Title: Dando Shaft
Post by: davidmjs on October 08, 2009, 09:05:28 AM
Hi Kevin..

Just wondered if there is ever a chance of this much underrated "legendary accoustic folk swing band" ever treading the boards again?

Oh, and whether you have a stash of Lantaloon posters stuck under the bed?

 ;)

Hi ???,

I don't think there is much chance now of Dando ever getting together again. There are a lot of things that would make it almost impossible. Geography for one, some people no longer play and haven't done for years and then there's learning all the stuff again. I really don't think it will happen, but who knows............. We did get basck together in 1989 to play in Italy and to record an Album 'Shadows Across The Moon' and a couple of years later we went back and toured Italy and did a home town gig in Coventry, which was lovely. There is a DVD of that around you check out the Dando web site.
And no I don't haver any Lantaloon posters, I wish I did there going for a lot of money.
Thanks for that
kevin

Thanks for that, Kevin...no idea how the 1989 reunion passed me by, but pass me by it did.  Another one for the 'regrets, I've had a few' pile  ;)
