Three Pressed Men was formed in 1995. Our first gig was on Fri 4th August at The Coach & Horses, East Challow (now sadly closed). We’ve played a few gigs every year since then – until 2020! The difficulties and restrictions resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic put paid to everything we had in our diary. However, we couldn’t let this milestone pass unmarked. By the summer, the restrictions had eased enough to meet outdoors, and so we started rehearsing again, weather permitting. At the end of July, just as an experiment, we tried recording ourselves. It went OK …
And so, 25 years later, to the day, we sat in front of a video camera, in Dick’s garden on the western edge of Oxford, and recorded some of our current favourite tunes and songs. You can see the results on YouTube.
