April Skies

Posted 01/04/12

************************************************************

How Soon Is Now? is published Thursday 5th April by Faber & Faber

************************************************************

So there is some attendant promotional activity / badinage to accompany its release this month:

*2nd April,

at The Faber Social there'll be conversation between Owen Hatherley, Bob Stanley & myself (I'll also read something (from the book))

Bob will also be DJing

After the conversation Edwyn Collins will be playing acoustically which is, frankly, beyond my wildest dreams.

*3rd April,

I'll be in conversation with Stuart Maconie around 2.30 on Stuart's 6 Music show. We'll be discussing some of the ideas in HSIN? & playing some appropriate songs.

*4th April,

At Rough Trade East there'll be a HSIN? themed panel debate chaired by Luke Turner from The Quietus.

On the panel will be Merida Sussex from Stolen Recordings, Ana Da Silva from The Raincoats, Sean Forbes  - or as I've always known him Sean Rugger Bugger - & myself.

*13th April,

At The Laugharne Weekend

There'll be a further panel discussion between Gillian Gilbert & Stephen Morris from New Order, Richard Boon & myself (I'd like to think we are temporarily rebuilding The Gay Traitor on the West Wales Coast) 

*21st April, Record Store Day,

Like everyone else I'll be at my local independent record shop. Mine is Tangled Parrot in Carmarthen where I'll be reading and doing a Q&A at 2pm

*

Thanks in advance to anyone who might attend any of the above and, especially, to all those who have agreed to take part in proceedings.
