Wow, I can't thank David enough for this; I absolutely adore this song and he's right it's a fab version, I've been playing it at everyone all day and I feel dead happy. Now then, I'm trying to put a group together to play in a charity battle of the bands competition in October. It's going to be somewhere in London and I though it would be ace if any of you fanced joining in and playing decent songs, rather than the usual compromised set list of obvious crowd pleasers. We need to have 50% of the group working in the media but the rest can be friends. So far we have a very average guitar player(me), a really good drummer, a keyboard person, another rhythm guitarist and that's it. Apart from vocals and bass, we really need someone's who is actually good on the guitar and some strings and horns, or at least a trumpet player would be nice. To qualify for the final we need to play a 20 minute set to someone form NAB's (the charity), which must include an original composition. If anyone can help out, either fancy a go playing or writing or whatever then please mail me. Hope you can help Cheerio Darren --- David White <david@djwhite47.freeserve.co.uk> wrote:

Greetings folks,

Just a quick post to let you know that I have just created an MP3 file of "Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner" recorded when the band appeared on Sky TVs Apocalypse Tube thing last year. For those who have never heard the song or even those who have heard the current MP3 that's doing the rounds, I would strongly suggest downloading this one cos it's very good quality and of course it's well performed by the band themselves, (and the lyrics are much easier to hear than in any other MP3 of the song I've heard.)

To download it visit my site www.belleandsebastian.freeserve.co.uk and either click on the link on the home page or visit the discography, select Unreleased tracks then click the download.

On a related subject, I am introducing a Clubs and events page in my site soon, so if you run a club which would interest B&S fans anywhere in the world or you are organisaing an event (picnic or whatever) then send me an email with time, date, location and all the other details and I'll give it a link.

That's all for now,

Dave david@belleandsebastian.freeserve.co.uk
