'Leaving for the Coast'

The Palers' Festival in Los Angeles, 25–28 July 2003

 


People BtP wants to thank for making the Palers' Festival such a success

Palers' Band pictures: Charlie K's pictures: graphical souvenirs of this weekend

'Beyond the Pale' has in the past hosted marvellous conventions for Procol Harum fans in Guildford (2000), Kristiansand (2001), Manchester (2001), Croydon (2002), where we have eaten, drunk, and played together on the eve of Procol performances – and where we have been joined socially by members of the band themselves.

We are now delighted to announce 'Leaving for the Coast', a three-day social and musical festival for Palers, to be held in Los Angeles, California and centred, of course, on the open-air Procol Harum amphitheatre gig on the evening of 28 July.
