How did it start?
It all started just before the Rugby World Cup 1999, when Phil suggested singing some Max Boyce songs in town for charity.
John came up with the name "Boycezone" and the rest of us came up with the good looks and talent.
It ended up with four of us standing outside Cardiff Castle, giving each other the encouragement and support to do something we couldn't do alone - dress up like Max and sing his songs on the street.
We managed to raise £12 from the first outing (Wales v Japan) building up to £350 for the Australia v France final.
In total we collected over £1000 for Vision Foundation (based in Ebbw Vale) from playing on the street and from TV and radio fees during the World Cup matches.
If you've seen us play before or after a match and helped out - THANKS!
