Champions

The Yorkshire band, under MD David Roberts, performed the aptly titled 'We are the Champions' for the opening of the live show from the QIPCO British Champions event at Ascot racecourse, where they had been engaged to perform by events company Mode for...Events at the richest day in British horse racing calendar.

Performing prior to the after-party headlining Paloma Faith, Rothwell impressed the packed crowds with their showcase performances throughout the day.
