We're gonna smash it!”  Piano player and chief songwriter Don Walker said the band was going all out. ‘We’ll be doing a set which reaches back across our whole song catalogue, which should all make The Big Five-0 a tour to remember," Guitarist and singer Ian Moss has reassured fans they'll hear the most popular hits in the setlist.
