After spending most of the year writing songs for their next album, Pet Shop Boys are leaving the studio to perform three “Electric” concerts in Spain over the next week. On Friday they’ll be headlining the Festival Contempopranea at Badajoz. Two days later on Sunday June 7th, they’ll give the final performance of the three-day TresSesenta Festival in Pamplona. And the following night they’ll be performing at the Auditori Aire Lliure in Barcelona as part of the Festival Jardins Pedralbes. Links to all three can be found below.
In the latest issue of “Annually”, there’s a history of PSB in 20 objects found in the basement of our studio. Here are three that didn’t make it! Ivor Novello Awards for International Hit of the Year in both 1986 (“West End girls”) and 1987 (“It’s a sin”) and for Outstanding Contribution to British Music (presented in 2000). The awards are presented every year to recognise excellence in songwriting.
