Music & Promo NEWS - September 2011

The Undertones are back. John O’Neill – Guitar, Damian O’Neill – Guitar, Paul McLoone – Vocals and Michael Bradley – Bass celebrate their 35th Anniversary following the heavy demand for tickets for their April 2011 live shows with more shows scheduled for December 2011. Like the April shows they will play their debut album, ‘The Undertones’, in its entirety and appeal for members of their original fan club to get in touch. Exluding those who took up the offer in April, the band have promised the first 50 who get in touch free entry into a show of their choice, a copy of ‘The Very Best Of The Undertones’ and a tour t-shirt. They should contact the band via at: andy@theundertones.com
