If any brits were tuned into the BBC West Midlands Radio this evening (  ) you would have heard an interview from somewhere in the depths of Europe with Nick Barrett (Pendragon) 10 minutes of chat about the 30th Anniversary tour and the new album PURE, and the DJ says "I saw on Prog-Archives that Pure is the most popular album at the mo!"  Nick went on to thank all you lovely PA folk  Why BBC West Midlands? Well, the Pendies get back to the UK tomorrow and hit the Classic Rock Soc's Montgomery Hall in Wath on Saturday, and Robin2 , Bilston (west midland dontchya know) on Sunday. Tickets, info and all that jazz at www.pendragon.mu The Pendies have sold out tonight in Strasbourg, it'll be nice for a BIG welcome home celebration crowd at these UK shows! (Rob Reed & Tina Magenta to support) also 7th & 8th November a double do at The Peel. The Friday sees Martin Orfords last UK show as support (it's going to be fun AND emotional!) & Rob,Tina & Chris from MAgenta support on the Saturday night. Each night the mighty Pendragon will play a different set and tickets are becoming rare for these shows! See you at a show soon! W x |

That's great news. It's nice to be name-checked by one of the giants of Prog.

I really hope Sunday is a sell out, if anything because I'm becoming used to seeing the robin only half full or a prog gig.

I've had upteen e-mails over the last month from folk who've driven 2,3,400, upto 1000kn to get to a show, they've all been packed out and they've all been fabulous........... it just doesn't happen in the UK. (despite Fanny's best efforts!!!) See ya Sunday!  |
