Trust Benefit Gig - Ipswich Town News

Music-loving Town fans are particularly well catered for this week with a benefit gig for Ipswich Town Ist, the supporters trust, hot on the heels of the Elton John concert.

They Fight Crime are fronted by Clive Watling, formerly of Elmerhassel and Chocolate. Clive is a North Stand season ticket holder and named an Elmerhassel album John Wark in tribute to the Town legend.

They also recorded a version of the classic Town song Ipswich Get That Goal which was featured on the Songs of Ipswich Town album a couple of years ago.

Clive was also behind Psycho Delia's Pride in Ipswich single which remains the only CD to appear on the TWTD label.
