At Warwick Festival last night it was announced that the performance of the Mrs Ackroyd Band would, regrettably, be their last, due to the fact that Les has got to go into hospital for surgery.

Quite a sad note to end a brilliant festival on.


Let's all wish Les the best for his op and hope that Mrs A will reform at some time in the future. They will be very much missed!

Weston Super Mare Pier and Mrs Ackroyd on the same day.... tragedy indeed!

Good luck Les, hope the surgery is successful.

Speedy recuperation and good health to you, Les! I still hope to see Mrs. A (the band, not the renowned canine of memory) in person someday.
