With hits including ‘Making Plans for Nigel’, ‘Senses Working Overtime’, and ‘Sgt Rock (Is Going to Help Me)’, XTC was one of the UK's most exciting and influential bands. But as the band's success snowballed and the tours grew, XTC main man Andy Partridge pulled the plug on touring.
‘For me being in a band is all about playing live…when we came off the road I thought ‘how are we going to promote ourselves?’ I felt the songs on our last three albums (Drums and Wires, Black Sea, and English Settlement) were great, and we were really playing well. But I didn't think the new material was heading in the right direction and, of course, we weren't going to be playing the songs live.’
Terry Chambers, XTC drummerEnough was enough, and Terry upped sticks and emigrated to Australia where he remained with his family for the next three decades, leaving his drum kit gathering dust. That all changed in 2016 when Terry visited the UK and reconnected with XTC bandmate, Colin Moulding where they decided to collaborate on a new musical venture called TC&I. Sadly the venture was short lived, leaving Terry with no outlet for his rekindled passion. A lifeline came in the form of Steve Tilling - TC&I's guitarist and EXTC frontman – and EXTC was born, a band that honoured XTC's legacy while introducing new material of their own.
Terry and EXTC are bringing a full set of classic XTC songs to the Music Room. Already, the band has stormed through prestigious shows, including headline appearances at the Isle of Wight Festival, and for the ultimate stamp of approval, the band comes with the blessing and support of XTC leader, Andy Partridge.
