New From Colleen Green

It is an … Continue reading New From Colleen Green

Introducing >>> Poltergeist

On a day when Echo & The Bunnymen fanatic Barry-Sean is foremost in our thoughts, it seems somewhat appropriate to get details of a new musical venture from Bunnymen founder members Will Sergeant and Les Pattinson. Calling themselves Poltergeist, they are a kind of instrumental space-rock project and Sargeant rather cryptically says “We want to try and get away from the traditional band format of … Continue reading Introducing >>> Poltergeist
