Notes

Another solo gig for me. I'll be playing at the Pulse Festival at Northampton Labour Club on Friday 22nd April 2005. I believe that support is from Robert Bray and Paul Cox. I'll be on about 10:15, I should imagine. It's almost certainly free to get in. You can probably find out more at: http://www.spiralarchive.com
The Butcher Says...

Pulse Festival Songwriters Night - Friday 22nd April

A good night at Alex Novak's Pulse festival affair at the Labour Club. Alex was upstairs, spinning the records (I swear I heard somebody playing "My Sharona" at one point, but I can only assume that the upstairs area had by then been invaded by liquored-up young Republicans or something), while downstairs you had your songwriters. John Novak started up, ably backed by Paul Cox and Andy Denton. They did "Hot Love"! Then Paul did a solo set, his best yet. He's getting louder, which is a good thing. I had one of those nights where it felt as though I wasn't getting the sound right at all. Of course, everybody came up afterwards and mentioned what a good sound I had had tonight. So there you go. It seemed to go down fairly well, after all.

Set list:

Vicious (Lou Reed)
Shame About You
Shakey
Ghosts
Radio Saigon
Weed Smoker's Dream (Trad? I know the version by the Harlem Hamfats, myself)
Trans Novak Express
Woke up This Morning (Alabama 3)

Back to Shakespeare Villas, where we were joined by Curtis and Andy Skank for an in-depth examination of the early career of the new Pontiff, so memorably described by the Italian Communist Party newspaper as "Il Pastore Tedescho" - "The German Shepherd".

I saw your comments on April the 1st and took it to be joke from a freind
but no, its real I have made it I have a stalker

your persistance has led me to belive that you seem to be sincere.
so sincere infact ,that you have us given a false email address and a false name.
if I had ever known or stolen records from anyone named Entrail divider, I think I would have remembered.
"So, after a tip off from a friend I finally discover blah blah"
its not hard to find me, try Google and its even easier to find my email addy curtis_uk[at]-remove-hotmail.com
so why you have decided to flame me on The Jazz butchers forum I really dont know,
however I will be playing at the Phippsville Festival in Northampton on 23rd of this month
so do come down and say Hi I would love to meet you.
I have given up violence and name calling for a few years now but in your case I would be willing to make an exception.
I am 49 years old and left Edinburgh and my smack habit behind me since 1981 and for the last seven years I lived in Edinburgh I was a well paid DJ with an open account at five or more local record stores so stealing records to sell dont sound right to me
p.s.
in my lfe I have only ever had one gibson guitar it arrived in three bits as the previous owner had bought it to impress his mates with but being unburdened by talent all he could do was emulate the final part of some hendrix townsendian performance and wrecked it
I had it restored but unfortuatley it got stolen like many other guitars throughout my life.
PUT UP OR SHUT UP
sorry for the rant Pat
Curtis
Tired of you

No, Curtis is not playing. But yes, maybe you should come down to Northampton anyway, just so that we can kick your bitter little old man's arse all the way back to the flea-ridden bedsit where you write your twisted crap.
Listen, pal - I don't know who you are, and I don't care. People in this town like Curtis a great deal. For you we don't give a shit. Got that, tosser?
Ugly Mug!

So.....is the mutt playing?....You know, Curtis
Dogface Johnson, the loathsome creature
with the face of any ugly dog and the arse of a
baboon! The man with more enemies than
George W. Bush. Does he still use the cherry
Gibson SG Junior that he stole from my mate
a few years ago?
Maybe we'll come and ask for it back.
