Hi everyone,
Drummond's favourite Zoo Records act, the Wild Swans, have announced two low-key reunion gigs in Liverpool at the end of July. Tickets limited to 200 for each night, so it's a tiny venue. As some of you will have realised, I'm a massive fans of the Swans and lead singer Paul Simpson in particular (he has also recorded as Skyray, whose track "Mind Lagoons" featured Bill Drummond vocals (under the pseudonym Tensing Scott-Brown)). Anyway, I thought some on hear may be interested.
And unlike most nostalgia-market reunion gigs, the Wild Swans will be using the shows to preview their new album (the first for twenty years).
More info here: http://www.thewildswans.co.uk/ (where you can also buy copies of their most recent single, "English Electric Lightning" (their first single since 1987)).
