June 30:

Added illustrations and artwork for a Procol-related tee-shirt so exclusive that only the performers have one (thanks Chris, thanks Spencer)

Added a page of pre-show pictures from the Kløften Festival (thanks, Thomas)

This page is not without interest to many fans of great songwriting. Non-British readers may find this helpful. See also here

Added a photograph here (thanks, Josh) and an 'AAA' stage-pass scan here (thanks, Franky)

June 27:

Added some photographs of Procol Harum's ninth Danish concert this year (thanks, Thomas)

June 22:

' ...Wish Me Well sticks out like a sore thumb here. A bluesy soulful rocker ...'

Added a scan of a ticket – here and here – that got very wet


June 20: RIP Clarence Clemons

Added another good page of pictures from a recent Italian Procol show

Following a discussion about sprouts, with the lyricist, we have altered the word 'crop' to 'club' here ... which change confers additional inauthenticity, if such a thing were possible, on this cover-version

Added another entertaining page of photographs from Copenhagen, Denmark, taken in January 2011 but with no immediate Procol Harum content at all (thanks, Unsteady Freddie)


Bloomsday: RIP Carl Gardner

' ... you're a fan, you belong in the audience ...'

And where were you having fun ten years ago?

June 11: Procol Harum play the Kløften Festival in two weeks' time

' ... that angst-ridden, tinged with melancholy, dripping with regret, lonely young man’s voice ...' 

Added a survey of 10 June 1967 from the Sydney Morning HeraldAWSoP is at its heart (thanks, Jaywick)


June 10:  

Added to the BtP online store a Procol Harum tee-shirt (in two different colours) that has not been available online before

June 8:

Added a link to a page that we feel confident Procol fans will approve of: a redesigned download-shop with much-improved facilities for payment (thanks, Andy)

Please note that the previous download shop – whose paying function caused occasional problems – will cease to function in a few days' time

Please also note that these download shops are not owned, nor run, by 'Beyond the Pale': we merely provide the links thereto.
