QuoteNow featuring TINYFISH, DEC BURKE, THE TANGENT + 2 ACTS TBA

It's called HOUSE OF PROGRESSIONS'S CELEBRATION FEST.

The fest is all about celebrating the bands who re launched Prog in the 80's & the bands that take it further today!

I wanted a Prog fest that did not compromise. No fillers all Killers.

Limited Early bird tickets will be on sale at The Peel's PALLAS show.
(£50.00 weekend early birds) Cash only on the Pallas show)

On line tickets on sale 27th FEB. Details very soon.

I am working on the curfew but please all understand I can't put these bands on at The Peel. Frost* taught me that with certain artists I have to think of the comfort of the most important people on the planet, you the audience!

Doors will be at 2.00pm. So if I Lose the curfew battle we'll still have over 7 hours or so of pure brilliant music!!

....and Sean Filkins has been added too.

It's at this place:

...which is located at the upper red circle in this map...

...and the lower red circle is the entrance to the very adjacent car park...

...which, while more expensive than the on-street parking at The Peel (free after 18:30, is it?) this is likely to be a tad more secure!

They've got a team that just offends youths? How do I sign up? I'll play left back and go "Kids of today..." a lot

It's exactly the same weekend as the Night Of The Prog VII festival in Germany. Not a good timing...

That's the weekend of my birthday so, even though I can't think of much better way to celebrate it, I can already sense the wyfe's feeling of aversion.

I work with Tony Wright and I'm sure he will be up there playing sax though!

JakeWorrell · January 31, 2012, 01:39:07 PM

Ticket office ?

As I understand it, Twang will sell early-bird weekend tix (£50) at the Pallas gig at The Peel (incentive to go to that I guess) and then normal price weekend tix (£70) online after that.
No idea about day tix yet.

I think day tickets are most certainly going to be available, but there are a few things that need to be sorted out first.

Yes, Roger. Get over here for this.
