hello fantastic fans,.....
there's loads of things coming up during the month of july including a radio broadcast of "frank sidebottom's story of pop" ...... details to follow...
my mad cow puppet will be making a return this week,... when he does his first bit of telly ever.... (his last apperance was onstage in leeds in the '90's) ,..... but let me warn you in advance.............. he's mad !!!!!!!!! and i mean stark raving bonkers mad !!!!!!!
anyway...... since he got the mad cow desease,.... i've tried not to use him too much,... but as i am running out of material,.... i'm having to scrape the barrel a bit !!!! but if you tune into channel m's "city life social" (sky 203) at 10pm on thursday,... i'll try and do a faily semi-proffesional job. (there are at least 3 repeats of this show - see my 'shows' ).
right ..... here's me and my "oh blimey big band" doing "je'tame wild thing in timperley" and "space is ace" at the labour club last week.
don't forget i'm judge (with the lord mayor of altrincham) for this saturday's "altrincham festival ,... i'll be following the floats all the way to the playing feilds in timperley (nest the the labour club - the grange) where we'll decide who gets this years trophy ,....... brides now being taken !!!!! ..... only joking !!! (not really !) .... it's worth going for the fun fair alone ,... (see "my home movies" dvd.)
i'm on iain lee's virgin radio show next tuesday night (8th june) from 10pm till 11pm ,..
and the great news is .... that mr. lee has agreed to join me live onstage for my "unroyal varietey show" at the bull and gate in kentish town on 19th july along with the 'royal jugs' who are ace and played at craggy island with me earlier in the year ,.. and also my "oh blimey big band" (plus other suprise acts to be added) ... for tickets go to www.wegotickets.com/event/32606
