1) Pressgang is a British folk-rock/alt-folk band formed in Reading in 1985.
2) Pressgang was a 90s American hardcore/punk band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
1) Pressgang is a British folk-rock/alt-folk band formed in Reading in 1985 featuring Damian Clarke (vocals, guitar, Hurdy Gurdy), George Whitfield (vocals, accordion, whistle), and Ian Munt, and subsequently Tony Lyons, (vocals, drums) and Cliff Eastabrook (vocals, bass guitar).
After a short spell as “Bedlam”, and being advised on air by DJ John Peel on his radio programme to change name, the band settled on PressGang as a name to suit their fast-paced re-writes of traditional British and Irish folk songs.
The band released their first album “Rogues!” on vinyl in 1989, after a single “Watch the Wall”.
A tour led to personnel changes and a two-years hiatus, until Neil Carter and John Forrester joined from the band The Colour Mary.
Signed to Reading-based label Cat Records, the band recorded “Burning Boats” (1994) and Fire! (1995).
The next album, "Mappa Mundi" (1997), on TWAH!, was a chronicle of band life on the road.
Another bass/drum change followed, with Miranda Sykes (also of Show of Hands) and Maclaine Colston joining. The next CD (Dancing in our Dreams) was again influenced by live performances and touring adventures.
Another touring hiatus took place from 1999 to 2003. The band continues to perform.

These two men are comic geniuses. They will never be forgotten.

Nobody in the history of film could look directly into the camera better than Oliver Norvell Hardy.
Monique Roldan

An absolute pioneering master when it came to breaking the fourth wall in cinematic acting
. Laurel was well aware how good an actor Hardy was.
Kevin Miller
And thirty years later Alan Hale, Jr would do the same thing when he was on Gilligan's Island, especially when he had to put up with Gilligan.
Tysknaden
He would have been perfect for Ingmar Bergman.
Odd Job
Greatest comedy duo ever.
Can you imagine what it was like watching these two in the cinema all those years ago?
They made us laugh till we cried.
They really were the King's of Comedy.
