Paul Rance/Sticky Banana/Peace & Freedom Band

Bio:

Luton-born Whaplode Drove recluse Paul Rance, founder of Peace & Freedom Press, and The Peace & Freedom Band, turns his veggie peace manifesto to some solo music offerings and collaborations with his old P&F Band buddies Andy Bruce, Angelo Gravity, and Andy Xport. The moody, enigmatic mystery that is Rance says: "I'll die trying to save the world, but I'm not trying to die - like so many others." Rance claims to be a lot angrier and disillusioned in his middle age, and has effectively turned his back on society, concentrating on animal welfare, environmental, and human rights issues, as well as his booksmusicfilmstv.com website, and Peace & Freedom Press. He's also interested in promoting ethical, creative people. Want a CD, book, DVD, video, etc. reviewed?
