   About Wilberforce
Wilberforce's never-ceasing lust for fame and glory began long ago in a London pub when they named themselves after a Prime Minister's cat.

Since then, there's been the tour of Holland, the debut album, pop videos, remixes, and gigs, while the shameless drive for self promotion continues unabated on My Space, where we welcome all our new friends...

Wilberforce have just put out a new video "Different Story", and plan to release a new album this Autumn, followed by more gigs with a "heavier" sound!

So... check out the "Madame Highlights" track that takes you on a 3 minute tour of our first CD and gives a fair indication of what we're about.

And if you like, then go to www.wilberweb.org/newloverecords.htm to order the album for only £6.50 incl P & P., only $10 from the US. Satisfaction guranteed or your money back!

thank you muchly for your lovely comments. Glad to see youre still busy munching music. I've been playing with Action Theatre and think the spontaneity will feed into my songwriting. Picked up the guitar the other day, felt good. Bought a Beatles chord book, who knows what could happen next...... :)

You should put your "different story" video at the bottom of the "about Wilberforce" section, it's a cool vid, more people should see it!

See you tomorrow!

Gold digging dentist on a one day deadline gains the talking camel's upper hand falling off the stagecoach roof was washed ashore, but the wagon is full of thieves. Unable to remain aloof, this was Mustafio's first taste of puppy love. And this was all in good fun, until Porcelina enrolled Mustafio for the costumed Latin dance lessons; for upon bringing the old man home she discovered it was merely a seersucker Ensign disguised as a soft spot for his sister.

The bean counter lied to Phyllis Newman who lied to the producer, then the producer lied to Mustafio and the treatment remained in limbo. I tried, but the elevator to the movie was so windy that I lost three full color pages from the story . But I carried what was left of the script to my room upstairs and kept it not under but safely hidden in dog years.

So it's a capital 'T' that's been hanging you up? Don't worry, it's only paint. And paint is easy to remove. If I was your mother and you were my daughter, you would be sleeping already. I wear these pajamas only on weekends. And you think that's healthy? People don't listen to their body until it's too late. I am not dramatic, I am merely being practical.

After last night's lecture, someone commented to me that I must be an army brat because I had such fantastic teeth. Such teeth, he said, could only be the result of good breeding and access to the finest dental care. I explained that though I descend from a long line of Bulgarian nobility, when I was a boy people were still having infected teeth removed by a donkey tied to a rope. Happenstance, I explained to him, is the main reason behind Mustafio's distinguished countenance.

Hey Wilberforce...have you freed any slaves lately?
I like your songs, quirky and melodic as usual... keep it up. Have a listen to a new track i've added on myspace, North South Divide', you might recognise the cheeky chappie pulling a pint on my slideshow.
Cheers Simon
