Quarry Theatre Highlights

fynnius fogg

Saturday 12th September, 7.30pm

A charity concert in support of the Bedford Blues Foundation.

Fynnius Fogg, a band formed by school friends Bernard, Jamie, and Tony in 1972, stands as a remarkable example of musical passion and community spirit.

Starting with popular music of the early 1970s, the trio quickly gained recognition for their polished performances around Bedford, leading to a recording contract with PYE Records. Their debut single, β€œRoller Skating Baby,” achieved notable success by reaching No. 17 in the UK charts, marking their entry into the national music scene.
