Charity number two is the "Funky Flamingo Disability Group" - a club/arts group for disabled people, organised and run by disabled adults and youngsters from Cambs and beyond.

Le Brewery Festivale, 2011 France
Angel Underground went to France for a few glorious days of beer, music and fantastic food at the Le Brewery Festival. We played two gigs to two absolutely rocking audiences - man, do the french like Johnny B Good!!!
We also had some bizarre moments - we worked out that, from base to gig in Normandy (return) we travelled 999 miles. Strangely, when we received the news that Bin Laden had been killed, we had travelled 911 miles. Spooky!
We got lost trying to find our lodgings - they were surrounded by the only fog in the whole region! Honeywitch, who travelled with us, made ridiculous amounts of money (well, 20 Euros!) doing tarot readings, but strangely her dowsing skills didn't help us in the fog!
Then in a moment of pure parellell universe/Twilight Zone we found the French Angel Underground ! They had formed in their teens in the same decade as us and were singing about many of the same things, with some identical song titles... Black Shelby, our French brothers, we love you, you rock!!
