Due to a family illness Andy has had to call it a day with The Hicksville Bombers, he will still be doing the odd gig now and again and we wish him and De all the luck and good fortune for the future. To replace Andy Shaun Cutts ( Boogie Children, Relentless etc) has offered his services, Shaun has been a good friend with the Bombers for nearly 20 years and has helped out with the odd gig so it was an easy choice to have Shaun join the band, his first gig starts 21st August at the Red Lion, Crowle, Near Scunthorpe.
