Return of The Poppies?

Posted at 9:50 pm, Wednesday February 24, 2010 by rich

According to a press release from dPulse, Pop Will Eat Itself will be making a return and releasing a new album during summer 2010.

Given that PWEI have always been one of my favourite bands, this is fantastic news.

Cropredy 2010

Posted at 6:11 pm, Friday February 12, 2010 by rich

The lineup has been announced, and to be honest there’s not a lot that grabs me. Other than Bellowhead, The Selector, and of course Fairport Convention, there isn’t a lot that grabs my attention. Having said that, Status Quo might be alright.

I wonder what Cambridge has to offer this year?

Yan, Tyan, Tethera, Methera!

The CD of Ade Edmondson’s latest musical venture, The Bad Shepherds, fell through my door today. It’s a collection of celtic/folk(ish) cover versions of such classics as I Fought the Law (Sonny Curtis/Clash etc), Down in the Tube Station at Midnight (The Jam), Rise (PiL), Teenage Kicks (Undertones), God Save the Queen (Sex Pistols) etc, and it seems to work very well. Hopefully I’ll get to see them in Frome in July, if not they’ll be at Cropredy anyway (mental note: must get around to ordering tickets one day).
