This is the ninth
incarnation of the Palers' Band, which meets on the
fringes of Procol's own concerts and plays the Harum
repertoire at Palers' parties. Previous meetings include
Mirelle's in Westbury, NY, USA, in July 2014,
Live Club Barmen in Wuppertal, April 2013; St John's in
London, July 2007; Domus Felix, Lejre (two nights in
2006); BB King's Club in Hollywood (two nights in July
2003); Salford University, UK, in June 2001;
Quality Hotel Kristiansand, May 2001; and the Civic
Centre in Guildford in 2000, where the whole enterprise
began.
We're doing things a bit
differently this time (after eight full-on Palers' Band
extravaganzas): a small stage, and a couple of shortish,
'unplugged' sets on Thursday 26 May.
The rehearsals are on Monday 23, Tuesday 24,
and Wednesday 25 May at a small, nicely-equipped
studio on the edge of nearby Voorburg (one thing that
hasn't changed: once you agree to play, please treat it
as a commitment)
Guitarists and bassists will bring their own instruments but backline, Roland digital piano, Pearl drums and a small PA will be provided.
The hired gear we rehearse with will then be transported to the
party, so it will all be familiar when we play live.
BtP won't be using the typical players' sign-up form, because the available
playing-space
just won't work with the usual big crowd (much as we love that approach).
We'll decide what can be done, in terms of instrumentation and repertoire, when we know who's interested: so please send an e-mail to webmaster@procolharum.com and say hello. Just one caveat: as far as drummers/percussionists go, we're now FULL. Sorry!
Thanks to a healthy uptake – involving players and singers from from UK, USA, Oman, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands – we'll be closing applications at 23:59 GMT on Thursday 24 March.
