Shameless plug alert:

As part of their reunion celbrations Ran Tan Band are re-issuing their first recording "THE BIG CHEESE" on CD format in time for Towersey Festival. However you can pre-order at the discount price of £10 (usuallly £12) on the website:
http://www.rantanband.co.uk/index.html

This price includes p & p.

Here's how it was first received:

"They draw tones from various countries, write some pretty neat ones of their own and put a consistently inventive slant on them. This is sharp, fresh music that makes you feel like dancing." Nick Beale fROOTS.

Order your copy now to avoid the rush!

I am sure tones ARE drawn ... but should that be tunes ??? :-)

Yes but in my defence I just copied and pasted. All the other typos are mine however.

It's a lovely album. I received a (hand coloured) cassette of it many years ago. I can't remember the year but it was just before a Sidmouth Festival and I listened extra carefully as I was calling a dance with them at that festival.

You stand exonerated Martin - it's all fRoots' fault obviously (grin). Looking forward to getting my copy!

Hi sfmans (how do you pronounce that?)
We thought we'd just hand out the cheese first and see who nibbles.
We're saving Rainy Day for a rainy day.

Hi sfmans (how do you pronounce that?)

Er, um, ess-eff-manz I suppose - it was my very first email address on a Netscape email server that only allowed 8-character IDs, and it's just followed me around ever since ... people also have trouble with my other online ID and domain name (lesession / www.lesession.co.uk), so I guess I just have a rather self-defeating knack for choosing aliases that people can't pronounce!

We thought we'd just hand out the cheese first and see who nibbles.
We're saving Rainy Day for a rainy day.

Eek eek!
