To celebrate tens years of the current core line-up of Praying Mantis the
band decided to hold an invite only party (Hence I didn't put it in the news
page, sorry).

Gerrie Lemmens Reunion Shots

These pictures were taken by Gerrie Lemmens from Voerendaal in Holland. I was
very pleased with them hence I am showing you so many.

The Reunion of the 1980 Line up in 1999

Paddy Goes To Hollyhead\Praying Mantis – 26 July 1999 – Shebeen, Acton,
London

_{Reunion Line up in Action}
These are my personal observations of the London date of the tour. They are
very subjective so probably worthless but I am happy to share them with you.
I hope someone else who went to a gig will write a review for me. It doesn’t
matter if you English is poor. Mine is terrible!

98 Tour Reports

The following pictures are from July and August 1998′s Articles on Praying
Mantis in Ho-no-o. There was an interview with Chris in July and a 20 page set
of Articles in August. If anyone reading Japanese and English would care to
translate them for me I would be extremely grateful.

The Mantis Cup is a football match held each tour between the Band and the

Praying Mantis – Royal Standard (Walthamstow – London)- 25th
Oct 1995 by Georgios
Sidiropoulos

Georgios has some
Greek Metal Hammer Pages

I have seen Praying Mantis in Royal Standard (Walthamstow – London) on the 25th
of October 1995, after an unsuccessful attempt to watch them, a mare 4(?) days
prior to this gig, playing in an elusive far away-exotic place in Acton that no
cab driver or any one local to the area didn’t know about. We could not find,
this place even though we were going around and around, and we were also asking
all the local people we could meet Praying Mantis in Royal Standard (Walthamstow
- London) on the 25th of October 1995t, in order to get some information.(The
Troy brothers told me later that this gig never took place, anyway!).
