The Chords UK 'So Far Away' 45th Anniversary

THE CHORDS UK

'So Far Away' 45th Anniversary Tour

\+ special guests: THE CIRCLES

The Chords formed in 1978 in South East London. One of the key bands of the 'Mod Revival' scene sweeping the UK around that time, The Chords had two singles in the UK charts - 'Now It's Gone' and 'Maybe Tomorrow' - before they released their debut album 'So Far Away' in January 1980.

The Chords UK, fronted by main songwriter of the Chords Chris Pope, will perform this classic album in it's entirety along with more classics to celebrate the 45th anniversary.

The Circles are a mod revival band from the West Midlands. Formed in May, 1979. They released their debut single ‘Opening Up’ on Graduate Records (the same label as UB40) in 1979. It reached #3 on the indie charts and over the years has achieved cult status.

Like many of the mod revival bands of ‘79 The Circles never released an album and after another promising single on the Vertigo label ‘Angry Voices’ (which went to sell some 20,000 copies) they decided to call it a day in late 1980.
