Cross Talk

The Pretty Things, led by founding vocalist & guitarist Phil May & Dick Taylor, are iconic 1st wave R&B cult heroes who created some of the most exciting & innovative records of the sixties, early seventies & beyond. Winners of the very first Mojo Hero Award, the band have been a massive success & a huge influence on artists as diverse as David Bowie, The Ramones, Bob Dylan, The Sex Pistols, The White Stripes & many more. The band burst onto the scene in 1965 with a blend of raw, explosive R&B. Over the course of several albums, they evolved their sound, highlighted by the release of the first ever rock opera S.F. Sorrow. They followed this with a string of albums which secured the band a firm & loyal fanbase. Cross Talk was to be the triumphant return of the Pretty Things. The band had been dormant for more than three years, but in 1979 Phil May & Pete Tolson started writing together again
