THE RANTING LADS ARE BACK! - THE WHISKY PRIESTS REUNION


Great news! That's what Gary Miller posted yesterday on Facebook:

"Yes, it's finally official! The Whisky Priests will be reuniting for a series of exclusive shows in 2013, following a 10-year absence, and releasing a retrospective CD. Gary Miller, Glenn Miller, Mick Tyas, Nicky Buck and others from the band's peak period will finally be back on stage together better than ever before for what promises to be an exciting new era for the band. LOTS and LOTS more news on this (e.g. new website, festival dates, tour dates) to follow soon..."

And that's what he has posted today:

"I am very excited about working with my old friends Mick Tyas, Nicky Buck, etc, again after 10 years "in the wilderness". We are all confident that The Whisky Priests can come back better than ever. Rehearsals will start soon. In the meantime, I will be recording my new solo album, and I hope Mick, Nick and my brother Glenn will all be able to contribute to it (an early taster for the WP reunion!) as well as some other great musicians. In the meantime, I have been listening to Mick's band Tippin' the Wink's CD 'The Devil's In the Detail' - bloody brilliant! Nick's also on it playing percussion and it was recorded at Trinity Heights by the great Fred Purser (responsible for many Whisky Priests recordings). Check them out at:
