Hello folks, almost four years since yours truly addressed this forum and too much has happened in my life ever since, luckily enough first and foremost enjoyable things. "Time Is All I've Seen" (The Sea Urchins). Only thought to let people in or near London and Glasgow know about the following events this week by way of a summary announcement, the obligatory Belle And Sebastian content is, of course, included. "It's All In The Game" (Cliff Richard). §;^D Highly recommended for kindred spirits in or near London: How Does It Feel To Be Loved ? club Guest deejays: The Happy Couple (Hamburg) Thursday, June 19th 2003, 9 pm to 2 am, £ 3.00 Buffalo Bars, Underneath the Famous Cock Tavern, right outside Highbury & Islington tube station. For details see http://www.bowlie.com/forum/showthread.php?s=e61a6e5ac24873e789e8931f1d733c71&threadid=6136 Belle And Sebastian content: Tóm and Jane aka The Happy Couple ( http://www.happycouple.de ) will surely be playing a song or two by this P!O!P! combo as well as some of their numerous influences. Highly recommended for kindred spirits in or near Glasgow: THE 2.4 HOUR TECHNICOLOUR DREAM The Félicité Singles Club Launch Night Saturday, June 21st 2003, 8.30 pm sharp Nice'N'Sleazy, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow The Félicité Singles Club proudly presents Roy Moller (Glasgow) Ulric & Friends (Glasgow) The Happy Couple (Hamburg) plus Peter Mortimer (poet) and special musical guests. Tickets merely £ 3.00 in advance and on the door. Appearing Live Roy Moller's début 7" single "Maximum Smile" b/w "David Niven" was recorded with some Glaswegian guest musicians late last year and co-produced by Stevie Jackson with whom Roy has occasionally collaborated on Belle And Sebastian songs. "Roy Walker" is also a member of local instrumental outfit The Wow Kafe. See <http://www.felicite.de/cite03/cite03.html>http://www.felicite.de/cite03/cite03.html for sound clips and more. Ulric & Friends are fronted by Ulric Kennedy whose recordings with The Catalysts are something of a legend and an archivists dream. The songs on the self-titled 7" were recorded in 1985 and lay unreleased until The Happy Couple happily received a tape featuring this short-lived project from Ulric ( formerly singer of Whaam! Records artists The Mixers and later member of Sarah Records artists The Golden Dawn ). See <http://www.felicite.de/cite04/cite04.html>http://www.felicite.de/cite04/cite04.html for sound clips and more. The Félicité Singles Club 7"'s are (will be) available (soon) from some of the finest mailorder services all over the globe, see <http://www.felicite.de/distributors.html>http://www.felicite.de/distributors.html . They will, of course, also be available at the event outlined and promoted above. That was shameless promotion, I suppose, but not shameless self-promotion anyway. §;^D For details see http://www.bowlie.com/forum/showthread.php?s=e61a6e5ac24873e789e8931f1d733c71&threadid=6102 Belle And Sebastian content: Too obvious to be repeated. I wonder who the special musical guests could possibly include. §;^D See some of you around, hopefully, and apologies to those who are currently not anywhere near London or Glasgow. "Travel" (The Honeymoons). "Smashing Time" (The Television Personalities) Andreas The rain it raineth on the just And also on the unjust fella But more upon the just because The unjust steals the just's umbrella (Charles Baron Bowen) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
