Slim Chance

Slim Chance will return to the Water Rats, this time with a brand new live album under their belts, their fifth since reforming (still unrepentant!) over a dozen years ago.
Definitely an excellent reason to celebrate, especially as 2024 marks 50 years since Ronnie Lane took to the road with the legendary Passing Show. Expect a cracking show!
