CAN you believe it has been five years since we lost Viola Beach? The shock may have worn off but the sadness very much endures and it has become a moment in Warrington’s collective recent history which has become etched in our memories. Many people in the town may not have heard the band’s self-released shimmering indie pop song, Swings and Waterslides, when it originally came out. There is a good chance they did not even know who Kris Leonard, Jack Dakin, River Reeves and Tom Lowe were. But I think I am safe in saying almost everyone in Warrington felt that blow following the tragic event in Södertälje, Sweden.
