Thank you to Lorenzo Fragiacomo for the music and for making my bijou idea of a video into a diva tour de force
Bette O’Callaghan comes over as a superannuated rock chick, well past her sell by date but still showing glimpses of her former glamour and glory. Been there, done that, snorted it, jacked it up, sucked it off, fucked it up and still here to tell the tale. And what tales! A true grande dame in the Bette Davis mould. Writes and performs with great panache.

Friday, May 6 2005:Bette O'callaghan, Foul Geese; a beautifully toxic hour, Bette was backed up by the Foul Geese, emitting her corroded rock bitch wordage over the Foul Geese's low key paranoiac soundscapes. The Foul Geese are planning to release the hour soon, so look out for it. Bette has a great booklet called 'Dead Woman Walking'.
