As a warm-up, the crowd was treated to a poem about their late mutual friend Tony Wilson of The Haçienda, entitled Saint Anthony; then followed his ode to the Donnelly's, which he declared "is not even about them". The complex police investigation involved police forces across the East Midlands and the north of England, who seized kilos of amphetamine and cocaine as they unravelled the gang’s movements across the country.
