Factory have just released their new album entitled Back In The Time Machine and this will be available for sale at the event. This is only the second time in 45 years that Factory have played in the town with their full original line-up. Brothers Andy and Tony Qunta (12-string guitar, keyboards, vocals and lead guitar, electric violin, vocals respectively), Geoff “Jaffa” Peckham (bass guitar, vocals) and Lol Cooksey (drums, vocals) first got together in April 1970 and Factory was born.
