PRESSGANG GIGS NEW CD CD's PHOTOS VOXPOP

Unbelieveable but true... :

By now, Pressgang has become even more of a reality, having played a few gigs in the UK and one in Germany. The audience reception has been outstanding...playing for three and a half hours in Germany...as if there had been no gap in the band's tour schedule. And...we have been booked for some UK festivals as well as getting offers to play in Germany, though sadly we havent been able to take up some of them, but hope to do so next year.

It all happened so quickly...one minute it was just an idea and the next they are all playing together, striking up songs like "Flanders" and "She walks in beauty" and grinning at each other. George, Tony, Cliff and Damian, the line-up that toured everywhere from Chemnitz to Texas, from Udine to Zundert and 50 miles from everywhere in the UK. Older, maybe a little wiser, but with all the same energy and spirit that made the FIRE! album.

Why are they doing it? Well...they miss playing those festivals and events all over Europe where Pressgang could be big, exciting, moving, dangerous, and hopefully very entertaining. The chaps only plan to play between 10 - 20 concerts between September and next August and then they will see how it goes. This is their chance to play but not compromise. If the venue isn't right for the full sound or to dance in then they won't play it. There'll be no touring, there'll be no acoustic filler gigs, this will be the full monty everytime. The set will be full of the festival favourites, loads to dance to, to sing along with, to juggle and whistle to ... dance crazy!

Still on approval

We have the last copies of the TWAH! CDs, "Burning Boats" and a few copies of "Fire!" "Mappa Mundi" sold out. We are going to continue the Vox Pop offer of selling these on approval, if you don't like the CD you send it back. The other Vox Pop CDs are still on sale too

See you at a gig...
