Lads you can’t stop now, you’ve put life back into music. Looking forward to another Tour Date!!
Dundalk was unbelievable.

Best of luck

I agree with you Derrymanc - TPE’s legacy is always tinged with the “underachievement” word; I guess all I meant that it would be good if they got the recognition they deserve this time around; but - you’re right - if they don’t then f**k it, they made a difference to my life and that’s good enough for me…

Is there any chance that the gigs were recorded by the band and if so would there be any possibility that the gigs might be made available on this site? I’m sure a lot of people who were at the gigs, and those who were not, would be very interested. And don’t leave it so long to gig again either!

Well, I missed it all too but I too hope to relive the good old days with some live gigs I can attend too in the near future (yep, I’ve got a family now too:-)).

I think however it’s sad in a way that the TPE legacy is always tinged with how big they “should” have been - bollox to that - their music and gigs affected many people’s lives and surely that is what music is about -should we all spend the rest of our lives wondering how many more people we could have affected to make our lives meaningful?? Those who’ve missed out have lost out.

Big up yourselve TPE - a great sound that will always have meaning in my life.

I haven’t yet said thankyou, thankyou, THANKYOU!
To That Petrol Emotion, firstly for doing this, then for not only meeting, but surpassing my hopes and dreams.
To everyone I met and talked to, who without exception were so friendly and lovely, and made last week the most amazing experience.
So -
when can we do it all again?!

All this talk of people seeing you live is making me very envious. I wasn’t able to go to any of the gigs, but I consider myself a huge fan - I used to travel around the country to see you live back in the day, and was there at the clapham grand all those years ago….
just another plea, really, for you to not make these the last gigs - life’s too short and you’re too good for you not to carry on now…
you never got where you should have got to first time round, but you deserve to be massive this time round…
good luck

Gig at electric picnic was superb. I thought Grace Jones was great too.
Got my picture taken with the Japanese fans-they said they now feel like celebrities.
Irish comedian Karl Spain was also down the front-the girlfriend asked him if he still has the woman-he has!
The Dundalk gig was just slightly better for incuding ‘Sweet Shiver Burn’.
There must have been 30 people from Omagh at the EP gig-only band everybody still likes-weird.
Big Decision @ EP is up on youtube but not great quality.
