We are so sad to hear that Bomber AKA Mark Thompson passed away recently, having just turned 70. He was a massive part of Stayfree during the Friday Street and Lillie House days. He later went on to become an incredibly talented sculptor.

Bombers band G.R.O.W.T.H were on the Stayfree record label in the 90's. Check out 'Stars'
