Slam Dunk festival - The Audition.
Anyway, among what seemed like a million awesome bands on the bill, were The Audition. After whipping the Glamour Kills Stage crowd into a floppy fringed frenzy, singer Danny dived a good 20ft from a balcony into the masses below! Apparently a girl suffered a broken collarbone (I know how ouchy that is!) If you're reading this, broken collarbone girl, we hope you're okay!!!
The guys over at PUNKTASTIC caught it all on video, so take a peek - (go to 1:40.)

Try and catch them in a town near you!
