The famous and timeless four primary colour PELE T-Shirt is now available again. Back in the 1990s these great old shirts were present at most indie gigs and hundreds could be seen wearing them at the riotous PELE shows. All sizes are available.

Also available for the Best Of Ian Prowse year are brilliant new Amsterdam tops which sold out on the recent tour. If you order both t-shirts together we’ll throw in the ‘Glorious return of Amsterdam DVD’ for free!

Ian and Johnny will return to their home town’s biggest and most glorious venue on Saturday 2 June for the most important Amsterdam show of the year. The gig has been specially booked to celebrate ‘The Very Best Of Ian Prowse’ CD and is the first time in 18 years Ian has played at the Ellesmere Port Civic Hall which is the crown jewel in the town’s civic area.

Ian is really looking forward to seeing a lot of familiar faces and putting on a truly great show for the town we’re he did his first ever gig at the local Youth Centre back in 1982. ‘I think I know every single person in the ‘Port’, that’s about 80,000 people! We’re gonna have a hell of a party afterwards as well, a real celebration, don’t miss this one’.

The night will be made extra special as the 8 piece Amsterdam musical circus will also be joined by the genuinely legendary Brian Saxophone Jones on a tune or two.
