SUMMARY:ALAN REED and THE DAUGHTERS OF EXPEDIENCY
LOCATION:London 229
DESCRIPTION:with support from HATS OFF GENTLEMEN IT'S ADEQUATE - Alan Reed
  is a man in a hurry.Despite having been diagnosed with Parkinson’s in l
 ate March 2025\, he’s determined to get ‘out there’ as much as possi
 ble - until he can’t.To that end he’s bringing his band\, The Daughter
 s of Expediency\, to a venue near you.He has an album to promote - ‘Grey
  Sky Thinking’.In a nod to Pallas - the band he’s now rejoined - they 
 intend to play at least 45 % of tracks by them. Though they will make them
  their own. Alan also has both ‘The Messenger’ and ‘Elemental’ (du
 e some time before Christmas ) to promote\, as well as a boxed set of the 
 Inside Out Years.Alan’s history is a history of Brit Prog itself. First 
 coming to prominence with Glasgow’s own Abel Ganz (recording Gratuitous 
 Flash with them) before joining Pallas in mid 84.He recorded The Kightmove
 s EP (featuring his first work with the band - the epic Sanctuary)\, and T
 he Wedge LP for EMI. A punishing gig schedule saw Pallas become one of the
  tightest acts imaginable\, with a legendary status to match.A period in t
 he wilderness followed\, but a CD re-release of the album saw the band fro
 m Aberdeen pick up for some ‘unfinished business’. This culminated in 
 another purple patch of releases via Inside Out. Notably Beat The Drum\, T
 he Cross and The Crucible\, and The Dreams of Men. The final recorded work
  of the band was Moment to Moment\, which covered the band’s earliest ye
 ars (as well as the then present) at a gig in Poland.Alan was dropped from
  the band in 2010\, and after considering his future with or without music
 \, decided to dip his toe in the water.The result was the Dancing With Gho
 sts EP \, that saw him hook up with Mark Spencer (Twelfth Night/Galahad) a
 nd Jennifer Clark (Horse) who formed the nucleus of The Daughters of Exped
 iency.They were soon joined by Henry Rogers (Drums - Mostly Autumn)\, awar
 d-winning Tudor Davies (keys)\, and Daren Callow on lead guitar.Gigs follo
 wed in support of solo albums First In A Field Of One\, and Honey On The R
 azor’s Edge. His third album\, Grey Sky Thinking\, will be available at 
 the gigs. As will The Messenger and Elemental. The two Pallas albums he’
 s been on since rejoining them shortly before moving back to Scotland in 2
 022.This marks a turning point for Alan and the band. Having been diagnose
 d with Parkinson’s\, this may be the last chance to see him\, as he’s 
 already lost the use of his right hand and doesn’t know whether he’ll 
 be up to gigging in future. To this end he’s taken on Neil Winton - who
 ’ll play his parts on guitar. And Sunny\, who’s all over the album wit
 h her distinctive backing vocals.Rumour has it that Alan will be joined on
 stage at Veruno by two members of Pallas. They are planning a mini- set. T
 his will be the final time they play together.Support comes from HATS OFF 
 GENTLEMEN IT’S ADEQUATE\, who combine prog/alt/art-rock\, with contempor
 ary classical\, minimalist\, metal and electronic elements. They often exp
 lore scientific and science fiction themes. In 2025 they have released the
 ir critically acclaimed 8th album\, 'The Uncertainty Principle'. “Spiky 
 neo-prog and art-rock. Never less than entertaining\, passionate\, humorou
 s and committed” – Prog Magazine\n\nBoletos: https://wegottickets.com/
