Pendragon News Letter Jan 2010
Welcome and a very Happy New Year to you all,
2009 was a brilliant year for Pendragon and 2010 looks set to be an even
better one, with Pure still riding high in many charts and still getting great
reviews.
We have some amazing shows this year including the High Voltage Festival in
London which is set to be THE festival of the year , with ELP and ZZ Top
headlining and a welcome return for Pendragon to America and Scotland!
Work is underway for the new album, which will hopefully be out Spring 2011
and you can check out Nick's Ramblings to catch up on its progress at

Classic Rock Society
Awards
Pendragon swept the board at the recent Classic Rock Society Awards in
Wath, South Yorkshire. The first award was for best Classic Rock gig of 2009
which was at the Montgomery Hall last May.
The band then went on to scoop most of the Best
Musician awards, Scott and Clive getting Best Drummer and Best Keys player, but
were sadly not there to collect their trophies as they were in Bolivia working
on Clive's She project. Nick said some words for them and they will be
utterly over the moon about this as Scott said this is the first time in his
life he has ever won anything for drumming, and Clive has been saying it's about
time he won best key player again, and finally Nick took best guitarist..all awards were handed out by Gordon
Gliptrap who was a helluva nice guy and dead funny!   |

Holy heck, best drummer, keyboardist and guitarist! 
All I can say is its about time the boys got some recognition for the brilliant musicians they are!  Really great to see them doing well!
Also, already super-excited about the upcoming album!!! Although I only have two albums so far (  ) I'm really glad to hear about more music being made!
Hopefully I can work through the rest of the albums by the time 2011 swings around. Thanks Wilcey! -------------

Sorry there is no Peel gig in this batch of dates, it's a tricky thing, when we play the Peel people say "why no gig in XXX" We'v done a lot of Peel dates in the last couple of years, at this time we decided to give some other places a go. It's a writing time so not quite as many dates this year, next year there will be heaps for the release of Passion. Gordon Giltrap, top notch guitar fella.........http://www.giltrap.co.uk/ you'll recognise the toooons Chop!  Bob, I'll defo be in touch! A Friday night this time in Glasgeee, so no getting up early for work in the morning! Woop Woop! We loved Glasgow last year, it was one of our highlights, really looking forward to the return trek!
