Local Cambridge Bands, Equinox, After , AnDog, Linda's Nephew, 9Fold Punch & Badwell Ash & John Pearce, all gave stunning performances, mixed with almost famous bands such as The Clerks, Current BBC radio 1 favourites, who travelled from France, AntiCage and Exciting happy metal dub fusion band from the Chezch Republic, and ACACIA up and coming rock band from the midlands who have just completed a USA tour.
Legendary Sound Man Mick Hughes from Metalica also stopped by to check out the bands. Mick was impressed with the quality of the bands and especially thought that "AntiCage had a unique blend of Rock that could see them hit the big time in the coming months."

A Celebration Of Life. Teenage Kicks Cambridge Unsigned Bands & International Guests AntiCage MS therapy Charity Memorial in Memory of Tom Jones (Inkus).
A truly amazing display of energy, enthusiasm, musical talent channelled in a celebration of Life-
22nd October 2005 & January 2007 The Corn exchange was packed with 1000 music fans, of all ages who played tribute to Tom Jones, and celebrated his life, with an evening of fine local music, topped off with some international special guests.
"hey, I didnt actually know Tom but tonight I went to the tribute gig, at the Corn exchange in Cambridge and I thought it was truly amazing and I am sure Tom is looking down proud of everyone who played. well done everyone"
Early reviews of the Gig were upbeat, and the respected independent www. Cambridgebands.com commented -
Overall, a strong night, some fantastic talent, and I hope that it all happens again next year. Support for this should be, and is, strong. Everyone went home happy and as the last strains of Jerusalem faded away, into the night I am sure Tom was loving it.
Paul T of FMS promotions said; I would like to thank all those who turned up and supported the event, plus the whole of the local music and media community who have banded together to make this such a special night. This event was a great memorial for Tom and a gathering of young people and music fans of all ages from across the UK and a truly great way to celebrate life of a talented youngster who was on the edge of success .
