BBC Radio 1 are making a documentary about the Bowlie Weekender (which is due to be broadcast on the Monday evening after it all takes place). As well as interviewing bands and harassing Bluecoats, they want to find a chalet full of bright young things who wouldn't object to a Radio 1 reporter following them around at various stages of the weekend, and capturing a few magic moments on tape - the laughter, the tears, the vomiting, etc... and everything that you thought was special and not so special about the weekend. Ideally you'll be an evenly mixed chalet of girls and boys (in the interests of sexual equality), preferably HUGE B&S & indie fans, and be well up for talking endlessly on the radio! If you're interested please e-mail them and they'll take it from there: james.finlayson@bbc.co.uk with the subject line of: bowlie weekender if you don't put that as the subject line it'll not be filtered into the right folder and your dreams may be lost! or if you're at the B&S fan night at the Paradise Bar next Thurs (see below) - james from Radio 1 will be down there and is happy to talk more about what they're trying to do! -- secondly a reminder to B&S fans in and round London that next week on Thursday 11th a few fans have put together a wee B&S disco/club/convention in New Cross. entitled '200 troubled teenagers', the flyer states that it is 'an evening dedicated to the scottish group Belle & Sebastian. featuring music from all their EP's and LP's - including Tigermilk and related records.'. their will also be a music from the records of The Pastels, Nick Drake, Stereolab, Scott Walker, Francoise Hardy, Momus, The Pale Fountains, et al. the event will be at the Paradise Bar at 460 New Cross Road in London SE14 from 9pm until 2am. it's £3 to get in, or £2 with a UB40, NUS card or B&S badge/shirt. it's about two minutes walk from New Cross tube and rail station or catch the bus (53, 36, 21, 177). most of us will be there, as will james from radio 1, so if you can make it that'll be really cool. cheers david ----------------------------------------------------------------------- david kitchen : jeepster recordings ltd http://www.jeepster.co.uk/ mailto:shop@jeepster.co.uk jeepster recordings ltd, 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london w10 5bn to subscribe to the news mailing list mail majordomo@jeepster.co.uk with the words 'subscribe news' in the body of the message +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
