Woo hoo. 
After much shouting at the guy at the Peel down the phone line, I have (hopefully) secured my tickets for the 8th November.

I think the plan for South America is for June, but we're waiting on confirmations at the moment, I'll post firm news AS SOON as we have it!
A "Shed Meet" in Bilston??? For Sure!!! I'm banking on it!!!! Beer and mowing tips abound!  Really looking forward to it!
I'll join the tour in Barcelona  and finish up with them, So I'll be slightly fresher than the rest of the bus!

Please! I want to see them in action! It would be so GREAT to see them here in Argentina. Keep up the good work with the News
Please PM me if you have any confirmations, still it's a long time June.. Better not forget about it!

^^^^ Yes please!!!!
Ok, hot news!
The Pendie on-line store now accepts all PayPal Payments as well as debit/credit cards. We've added this to the store due to the number of requests,(jolly good idea too!) all payments through the store are secure, the addition of PayPal to payment options means that the store is now open to use for those of you who don't carry plastic!
Hooorah!
 Did I mention pre-orders are open now.................???...............................

About touring the States, the boys would LOVE to be able to. Someone makes an approach to the band with a reasonable proposition to pretty much ANYWHERE in the world then they would seriously persue that. An to be considered *reasonable* it needs not to LOSE a load of cash, thats all!
There will be more touring in the spring. Hopefully, South America, Canada, Bulagaria, Romania and UK amongst other places
Are you kidding about South America?? If you're not, please tell me dates and country! I would LOVE to see a Prog band live, and in this case Pendragon!

^ see post above and change USA for Scotland!
in all seriousness it's being looked into for next year, although to be fair, gigs in the UK (england too) are notorious for being a big financial loser, and the further travelled the more lost so it's going to take some working out.......... but hopefully next year we'll haul ass up to Bonny Scotland

I read an article last week in the Wall Street Journal, (at least I think it was the WSJ), that talked about how many small bands have had to curtail or discontinue their touring because of the increased cost of gas.

Right, I think a band like Pendragon would only lose money touring in the states, especially with gas prices the way they are.
