One to book for Pressure Drop Paddy?
Next year is the 30th Anniversary of Dexy's Midnight Runners first album Searching For The Young Soul Rebels. To this day it is still highly ranked as an all time great.
With that in mind, our 12 piece outfit, Dexys Bootleg Runners, are planning to tour as many towns and cities, the length and breadth of Britain, and hopefully some in Europe, commemorating that brilliant album and re-enacting the brilliant material from it.
We will also be covering all the other material that Dexy's done around that time, including their B-Sides, Northern Soul covers and stuff that never got to press.
As an extra, we will also be adding on the usual favourites from Dexy's.
This year we have played some great venues, festivals, rallies and one off gigs.
We have impressed huge audiences, who couldn't believe how good we are, and how original we sound.
Ex-Dexy's keyboard player Micky Billingham, who made a guest appearance for us in the Midlands, described us as, 'Better than the original line-ups'.
Real Radio said, 'Absolutely brillaint. You must go and see them'.
We have been asked to play quite a few venues, festivals, rallies etc next year, but right now we want to try and hook up as many as we can, before we co-ordinate a plan of action.
If you are interested in lining us up at your venue/event, or know anyone who might, and have dates in mind, please let us know asap?
Cheers,
Oz - Dexys Bootleg Runners
