Spirit of SormoRock

A German / Italian Procol tribute band in action • 25 April 2013


Carlo 'Jack' Ponissi from the Italian band 'SormoRock' sends the following information to BtP:
 
I'd like to let you – and the readers of BtP – know that my Berlin based band, Spirit of SormoRock, built in the spirit of the Italian one and featuring prominently the music of Procol Harum, is now ready for its début concert.

Such concert will be held here in Berlin on April 25 at the Artenschutztheater: hope to see many Procol Harum enthusiasts drop by.

The address of the Artenschutztheater is Lüneburger Straße 370, 10557-Berlin, the concert will begin around 21.00:
