ONE of Viola Beach s best loved songs has been reimagined to mark five years since we lost the Warrington band. Featuring seven singers, two guitarists, a bassist and a drummer, a cover of Swings and Waterslides has been recorded by the town s community of musicians and will be released on Friday, February 12. The charity single has even been mixed by Viola Beach s former sound engineer Cal Bate, who now works with Blossoms. Viola Beach were hotly tipped to become one of the UK’s biggest indie bands. But the lives of Kris Leonard, Jack Dakin, River Reeves, Tom Lowe and their Woolston manager Craig Tarry were tragically cut short on February 13, 2016, when they were travelling back from their first international gig at Where s the Music? festival in Norrköping.
