A sort of mini-reunion marking 10 years since the Soft Boys split.
A J Card found on eBay (see image) claimed this event was a benefit for Bosnian refugees. It also claims the show was sold out and that both Soft Boys bassists were there, but we have no other evidence that Matthew played. Per info files on the archive.org recordings, it was Robyn, Andy, Morris, Peter, Kim and Tim.

Reviews
The following day, Kris and I went to Powerhaus in Islington to see Robyn live again, with much of the set being played by a version of The Soft Boys, including Kimberley Rew.
This time out the covers were The Byrds’ Eight Miles High and Mystery Train, originally done by Elvis Presley, with the other musicians being Tim Keegan (who’s also played with The Blue Aeroplanes) and Peter Buck.
