Sinister: iain banks, espedair street

[Andrew.Dean at xxx.NET]

um, don't know if anyone knows this but it's a book (andy
makes relevant gestures with his hands) about a scottish
band and their rise and fall and it was rather good although
the musical style was too proggy for my taste. anyway, it's
now a radio play (um, andy doesn't know the hand gestures
for radio play) in 4 parts and, well, i've missed the first
part but the rest of them are on radio 4 on thursday nights.
d. weir is played by john gordon sinclair (gregory's girl)
(iain himself is as scottish as scottish can be and v.
friendly given the twice i've spoken to him) and vocals are
by monica queen. there, a B&S link...

am just about to start on typing the gig reports in today's
papers. i'll start on the nme one and post it when i've
done. if anyone wants to do the (better) mm one then feel
free... i'll post them here and then put them on the web
page along with the pictures that are currently on paul's
page. but i'll leave it a week or so so as to not piss the
music papers off...

andy
