In Fear Of Olive : \"Saluting Magpies EP\" CD

In Fear Of Olive : "Saluting Magpies EP" CD

Limited edition sophomore EP release on the ever popular CD format featuring : "In Rosanne's Town", "Saluting Magpies", "Beast" and "Moutebank"... 4 tracks from the very top drawer. ************************************** "In Fear Of Olive combine the raggedy charm of roots with an urgency and insistence that’s one hundred percent contemporary" – www.subba-cultcha.com ****************************************** In Fear of Olive started out as a guitar-led trio, comprising of Jake Cope, France Lahmar and Paul Burdett. They embarked on a musical journey taking on board influences as diverse as Johnny Cash to Bright Eyes and Bob Dylan. Less English folk, more American roots inspired, ‘The Olives’ sound further developed when multi-instrumentalist Arv Teeroovengadum was recruited in June 2010, completing the line-up as a quartet with drums and percussion. Dead easy.

Dave Formula : \"Satellite Sweetheart\" CD

Dave Formula : "Satellite Sweetheart" CD

Additional performances are supplied by guest vocalists and musicians David McAlmont, Robert Wyatt, Corinne Drewery, Joel Purnell and Dennis Rollins. All top players on top of their game. Available now in CD and download formats (from iTunes etc). Go on, show Dave yer love him.
Dave Formula : \"Satellite Sweetheart\" CDMore Details

Satellite Sweetheart draws on Formula’s childhood in Whalley Range, Manchester.

The striking memory that inspired the collection is of Dave being taken to see Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, who, after becoming the first man in space in 1961, made an appearance at the Amalgamated Union of Foundry Workers in Brook’s Bar, in a show of proletarian solidarity.

“I got to shake his hand as he walked past”, says Dave.

The collaboration with Barry Adamson, ‘Bison Heard’, recalls Paul’s Record Shop,
which sold imported calypso and blue beat singles, on Alexandra Road, Moss Side.

“It seemed like the coolest place on earth when I was being dragged up and down
on a Saturday afternoon, doing the shopping with my folks”, says Dave.

Dave was introduced to Howard Devoto in Manchester towards the end of 1977
by legendary producer Martin Hannett. The two have worked together subsequently
in Magazine and Luxuria, and together they have composed one of the album’s centre pieces in ‘Via Sacra’, which in turn lit the spark to the current Magazine reformation.

“I persuaded Howard that it was time to be creative once more. A last chance to be venerable. An offer he couldn’t refuse”,
says Dave.
