Well here’s your chance then… The Phantom Band are back on the road this autumn with a UK tour. Following on from the gigs around the release of their third album ‘Strange Friend’ the band have confirmed an additional ten dates with more to be announced soon.
‘Strange Friend’ has rightfully been enjoying plaudits from far and wide. I think we can let the praise speak for itself. All you need to do now is come along and see them…
