Thursday
Pressgang
Damian, George, Tony and Cliff, the PRESSGANG line-up that toured together throughout Europe and the USA in the 1990s have returned with their latest CD album “OUTLANDISH”. This is their 7th album;
an album of nine mediaeval and traditional ballads, updated for a 21st century audience that wants to dress up, fling themselves around a gig and be entertained. If you think folk equals acoustic, think again and prepare yourself for the full Pressgang onslaught. This is an album that will appeal just as much, if not more, to a non folk audience. Oh... and this is a band that loves to welcome in audiences that dress up, often making it cheaper to get in when people turn up in pre-1900 clothing.
A folk band like no other, Pressgang take traditional songs into places that no other band dares to go. Classic organ and feedback sounds from an accordion, whirling dervish instrumentals, acapella singing and rapping are just a taste of the full ingredients. Add to this dancing, storytelling, drama and audience participation and you¹ll have an idea of the stage show that got them all over Europe and the USA without a major record label or management. It has to be seen to be believed and heard.
Pressgang are a genre-busting live show, bringing people with various tastes together in clubs and particularly at festivals where the band love to perform on stages where they continually dance around and whip up the atmosphere. Many of their songs are charged with social comment and perspectives on the historic life of the ordinary person. They have previously sung of the proud struggles, such as the tale of “Joseph Ward”, during the Civil War, the Chartists in “New South Wales” and the hopes and fears of sailors out in the furthest seas as in “The Bonny Ship the Diamond”. On “Outlandish” though, they have returned to first principles and put together a celebration of outsiders and revisited the tale of the “Gypsy Bride” and her return to “The Raggle Taggle Gypsies” where the album ends in a passionate diatribe against those who think they have the power to put us in our place and live mundane lives when there is so much out there to explore & enjoy.
