Natty Booker Exhibition July 15th - Hoxton bar and Grill

[natty]

how the f8ck can I persuade Mrs M. that £160 for a print for the front drawing room is a good Idea!!!

Let me know if you have any ideas!

[runcible]

Bottom line is it's an investment. It's a print from an official series and signed by the artist. No way will it go down in value!

Ok sooo, I want one of these really badly! I have one of Natty's drawings of the angel that was on the spilt milk records site. But are these things really as big as the site says they are??? are the prints the size of the ones that are hanging on the walls in those pictures?
Is the recurring print really approx 19' by 13'???? or is my math wayyyyyy off????? is it really 585cm X 415cm????

[Sim]

mm, not cm.

I'd need a need to buy a new house first if it is cm.

Just back from Sheffield. My other half isn't well so we only managed a brief appearance but had a decent chat with a few folks. Will was as charming and chatty as ever - even talking about making more solo music which is good news. A nice chap called Dave who used to make the Spacemen 3 badges decades ago. Bloke at the gallery - Andrew - also very friendly and very into the exhibition.

I bought a Sweet Tooth print - it looked great on the wall and I couldn't resist it. No way was I not going to buy something in an exhibition like that.

I'm not sure what music was on the cards tonight as we left before it got going. It's a tiny gallery well out of the centre of Sheffield so I was impressed with the number of people who appeared as it was busy inside and out. I'm still miserable at missing the London night on Thursday. When I mentioned this to Will he said that he knew he couldn't say too much before the event but also that he tried to drop big hints that something would happen even though he hadn't confirmed it all with any of the people involved. What's more is that there was NO rehearsal or soundcheck on Thursday so they did pretty well - and they apparently all really enjoyed it too.

Well worthwhile tonight.

I reckon I've done it. Mrs. loves the Anyway That You Want Me one.

Just one question; is it 587cm x 325cm or are the measurements in mm?

I mean, it can't be cm, can it?

[runcible]

That'd be mm not cm. They aren't big - the largest is probably the one that was on the Spacemen 3/Wooden Shjips 7".

Even that low quality video looks and sounds amazing. Seems like it was a great night. Can't wait to hear the recordings or see the hi-quality footage.

EDIT: WILL IS KILLING ME WITH THOSE BASS LINES AT THE END OF REVOLUTION!!! JESUS!!!

Glad to see support for the cause of Natty, shame to hear of his illness. The bands at the Sheffield show (The Second Floor (featuring Nolan formerly of Spectrum) and 3d Tanx are brilliant.
I have heard good things about Hoxton Bar and Grill, playing there next month so should be cool.

Glorious... Despite all the crap that has allegedly gone on between ex-Spacemen, seeing them on stage again together restores my faith in people somewhat. It’s good to know these guys can put bad feelings (if there are any) on the back burner for a night and get together to help out a mate. Like everyone, I have been so fucking busy recently that I completely forgot about this show and will probably never forgive myself for not having gone.

It was probably the best I've ever heard Walking With Jesus sound. Better than any of the times I've heard Spiritualized do it.

Here's the others on Youtube:

The show was filmed properly, so hopefully we'll see it surface sometime in the near future...

Fantastic. I particlularly like Pat Fish's "Aren't we going to do the last verse?" face during the last minute.
