Underground Press Legend Goes Sonic

About Me

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. 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? See www.booksmusicfilmstv.com, or send what you want reviewed to: booksmusicfilmstv.com, 17 Farrow Road, Whaplode Drove, Spalding, Lincs, PE12 0TS, U.K. Press packs welcome.


GREEN VIBRATIONS - an e-group for people interested in animal rights/welfare, and environmental issues.
