'Beyond the Pale' presents Gary Brooker and Guests |
 |
This unique event is intended to give all Procol Harum fans the chance to
hear some of the legendary Brooker / Reid songs
that cannot be found in a
conventional CD collection. Gary tells us that the programme will be drawn from
the following:
• songs that Procol Harum played live, but never recorded
• songs that have not been played outside the studio
• Brooker / Reid songs predating
the formation of Procol Harum
• Brooker / Reid film soundtrack material
• Alternative versions of familiar Procol Harum songs
• Intimate voice-and-piano performance of songs familiar from Procol
concerts
The musicians: drummer Martin Wright, bassist
Dave Bronze, reedsman
Frank Mead, guitarist Tim
Renwick
with Procol regulars Geoff Whitehorn, Matt Pegg, Josh Phillips, and ace
guitarist Dave Ball
Keith Reid of course topped the guest-list!
Doors open 6.30 pm • Support was provided by The Palers' Project:

St John's, Smith Square, in the heart of Westminster, is one of London's major concert venues and favourite historic buildings. Valued for its superb acoustic, it presents an extremely varied programme of classical music throughout the concert season, ranging from choirs and symphony orchestras to solo instrumental recitals. Built in 1728, and restored after damage in the Second World War, St John's is one of the finest examples of English Baroque architecture and is considered a masterpiece of this style.
