“Quiet Riot is delighted to be returning to Beverley. It will be a special one-off celebration of our friend’s life.”
“Graham was a massive music fan. He loved local bands particularly at the monthly night’s Quiet Riot gigs at Hodgsons Pub between 2014-15.”

“On Friday there will be performances from the Church of Non Believers, Goole band Sandra’s Wedding and The Kings Horses. Also, the Rebellious Jukebox DJs will be playing Graham’s favourite songs throughout the evening.”
“Quiet Riot will also be trying out a new venue. We will be at Beverley Town Cricket Club for the first time. On the night we will have three great bands and also a soundtrack of Graham’s favourite songs.”
“This will be a new venue for Quiet Riot and if all goes well the Hull music scene may be returning to Beverley on a regular basis.”
