A52s release new EP
Posted in A52s, Music on Friday December 23, 2016| Leave a Comment »
Parwich’s own A52s latest EP is now available to download, on their Facebook page they say:
So, here is the deal…
We’ve just released an EP on iTunes and other digital media called “The Flood”. The title track of the EP tells the story of refugees running from persecution. Now we know that this issue can be complicated but a frightened child is a child who needs help; right?
Anyway in an attempt to do something, however small, to help; we’ve decided to donate all proceeds from downloads of this track before the end of the year to our good friends at Derbyshire Refugee Solidarity who will be able to do something good with it.
So please, please… get downloading, and let’s see how much we can raise. Like and share as you do so we can all see how it is going.
Over to you.

I hope our own A52s don’t mind that we have brazenly lifted the following from their Facebook page:
The band is playing on home territory this Saturday (2nd July). Parwich Wakes is starting and a week of fun is about to start!
We will be playing on The Green starting around 9pm. For one night only we will be joined by guest drummer Alex Martin. Here’s a moody promo pic so you can see just what a cool bunch we are.
Hope to see you there!

Look out for an exciting upcoming live event at the Memorial Hall on Thursday 11th of February with music from the Oxford Concert Party. They describe themselves as “Europe’s only Baroque and Tango Orchestra!” and the Daily Telegraph says of them “A decidedly unstuffy bunch of superb musicians … Look out for them whenever your spirits need a lift”. Here are a couple of clips from their YouTube channel which give a feeling for what we can expect:
