You’re a phoney

Rarely has an Amsterdam show been so filled with excitement and anticipation.The boys have especially chosen their spiritual home of the famous Borderline club in London’s Soho to record their first-ever live CD.

The show which takes place on Friday 14 July promises to be one of those ‘you had to be there’ Amsterdam shows. Support on the evening comes from acoustic band Lucky. Tickets are still available from Seetickets and Ticketweb.

Ian Prowse will play two very rare acoustic shows this week on the Wirral in North west England. The first is at Bar one in the Merseyside stockbroker belt of Hoylake on Thursday night and the second is at 2A Price Street/Life Cafe in Birkenhead on Friday night.

Not particularly fond of playing in such a setting Ian claims to be ‘getting used to it’ and very excited about playing some of the new tunes that have been ‘pouring out’ lately. More details are in the live section of the site.
