January 2011 The Omega
Syndicate will be stepping down from live performance at
Restoration 2, the music will continue in the studio but not
on stage.
As a thank you to all who
have followed our live exploits over the years, in addition to
our usual "Limited Edition" which will be available
on the night, there is also a FREE album to ticket purchasers
only. This features the rehearsal (although more of an
equipment check really) for the St. John the Baptist gig in
2007. The versions of the pieces on this disc are EXCLUSIVE to
this release & are very different in places to any other
versions, they have been cleaned up, but the odd
"fluffs" have not been removed as these were never
intended for release. So come along, say hello, or goodbye, or
both & see what promises to be "something
special".
The FREE CD is only available to ticket purchasers, it is not
for sale through us. The event organisers have put a lot of
effort into this & we were asked to play, but the event
needs a PA system, lighting etc. All this costs, so to help
out, this disc was produced. If you want a disc you must buy a
ticket, if you can't attend, that's fine but there will be a
small fee to send the disc out otherwise the money from the
ticket purchase is eaten into by the postage to send the disc
out.
Tickets £6 from:

'In this global time of financial insecurity &
subsequent penny-pinching... The Omega Syndicate have released
another album.
"What's this one going to cost me?" I hear you
ask... The price?...
A visit to The Omega Syndicate website.
A few clicks of your mouse will get you 55 minutes of new
(except for one), previously unreleased music, plus artwork if
you wish to put it on a CDR.
We've given stuff away in the past, because our fans give us
so much in return, so put your money to better use this
Christmas & enjoy something that has no hint of "Band
Aid", "Shaking Stevens" or "Cliff
Richards" on it.
While you're on the site, feel free to sign our Guest Book.
Thank You for your continuing support.
Happy New Year folks!'
