If the Montgolfier Brothers were to split up, who would you like to keep the eight track in the subsequent messy divorce?

aka Quigley v Tranmer

aka At Swim Two Birds v Gnac - FIGHT!

Prompted by news of a new Gnac album and support shows for Vini Reilly ...

Saturday 5th September, 8pm.
At Swim Two Birds (Album launch)

@ The King's Arms, Salford.

I *think* admission includes a free copy of the album but could be wrong about this.

Going to give the new album a first try on that inspiration.

as a mid-thirtysomething, there's not a lot of lyricists that really speak to me

roger quigley is one of the few, and he does it so, so well

let the drink drown me, and let the smoke choke me, and let life run rings around me...

you can't stop time
hard as you might try
we're not here long
and then you're gone

Find myself bemused that he's not more ... acclaimed.

Amazing songwriter! A normally stoic friend actually burst into tears once when I had "The World Is Flat" on.

You might also want to investigate At Swim Two Birds and Gnac, their other bands.

V excited about this gig.
In a maudlin and depressed sort of way.

djh, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 15:54 (fifteen years ago)
