Sunday 5th April sees a concert to raise money
for the Multiple Sclerosis Society at
The Jazz Cafe in Camden, London. Top of the bill is our
good friend Curtis E. Johnson, whose CD The Bean King
is currently on release and deserving your attention. Max Eider and
The Butcher will be playing a set in support, as will the legendary
Martin Stevenson. Do try to make it to the show; it
will be the Butcher's only British date this year and it's for a
great cause. Tickets cost #12:00 from Mean Fiddler outlets
and Ticketmaster on 0171 344 4444.

Following their enjoyable trip to Seattle and San Francisco last
September, Max and The Butcher are due to make a return visit to the
USA this spring. They have been invited to play at a wedding
party in Atlanta, Georgia on 2nd May. You, of course,
can't come to this, but don't despair, for there is also a public
show at The Point in Atlanta on Friday 1st May.
The rhythm section for the dates is not yet known, but the rumour
mill has ground out a number of names, including those
of David J and Velvets drummer Maureen Tucker.
