PENDRAGON Going, going.............soon be gone!
The First 40 Years Book/CD set
It's selling fast, so rather than be disappointed make sure you pre-order your copy soon!
We're expecting to start shipping the book at the end of September, we've spoken to the printing/pressing plant, all seems to be going according to plan so far and we're all excited to see the collectors commemorative book complete with 5 CD's very soon. It's the completion of 2 years work and remembers the history of the band over 40 years bringing you bang up to date ready for the launch of Love Over Fear early in 2020.
The book comprises....
Approximately 11inch square (just slightly smaller than a vinyl sleeve) this 32 page hard back book is truly a celebration of Pendragon from 1978 to the current day. Cover artwork from Simon Williams (The World/Window of Life/Masquerade Overture etc) incorporating images throughout the history of the band in his very own recognisable style, inside there is 32 glossy pages of photo memories throughout the years, a few words from Nick, Peter, Clive and Vinnie and of course 5 CDs.
The discs are -
Live at London -
3 discs from last November's sold out 40th Anniversary show at 229 The Venue. The London show featured a return to the Pendragon drum stool for Nigel Harris to perform some of the early songs plus some saxophone from original and co-founding member Julian Baker
When mixing the live discs Karl Groom (Thin Ice Studio) said that this is one of the best recorded live gig atmospheres he's ever heard, and we think you'll agree that's it's really very special indeed.

Love Over Fear - New album due February 2020
Whilst we've been completing the First 40 Years book we've also been full steam ahead with Love Over Fear.
Peter visited our Cornwall base a couple of weeks ago to finish his bass tracks, Nick's almost finished the vocals now and Zoe will be at HQ to do some BV's and violin parts this coming weekend!
The stunningly talented Liz Saddington has finished the paintings that will become the cover and much of the interior book for Love Over Fear - a year in the planning, sketching and painting - Nick and Liz celebrated the completion with some buns!
Tickets are selling fast for the Love Over Fear shows, there will be a few more "sold out" notices when we next send out a mail-out!
There is much talk on social Media about bands cancelling and postponing tours due to the political issues in the UK, rest assured, we fully intend to do this tour but it's more important than ever for you to buy tickets in advance if at all possible. This helps you from missing out and helps us immensely in the planning of such a big European tour!
