Formed originally as the house band for the legendary Stray’s Coffee Shop in Newark, P.R.S. have been playing since 2017 – so they needed a break…
They went into Mount Street Studios in Nottingham the day before LockDown in November 2020, not knowing whether there would be a civilisation to play for when they came out or whether Donald Trump would have crowned himself Emperor and outlawed jazz altogether…
Panic stricken they recorded 22 tracks in 6 hours. Further panic set in, when they listened to them back – the result is this 14 track CD. The 8 rejected tracks were the subject of a controlled explosion – those who heard the aforementioned tracks are in long term therapy…
The resulting CD consists of ‘first takes’ with on-the-spot arrangements. There were no take-2’s. Maybe there should have been. But life’s too short – playing live is what it’s all about. Isn’t it?”
