SINGING IN THE AIR
During March and April those who flew by Delta Airlines had a unique opportuinity to listen to an exclusive audio program recorded by Peter Frampton, who paid tribute to his sadly missed friend George Harrison. The program featured George’s songs both solo and with THE BEATLES.
MAN OF GOOD FORTUNE
Luciano Pavarotti is keen on finding the unlikeliest artists for his international pop performances yet this year’s choice sees the most curious collaboration to date. On May 28th in Modena, Italy the magic tenor will be joined by the grimy prince, Lou Reed, as well as Andrea Bocelli, Grace Jones, Sting and others.
ACOUSTIC CHALLENGE
At last, the unplugged album that PENDRAGON talked aboutabout is out. It’s called “Acoustically Challenged” and was recorded at Radio 3 Warsaw, Poland during the 2001’s "Not Of This World" tour. There is bonus multimedia section on the CD including live footage and pictures, interview with vocalist / guitarist Nick Barrett and his notes of the recording. It should be noted that drummer Fudge Smith didn’t join his colleagues for the acoustic set comprised of:
 |
1. And We’ll Go Hunting Deer 2. Fallen Dreams And Angels 3. A Man Of Nomadic Traits 4. World’s End 5. The Voyager 6. Alaska 7. The Pursuit Of Excellence 8. 2 AM 9. Dark Summer’s Day 10. Unspoken Words |
The last track is taken from Peter Gee’s debut album “Heart Of David” still pending for re-release.
Hardcore PENDRAGON fans – the Mob, that is – would like to get a hold of another product from the band. Together with the CD, at the foursome upcoming shows available will be a DVD titled “Live… At Last And More”, hailing from Poland as well but the year was 1996 and the tour was promoting the "The Masquerade Overture" album.
