Roger Daltrey handpicks support band

The Who have personally invited an unsigned band to support them when they play their Teenage Cancer Trust gig next week (March 31).

Band The Electric City will open up for the rock veterans at the Royal Albert Hall, performing alongside Vincent Vincent And The Villains.
