IAN Prowse is to reform his old band Pele for two shows this summer.
Ian, who is the front man for Ellesmere Port band Amsterdam, is reuniting the five
original members of Pele who enjoyed success in the nineties.
The original members will play together for the first time in 16 years this summer to
recreate those glorious shows between 1991-1995.
All five are getting together one more time to re-live those sweaty nights at the Royal
Court, Irish Centre, Adelphi Ballroom and Mountford Hall.
