Sadly, Dan Treacy suffered a serious brain injury in 2011, which left him unable to perform his music. In recent years though, a collective of Dan’s band-mates from the ‘TVPs’, notably long-term members Dave Musker (Jasmine Minks), Jowe Head (Swell Maps) and Jeff Bloom, have been continuing to perform these superb pop songs, with the full encouragement of Dan. They are often joined at these shows by special guests: generally fellow musicians who are fans, and also band-mates from previous versions of the band.
These shows are always anticipated with great excitement by long-term TVPs fans, many of whom travel from far and wide to enjoy the TVPs material performed by this current incarnation of the band.
