Supporting Gary Brooker and Guests with 'Procol Rarum'

The Palers' Project is a loose international collective of Procol Harum fans who record the songs of Brooker, Fisher, Trower and Reid for their own and others' pleasure: their very well-received three 2 CD collections are available from The BtP store here.

A representative group of musicians came, after brief rehearsal, together to play some of these alternative arrangements (click the titles) of Procol Harum tunes live – for the first time – at St John's Smith Square as support act for Gary Brooker and Guests. The band's sound was mixed by Graham Ewins, Procol's sound man. The show was book-ended by Ian Hockley playing at the fine church organ, up behind the audience: he started with some pieces from the classical repertoire that would mean something to Procol fans, proceeding to his own arrangements of Procol pieces.
