Greyhound Company Rules

Not Your Average Type — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 20:15:41 +0000

Thanks to David Green for these photos of Andy Faair at the Stoke Newington Bookshop last Thursday. Andy didn’t read from his book on the night . . . after a few beers he gathered the assembled to the makeshift bar at the back of the shop and recounted the story that lay behind and runs right through Greyhound Company Rules. He’s coming to a bar near you soon so if you don’t buy his book . . . buy him a drink.

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside . . . in September

Not Your Average Type — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 15:27:52 +0000

With 10 minutes to go before kick-off fashionable West London is already applauding the chorus of 3 thousand tangerine clad Blackpool fans. Somewhere on the M6 a lad from the town they have come down to the capital to represent is making his way home North to visit his mother. On him a copy of The Occasional Diary Entry of an Opportunist Football Fan. This after all is a story that has much to do with family as it has to do with the fixture he is missing. Politics and punk, promenades and promotion break across the pages of this salty little 7″ single. Oranges at half time? No mate . . . tangerines.

This is a Bucket . . .

Not Your Average Type — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 15:03:19 +0000

Look out for a book, a song and a film about a bucket.

The 2nd release from McKevitt & Noble goes live on October 14th.

“Much like wheel barrows and sheds for that matter, buckets are sadly overlooked by most composers and poets. This gem by McKevitt & Noble elevates the status of the humble bucket and fills the innocent pail with a resonating sadness.”

“It brims with wit and spills its sorrow”

“A clunky little number”
