DREAM OF FUTURE COVER VERSION

WE WILL SPOIL YOU

After eating 20 or so Ferrero Rocher's and getting 13 hours sleep BB has come up with a great idea for a song! We will start to record it tomorrow. Enjoy the X Factor final tonight (let's just hope Egg & Onion Quiche does'nt win).

M.A.H BRISTOL SPECIAL

We're all big fans of most of this lot. It's worth a watch (although it's a bit of a waste for the first few mins) "DOG POO!??"

* Mary Anne Hobbs - Bristol Rise Up!..


Listen to the show HERE. ..Oh actually, not sure if you can now? Oh well..hunt it down somewhere on the net and listen cos it's great!

TRIP UP NORTH

BB & LH took a weekend trip up to Leeds. We were stuck in Leeds market all Saturday with 'artists' who were making some work based on the market, we decided to do the same. LH wrote a little song, BB painted some pictures.

Here's a little video BB put together (which does feature LH's little song)..

FENCE TV

* The Fence Collective - on The Culture Show
(Only online for the next day)
We were fillled with joy watching them on REAL TV and felt very proud to be connected to Fence. First The Pictish Trail (backed by the by the rest of the gang) played 'I Don't Know Where To Begin', then a little interview, then James Yorkston, Rozi Plain, Pictish and King Creosote did 'Tortoise Regrets Hare'. Lovely job!

Blimey!!..

WOT DO U CALL IT!?

As you can see from looking at the above photo..good people have been cutting up our songs and making new songs, i believe this is called remixing. Chop us up! We have had 10 so far. Some have been very very good. Thanks!! We'll be posting these remixes in the new year. You still have time to have a go, get the bits n bobs HERE.

DESIGNING THE NEW WEBSITE

BB: "i cant type out what i wanna say, we'll have to all meet up and discuss it."

DF: "I take it you are going to convey the idea using mime or dance then. are you not even going to try and explain it in writing? if not then no worries, just let it be said that you all hold me back."

OLO RADIO - BB29 - JUST HANGING IN THERE - 27/10/08

Bruised and battered by the musical, the splinter group of confused outcasts wonder around in need of help. Dry ice is sprayed on these drinkers as the season's change. When the smoke clears the cast of the musical will save the spineless for the doctor and take the rest down to the lake at night and drown them.
