MUSIC fans had a night to remember with the rock group Feeder coming to town and performing live in Whitchurch at a sold out gig.
The South Wales rockers performed in Percy's Cafe Bar, The Star Hotel, Watergate on Saturday, March 12, in a gig that was described by bosses at the bar as the biggest band to hit Whitchurch since the Beatles played in 1963.
Feeder had initially planned to perform in Whitchurch on January 15 but postpone the tour until March amid rising Covid cases.
And about 100 people crammed into the popular venue to watch the band, known for hits such as Buck Rogers, blow the Covid cobwebs away.
Percy's Cafe Bar owner Mark Steptoe Daws said it had been a memorable occasion for both the venue and for Whitchurch.
Owner, Mark Steptoe Daws said: "It was an amazing night here at Percy's Cafe Bar with Feeder, the biggest band to play in the town in 50 years.
"We has fantastic feedback from the band and those who attended from far and wide.
"We bring superb bands and artists from around the world every weekend to Whitchurch. They support our town's economy
"They use local hotels, food outlets and amenities."
The show was well received by fans who were at Percy's Cafe Bar to see the gig live.
Gareth Dodds said: "Amazing night for Whitchurch as Feeder were the biggest band to play in Whitchurch since the Beetles.
"From playing at Glastonbury, Leeds and Reading and V Festival to have them playing in Whitchurch is a testament to the hard work that Percy's have put into it.
"They played for just over 1 hour and 15 mins and gave a polished performance playing hits such as 'Buck Rogers,' 'Just A Day' and 'Just the Way I’m Feeling' alongside the new single 'The Healing' which is taken from the bands new album 'Torpedo' being released at the end of this week.
"Percy’s has live music weekly and really keep the music scene alive in Whitchurch.
"Hopefully they are able to attract more big names in the future."
Ed Dale added: "The atmosphere was awesome.
"The venue was packed and people were queuing outside before the doors opened.
"It was a fantastic night for the people of Whitchurch."
Feeder paid tribute to the fans for coming.
They said: "Great night at Percy's.
"Thanks to everyone that came."
Feeder will be heading up to Liverpool to perform on Saturday, March 19 and then performing in Nottingham on Sunday, March 20.
