Pele will hit the stage at 9:45pm for the final reunion show this Saturday night. The show will begin at 8:00pm with Richard O’Flynn before the great Colin Clarke from Rain hits the stage.

You WILL be able to pay on the door though tickets will be cheaper from the Cavern pub opposite. We hope everybody has a great time and brings their singing voices to say goodbye to a great nineties band before Ian continues on his grand musical journey with Amsterdam early next year.

There are now tickets behind the bar in the Cavern pub (opposite the Cavern on Mathew Street). You can either visit in person or ring up and reserve yourself one on 0151 236 4041.

Also, anybody who is in the Chester region on Friday night can see Ian, Johnny and Anna kick up an impromptu storm at the Chester city’s football club from 9:00pm onwards. Just turn up and pay on the door at this special unannounced event.

The third and final Pele reunion show will take place very soon on Saturday December 5 at the world famous Cavern club in Liverpool.

The show is sure to be a great Christmas celebration of those great old songs played by the original members of Pele who did three albums on Polydor/M&G back in the 1990s. You can listen to the great old songs at www.myspace.com/pelemusic.

Support on the night come from Rain who were signed to Columbia back in the 90s and who reform specially for this occasion. Listen to them her at www.myspace.com/rainliverpool.

Opening up the night will be Liverpool’s newest and best talent Richard O’Flynn. Read all about him on liverpoolecho.co.uk.
