ALAN REED AND THE DAUGHTERS OF EXPEDIENCY
Alan Reed is a man in a hurry.
Despite having been diagnosed with Parkinson’s in late March 2025, he’s determined to get ‘out there’ as much as possible - until he can’t.
To that end he’s bringing his band, The Daughters of Expediency, to a venue near you.
He has an album to promote - ‘Grey Sky Thinking’.
In a nod to Pallas - the band he’s now rejoined - they intend to play at least 45 % of tracks by them. Though they will make them their own.
Alan also has both ‘The Messenger’ and ‘Elemental’ (due some time before Christmas ) to promote, as well as a boxed set of the Inside Out Years.
