Enterprise is Cancelled

This is a small post to

let you all know that

I've cancelled our upcoming show

At the Enterprise 

in Chalk Farm

that was previously advertised

to be taking place on

September 13th

In the meantime

Once again ...our most special thanks to 

Chiara Ambrosio

for taking these splendid photos of our gig last

Saturday.....

and including some great shots of 

Bird Radio,

who looked particularly at home

in front of our set, I thought...

Bread and Roses

Clapham

July 12th 2014 

 A new backdrop,,

some new songs

a new book

 a small but enthralled audience.....

A wonderful powerful

complimentary

performance

from

Bird Radio

This gig was mainly  memorable because

after our third song

the 'duty manager' asked us to turn the volume down

as we were disturbing the neighbours

who had threatened to call the police. 

The audience were wonderfully supportive of us 

as we struggled to make sense of this 

and so somehow we continued to the end

of a slightly quieter, slightly curtailed set...

Another venue we can never play in again!!

We are either too loud, too old, too young, too sweaty, too avant garde

or not avant garde enough!! We just cant win

and we dont care....

Also,

our big heartfelt thanks to those of you,

you noble souls

who chose to pay to watch us 

over the World Cup third place

play off game!!

Liver & Lights No. 52: Some Pages

 These are some pages from 

Liver & Lights No 52

Lord Biscuits Volvo 245 is Gone !

which we will be launching

on Saturday July 12th at

Bread & Roses, 

68 Clapham Manor St,

SW46DZ. 

8pm. Adm £5.00

The text has allready been made into New Music

which we will be performing for you on the night

 In case you might be interested,

each page is hand printed from a 

cut foam rubber type block  and

each page is about 6 by 4 inches 

and there are only a few left...

I made sixty or so but the plates have 

started to crumble and deteriorate

so there'll be no second edition in this form.

They're £30 and there are 11 left..

If you want one let me know asap

This last image is of a special edition of the book 

I've just made, contained in a wooden hinged slipcase and with an original

painting inside. There are only three of these and they'll

be about £300 if you want one.   I might or might not

do some more......maybe one more....
