How best to send in photos, reports and so on about the current Procol Harum tour

Interesting to see (on the counter at the foot of this page) that – since Procol Harum crossed the Atlantic – the USA has almost caught up with the UK in terms of the numbers of individual computers connecting to 'Beyond the Pale' (see the statistics for January 2010)

June 8:  Procol Harum play Boston in a week, and  Wolf Trap tonight

June 7: Procol Harum play Wolf Trap tomorrow tonight

As Procol Harum prepare to play their first gig on American soil for seven years, 'Beyond the Pale' looks forward to publishing all fans' photos, reviews, and reminiscences. Our reports have necessarily had a rather European bias for the past seven years, so this is a welcome chance for our US readers to redress the balance!

Added, therefore, a helpful page about the best way to send your stuff in to us, for speedy inclusion on the website
