CLASSIC ROCK SOCIETY AWARDS 2012

 

Saturday 23rd February saw the annual awards for the CLASSIC ROCK SOCIETY take place in Wath-upon-Dearne at the Montgomery Hall. Following an entertaining acoustic guitar performance by brothers Chris & Dan Fry, guest presenter BOB HARRIS took the stage with Stephen Lambe & Steve Pilkington of the CLASSIC ROCK SOCIETY to host the awards ceremony, where the successful acts of 2012 were celebrated. Only  members of the CLASSIC ROCK SOCIETY were allowed to vote, and this year more of you than ever before took the time to do so.  Magenta rounded off the Awards evening with another great performance. Many artists from the music world were in attendance, including STEVE HACKETT, a long time supporter of the CLASSIC ROCK SOCIETY.
