Mystery Jets have announced the arrival of a new bass player, Jack Flanagan.
In a message to fans which also hints at new material being planned for an appearance at Transgressive Records’ 10th anniversary bash in London this evening (September 30th), singer Blaine Harrison reveals:
“Finally we have an exciting announcement to make; a new member of jets personnel who has been hiding away with us since we began work on Jets V late last year. We met Jack Flanagan on a wild night out in rainy soho and before he even plugged in his bass guitar, we knew he was destined to be a legend.”
“He looked and lived like a Mystery Jet. To mark his inauguration, Jack was invited to a feast at our spiritual HQ on Eel Pie Island and we introduced him to Henry, who played him a choice selection of Genesis and King Crimson records. On January 10th of this year, in a whirlwind of Prog rock and Tarka Dal, Jack officially became a jet.”
Others performing live at the Barbican tonight include Johnny Flynn and Marika Hackman.
