Spotted this from the BBC Press Office today… “Also coming up in 2023, BBC Two continues its Reel Stories series with Reel Stories: Pet Shop Boys. BBC Radio 2’s Dermot O’Leary invites Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe to join him in a London cinema and relive some of the pivotal moments from their career ...

The atmosphere at last night’s Hull gig was incredible. Having seen the boys in Manchester and London a couple of weeks ago, it was great to see them in my home city. The Hull crowd didn’t disappoint and certainly gave the audiences at the bigger gigs a run for their money! You could tell Neil and C...

Deleted due to inaccuracies! My apologies

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, so apologies if it has, but there’s an interesting comment from Neil RE: Sparks in The Word’s ‘Word in your Ear’ podcast, episode 170, from 2011. Long story short, Sparks had given an interview in Q Magazine where they’d basically said “There are actually...

Not YouTube, but a Twitter video... PSB songs ringing out across Hull from the bells of the city’s Minster.

The bells are being triggered wirelessly from a MIDI Keyboard.

Sorry, forgot to mention you can listen to it online! You’ve got to download and register for the free app though to hear the full interview. They’re on the Steve Power show, approx 24:30 in.

Neil and Chris were interviewed on http://www.wave105.com/ this afternoon - promoting the Bournemouth date of the tour as well as the new album. While chatting about the tour, Neil revealed that New York City Boy will not be in the set list and that it’s likely that You only tell me you love me when...

Running order at the event..

What did Neil do to Love comes quickly? :-D He came too quickly...! 😁 He forgot to play the keyboard intro and started singing instead. He realised the mistake when the music cut to the drum breakdown before the verse should have started. He covered it well though with a comment about it being a “s...

The first four chords (A minor , F Major, G Major and E7), when repeated in that order, are the same chord progression as the verses of Rent. The E7 is fairly unique in this case because following that standard progression you would normally expect the E chord to be an E minor. The last chord on the...

That's me in the video! Thank you for sharing it.

Here's me playing a bit of Go West on the same bells -

Well the lucky person at the front of today's queue got the very last signed item (vinyl). The staff in the shop were really apologetic and said demand yesterday had far exceeded expectations.

Stood waiting outside the shop now. There's around 20 people in the queue, so not quite as busy as yesterday - as to be expected! After reading the messages on here I've resigned myself to the fact there's no signed stuff left, so I'm just here for the experience now...! Travelled down from Hull thi...

I've got visions of Neil and Chris being held captive in a store room at the back of the shop and being forced to sign new items to keep up with demand. A modern day sweatshop.. Cue appalling pun about them becoming the Sweat Shop Boys...

Hi all, Just came across this little snippet of info on Twitter. http://philmarriott.net/dj-fresh-neil-tennant/ There's a 1 minute sound clip of DJ Fresh being interviewed where he talks about working with Neil recently, with a brief mention of him maybe doing a remix for PSB. The full interview is ...
