He added: "I wanted to do something together because I went to the Wembley match and seeing all the fans there was great, so I just thought I’d come and play some songs
“I played around the town for years and I love Shrewsbury as a town, even though I have to live in London now, but Shrewsbury is still home, so it’s nice to be involved with this.”
