Sinister: Please vote for Butcher Boy!

[Ian Watson]

Hello! We need your help!

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie played "Carve A Pattern" by Butcher Boy on
Thursday night's show on Radio 2, and now the band are one of four bands in
contention for next week's Record Of The Week. If they win, Radcliffe and
Maconie will play the single every night next week, which would be amazing!
If you have a moment, could you please vote for them? Just email "Carve A
Pattern" to radcliffe.maconie at bbc.co.uk

There is a B&S connection with Butcher Boy. Stuart¹s been very kind about
the band in his diary, and his wife Marisa took the cover photo for the
band¹s new album. Here¹s what Stuart had to say about them:

³Butcher Boy are playing in Offshore Café. I feel a little bit emotional
tonight, so I go for the racing certainty that is soft chords, poetry and
gentle souls. The ambience in the café is literarily unmatched by anything
I¹ve experienced all summer; seeing Ciara, the transformation of the café
into a listening place, the man behind the counter tiptoeing with our
refreshments, the music and the 44 bus illuminating the ceiling every time
it passes. It is darker inside than out. Time has slowed. Because our hearts
have slowed. Because we are listening.²

Please vote if you can! Voting closes on Monday 16 February 2009 at 12 noon.
