The BBs' Last Tango in Tewkesbury, Middle Stanley, Gloucestershire - 23rd July 2016
The BBs are up in Tewkesbury, Gloucester, to play for Jo's sister's 50th birthday at a rented house/hamlet up in the honey-limestone hills of Middle Stanley, deep in the Cotswolds. As it happened, it also marks the end of the fourteen-year run of The BBs as Jo announces her departure in a post-breakfast meet-up at the Premier Inn, before the band return to the venue to pick up the gear for the last time.
