police squad Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 I can't find out who is in his touring band for this tour. Any ideas Quote
AndyTravis Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 If PP is on board I’ll buy tickets without a doubt 😉 Quote

AndyTravis Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 In fairness if he’s passing through Manchester with the tour I’ll probably go anyhow, love that album 1 Quote

Lozz196 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Here`s to hoping the "modern" sound-person doesn`t add in a huge kick-drum sound to the mix. With bass-lines/playing like PPs would be a great shame to trample all over that with this modern phenomenon. 2 Quote

12stringbassist Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 How is his voice these days? I heard he had real trouble singing a few years ago. Not knocking him. Genuine concern. Quote

Genuine concern. A friend of mine saw him in Brighton recently, it was not great apparently. Such a shame, it was a great voice. Quote
Roger2611 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Showing my age here, I was lucky enough to see the original tour when he stopped in at the Derngate Centre in Northampton, from what I can remember he destroyed his voice doing the duet with Clanned for the track Both Sides Now where apparently he sang whilst suffering horrendous laringitis, I saw him a couple of times after the No Parlez tour and sadly his voice was never the same, I always had sympathy for the bass player though as, the elephant in the room was always.....yeah but he ain't no Pino!

Me too. Back then he had one of the best and most distinctive voices of the generation. Recent years I have seen his little band Los Pacaminos several times and his voice is totally shot to bits. In the context of the Los Pacaminos band it actually works to his advantage that he does a gravelly talk and no singing (Jamie Moses is the star turn of the band, which are fantastic) but sadly I would think he would be cringeworthily embarrassing attempting all his earlier stuff nowdays.

TheGreek Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 I used to work with Jack Irving, brother of Matty and great drummer in his own right - he played with Lord Sutch for many years.... Quote

And me. Saw him and the band at Warwick University - between the time of the tickets being announced he appeared on The Tube and by the time the gig came around he was a pop star! He and the band were great. Quote

Went to the Derngate gig, I’m pretty sure the support act was called Strawberry Switchblade. 1 Quote
ezbass Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 I forgot to mention earlier that I saw the original No Parlez tour in the ‘80s, at the Lyceum in London. PY was brilliant as was the tall Welshman on the bass - good times. Quote
NancyJohnson Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 I never actually saw the talent or the appeal; I had mate who just loved him. For me, it just seemed to me that you'd turn on the TV, there he was wheezing his way through Come Back and Stay or Love of the Common People. On the strength of this thread, I decided to look him up on You Tube. The footage below isn't that pretty and it's something he should be able to sing while gargling TCP and it's only from a few months back, so if anyone is buying tickets, caveat emptor. Quote
