Superfan Tony Dawson-Hill has spent the past year campaigning for a blue plaque to be erected in St Alban's: "I am a huge fan of The Zombies and have been ever since I first saw them live in '63/'64 at the Ballito Stocking Factory in St Albans. The idea for the blue plaque came about because Rod Argent always tells the story of how all five original members of the band first met outside the Blacksmith's Arms pub in St Albans and my wife Gill suggested it would be a good idea to commemorate this momentous occasion with a blue plaque."
The band will be unveiling the blue plaque at the Blacksmith's Arms, St Albans, next Friday 27th April at 2pm.

The band are still very much alive and well, having released an acclaimed album of new material "Breathe Out, Breathe In" last year to celebrate their 50th Anniversary and begin a UK tour this May.
Members of The Zombies will be in attendance, including Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone, for this auspicious occasion.
