived their usual fees (although some credit card charges may still apply) and the band's crew are also donating their wages from the night.
