“BLOODY WELL BACK!” Reunion Tour October/November 2018

Internationally-acclaimed cult band The Whisky Priests, from County Durham,
England, are reuniting in 2018 to perform what will be the band’s first official
live shows since 2004, and to release a retrospective Complete Recordings
12-CD box set (containing all the band’s official studio & live releases,
covering a 15-year period from 1985-2000, as well as an extensive collection
of demos and other rarities), to celebrate the band’s unique career.
Founded in 1985 by twin brothers Gary & Glenn Miller, The Whisky Priests
became one of the leading pioneers and finest exponents of the ‘folk-punkrock’
genre. Their music and visual image proved hugely influential and
spawned a host of similar bands worldwide. The Whisky Priests are now
regarded by many as ‘Godfathers’ of their genre. The band released a string
of internationally acclaimed albums but was particularly renowned worldwide,
and in constant demand, for its incredible live shows, touring extensively and
taking in 1250+ concerts in over 20 countries, including many festival
performances, TV and live radio sessions.
Now, they’re “Bloody Well Back!” to complete some “Unfinished Business”!
The reunion line-up features all-original members from the band’s peak
period, including the nucleus of Gary Miller, Glenn Miller and Mick Tyas : -
