if you're a Beta Band fan, of the earlier (and better..!) material, then mark THURS 22ND APRIL in your diary and get your ass down to Drakes for this....!

LONE PIGEON

The Lone Pigeon aka Gordon Anderson is a prolific multi-instrumentalist songwriter and artist who has released one worldwide critically acclaimed album, 'Concubine Rice'. Alongside this release he has amassed a multitude of homemade recordings, at one stage a reputed 300 tracks in one month. The Lone Pigeon played an integral role in the recording of the mythical five track demo which resulted in the signing to Regal / EMI of one of the most influential bands of recent times, The Beta Band.

An artist, poet, musician, traveler and believer, the LP is a complicated character but with his music he creates sublime melodies that can elicit the simplest emotions; tunes that will make you smile with joy or alternately weep in shared sorrow. You would have to be wooden not to care.

LP will be joined by fellow Fence twin sibling PIP DYLAN

[Dizzy Storm]

he is the long-lost original Beta Band member by the way....

Unless you've stumbled across one of two, fragmentary, home-made releases, the only examples of his 5000 compositions you might know are those he wrote as one of The Pigeons, who later became The Beta Band. You'd recognise his presence in songs like Dry The Rain and Dog's Got A Bone.
