Ruck and roll music.Davon Whitaker Leicester might have suffered a season to forget but a night to recollect is in the offing as 4 Tigers take up guitars and curly wigs in help of a co-worker wounded in a sad accident. Slo Progress ? Featuring ( from left to right ) the bents of Ayoola Erinle, Benjamin Kayser, Sam Vesty and Dan Hipkiss of the Leicester Tigers ? Get in some practice before tonight's fund-raiser for the Matt Hampson Trust Fund. Any Leicester rugby fan still stumbling in shock around the town tonight will get the confirmation they wish the Tigers are indeed going to the dogs should they peer thru the steamy windows of the Mason and Brooke boozer. They'll be up there, out front of about a hundred open-mouthed advocates, joyously making fools of themselves for a youthful co-worker who paralysed himself from the neck down in a coaching accident. For the Beatles it was that 1st night at the cave ; for Led Zeppelin the "Houses of the Holy" tour ; for Queen it was Live help, for the Sex Pistols that last concert at Winterland. And for Slo Progress it absolutely was a Stars in Their Eyes night at Welford Road. Hipkiss is rather adept at poking fun at his band, as he proved in a walk through last week in the club bar at the ground. Hipkiss has been so eager to get his costume right that he's even brought to wearing it in walk thru. Yet Hipkiss can sing, just as Vesty can play the rhythm and Ernile can play the keyboards. Indeed, Chuter could be one of the final men on earth you would expect to be gripping a saxophone. And "Hear the Sax Solo off Baker Street" does not quite have the same ring, does it? ). You would not need them getting carried away, while it sounds as if Hipkiss already has. As rugby players we've got lots of time on our hands and this is excellent for group bonding.". The Puma supremo may even turn up tonight, as he could do with entertaining up. Just as long as Dan and the boys don't strike up "Don't Cry For Me Argentina". *CARLOS TEVEZ The Argentine's band, Piolo Vago, are exponents of cumbia villera or shanty-town music. *John McEnroe Toured with the Johnny Smyth Band for 2 years, before giving up in 1997. *Morten Gamst Pedersen Blackburn midfielder fronts The Players, who had a charity hit across Scandinavia. *Slaven Bilic Croatia coach plays guitar for band Rawbau, who had a number 1 hit in the home. |
