‘British Sea Power? are to start their UK tour in Scilly.

A spokesperson for the band said: “British Sea Power feel that The Scilly Isles have simply not had a Fair Deal. Since the pioneering initiatives of Jethro Tull, Echo And The Bunnymen and The Krankies, every makeweight has popped up to the Scottish Isles to play and perform. In stark contrast The Scillies has been starved of inspirational rock music.”

It’s good to get some recognition – at last!

The alternative/indie band will be playing at the Scillonian Club on Friday 9 May.

Coincidentally, this is the same day that the Duke of Kent makes a visit to the Islands’ lifeboat station.
