Anybody know what the current situation on these guys is? I know they did a gig at the Snooty fox about two years ago! Anyone?

I was at the gig at The Snooty and thoroughly enjoyed it! Haven't heard a peep about them since though!

I saw 2 songs of that gig at the Snooty, hadnt a clue who they were at the time...

Was never that impressed with Toranaga. Only ever bought God's Gift and saw them on that tour at the Edinburgh Venue. Always thought they were a bit too slow to be considered an out and out thrash band

Yeah, they were never really a thrash band. But if you take away the expectation of speed they wrote some mighty fine songs. I'd also be interested to see what's up with them if nayone knows. Havne't seen them play for a looooong time.

Well that's a bugger and a great shame. I love both their albums and have managed to get an old news letter, a promo photo, T-shirt and some video footage (about 2-3 hours worth). This video includes the Fleetwood mac/judas priest ,green manalishi (spelt incorrectly?)song. Oh and a toranaga patch too! Bloody great band in my opinion. Toranaga R.I.P

me and a mate bumped into the drummer on gods gift about 4 years ago in a pub in wellingborough. i don't think he was playing anymore, but the other posts here suggest otherwise

As a new member, which other bands etc has the drummer been involved in?

It was interesting to see them completely by chance that time in the snooty

'Bastard Ballads' is an awesome release... a sadly underated band.

I saw Bastard's Ballads in the record shop the other day for about a fiver, is it worth picking up?
