News The Pigeon Detectives Return For Charity Gig

The Pigeon Detectives have announced they will soon play their first gig in their hometown of Leeds for two years.

The show is a one off to raise money for SMILE - The Chloe Tate Foundation, and it'll take place at the Cockpit on 6th December.

'We wanted to get involved in raising money for this cause as Chris and Jenna (founders of SMILE) are both good friends of everyone in the band,' they explain. 'The courage they and their family showed through a difficult time and a tragic loss was an inspiration to everyone who knew them. Seeing the dedication, passion and energy they have put into raising awareness for the illness (and also a substantial amount of cash for a baby incubator) has propelled us into wanting to be involved and to help them reach their target of £10,000.'

Tickets are on sale now and can be picked up from lunatickets.co.uk.

'Please, please dig deep,' they add, 'and make a donation of whatever you can to help them achieve their goal and hopefully contribute towards saving the lives of other babies affected by this condition. All donations are greatly appreciated.'
