Several people have asked which of the Tansads are involved in the gigs - so here is what is happening so far:
We have a core of 8 members currently in rehearsals:
Janet and Andrew are on vocals
John is on guitar
Bob is on a variety of instruments including mandolin, guitar and gob iron
Ed is playing guitar
Lee is on keyboards
Robbie is playing bass
Phill Knight is on drums
so pretty much a classic Tansads line up covering the first 4 albums
In addition I have been in contact with:
Shrub, keyboards
Cudo, percussion and keyboards
Bug (Doctor Chris Atherton), Drums
Guy, Drums
Dom, Accordian, trumpet etc
Tony Spoons, er spoons
all of whom have expressed an interest in making some sort of appearance during the festivities if possible.
We are also being helped out by
Simon - who has provided some new graphics and hopefully will do some other merchandise such as t-shirts.
Terry, roadie and lighting
Steve, original sound recordings - now a video specialist
Oz, merchandise
and I get to do some running around, organising and stuff so that i can hang out with the cool guys in the band again.
The gang's all here.
I have also been asked about the 2 different sets:
The plan for the sets is to have a core of songs that are absolutely crucial and would be the same both nights as it wouldn't be a Tansads gig without them but then to have the majority of songs different on the two nights.
