Regarding Chameleons front man Mark Burgess’s band The Sun and the Moon.

The newly reformed Sun and the Moon (original line up without drums) are doing an acoustic gig in Manchester on the 14th May at THE RETRO BAR Manchester. If you do not live local to Manchester and cannot pick tickets up from The Retro Bar, you can order tickets through Reet at scootusir@yahoo.co.uk

THE RETRO BAR
78 Sackville Street, Manchester, M1 3NJ
Cost : £15

Also on the 16th May at The L.G.M music venue in Earlestown between Manchester and Liverpool. Tickets £10. Tickets from www. seetickets. com or the venue. http://www. myspace. com/newhorizonsonline

This is a great opportunity to see the band do their first gigs in and around Manchester since 1989 in intimate venues (110 capacity at The Retro & 300 capacity at L.G.M) and unplugged (you want to hear how these songs stand up played acoustically)

We hope to see you at one of the gigs.

Hey. Litzine Beat the Dust is constantly on the look-out for inventive, hard-hitting, thought-provoking poetry and stories, and is particularly interested in writing that involves some kind of contradiction or breaks a rule in some way. We want to hear from writers with 'kiss my shades!' attitude who like to take risks with their work. That's gotta be you, right Pete. Click here for details on how and where to send your work. Thanks for sharing your space with Beat the Dust.
