## The reunion returns

A year after Family’s two February 2013 reunion shows, the band returned to the Shepherd’s Bush Empire. The 2014 run also took in the O2 Academy Islington on 30 January and Butlins Skegness on 7 February. Roger Chapman, Rob Townsend, Poli Palmer and Jim Cregan again formed the touring lineup, with Cregan covering the guitar chair in Charlie Whitney’s absence.
