Thanks for that Matt.  I’ve forwarded this on to a mate who I know will be delighted!

 

I look forward to the Valentine’s Day Massacre.  Always fun!

My apologies to those who aren’t interested, but I remember that The Godfathers were discussed briefly some years back. I got this this morning:

 

London, October 3rd, 2007

Hi there, I'm The Godfathers' manager and here is some news you may be
interested in: 

The Godfathers are reuniting their original line-up to reissue an
expanded 21st anniversary edition of their debut album Hit By Hit on
January 10th, which has been repackaged to include 19 extra tracks. 
Selected headline shows and festival dates to promote this will
include their traditional Valentines’ Day Massacre concert at a major
London venue in 2008.

THE GODFATHERS are:

Peter Coyne â€" vocals
Chris Coyne â€" bass guitar & vocals
Mike Gibson â€" guitars & vocals
Kris Dollimore â€" guitars & vocals
George Mazur â€" drums, percussion & vocals

After 19 years away from the world’s stage the original classic
line-up of The Godfathers is reforming to play some selected dates to
promote the reissue of their seminal debut album ‘Hit By Hit’. The
influential 80s band were regarded as the finest exponents of
Brit-based rock ‘n’ roll and were unanimously hailed as one of the
finest live acts in the world.
The Hit By Hit album comprises all the single recordings from the
band’s early career on their own independent label Corporate Image,
augmented with studio and live extra tracks culled from international
live shows and BBC Radio One Sessions.

HIT BY HIT (+ EXTRAS)

Newly compiled double CD album containing all the original Corporate
Image early singles: Lonely Man, This Damn Nation, I Want Everything,
Love Is Dead as well as b-sides and extra tracks including
instrumentals John Barry and Gone To Texas plus their ultimate cover
of John Lennon’s Cold Turkey and an inspired rendition of Rolf Harris’
Sun Arise. 
Paired with a full CD of previously unreleased extra tracks from The
Godfathers' seminal BBC Radio One Sessions and live recordings around
the world, the package boasts previously unseen pictures and liner
notes by frontman Peter Coyne and long time fan Paolo Gandolfi.
