Hi Hi Hi I love the wild swans and had a wondeful 12" single that I recently flooged for a small fortune called Revoluntary Spirit. Bloody hell my friend you have played in some bands so ... all the best with the Liverpool gig and please come along in Jan for the beat poets night, we have PAT AND JOE PLAYING PLUS READINGS AND JAZZ DJAY. I know Mark Refoy and I read his small bit in Doghem Logic re: Johnny Thunders, yes I remeber the incident but the best bit of the gig was Johnnny Thunders announcing his next song as " don,t put your dick in my mouth" and covered a frantic version of Do you Love Me .. The Contours R&B classic
See you soon and catch us live at the labour club, Ian and Pete
Steve, The Wild Swans shows were absolutely amazing! It's still a bit surreal at the moment, but those were 2 of the best shows I've seen in ages and everyone was first class all the way.
This years festival is headlined by Billy Bragg (Friday), Seth Lakeman (Sunday) and Peatbog Faeries (Saturday) with many more top artists also performing incl the award winning The Demon Barbers and Henry Priestman.
I see what you mean about Curtis. He made efforts to explain himself yesterday, but all I can figure is that anatidae is ducks! Sorry to miss you last night. Soon, I trust.
Oi, love & rockets from Manila's finest! We are fans of the Swans! Nice to meet you, Steve! If you have time, listen to the tunes! Let us know what you think!~ Keep on keeping on!
Whats all this with the agrarian Anatidae, Cunty?? ave yoo gorn an developed a bleeding, ledaesq bestial felixiarse fixation? And please bring back mr blagdon, all is forgiven Viva La PuLL
