karlfer Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Last summer, after a few folk pestered them on Faecesbook, a short lived band from the early 80's reformed. Troyen. After a while, the original bassist couldn't commit. Fast forward to this Sunday, the 1st gig after 32 years, to launch their 1st CD, mainly old stuff but a couple penned in the last few months. This gig is also a free entry warm up to the first of the few festival gigs they have been asked to do (Brofest3 is the 1st at the end of Feb). Would be great if any from Basschat appeared, The Flying Shuttle, in Bury, on Sunday 1st February at 3pm. For the 1st time in years I'm bricking it.

philparker Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm surprised the Flying Shuttle is still open - it looks pretty run down these days and it's almost getting eaten up by an ever expanding shopping mall. Good luck with he gig - I hope they advertise it properly, I will let a few of my musician friends know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bouncer said since the nightclub had been demolished that side of the town is dead. Troyen chose it to re-debut because Glen is a great kid, good with the in house pa. In house pa means Troyen don't need to take one. If your muso pals do come, tell them not to expect too much, and thanks for the thought. Cheers, Karl.
