Recorded at Abbey Road studios, they’re promoting it at a sold-out show in London’s Green Room on the 23rd September, and you can buy a signed copy of the album here. They’re also playing a gig at Nottingham Greyfriars on the 17th September – details on Facebook here.
Tony thinks he’s no longer in the Pogue Traders, but he does have a habit of coming back to fill in when he’s needed so we’re still treating him as part of the family.
