There will be all sorts of merchandise on sale too - remember this is a fund-raiser. So please come with full wallets.

To buy will be posters, t-shirts, badges.... any suggestions or requests?

[Sterbus]

Hello everybody!!
I'm reading progressive ears since a long time and I always followed all kind of Cardiacs news (see my pic!) and other important updates... As I'm a great fan of Tim Smith and his music, I saw this thread and I thought it really needed to be re-upped.... Would be a wonderful evening of great music. Thanks again!

(PS, my question for admission in the forum was "what band recorded Selling England by the pound..." too easy! Not really prog, but I can tell you every Zappa line up from 67 to 88 )

Wish I could be there. Break a leg and good luck.

For those of you who haven't heard Sterbus yet. You are in for a real treat. His Dirty Boy is IMO the best Cardiacs cover ever made.

[Sterbus]

Thanks PeterG
And for those who are interested in what I do - and also what I'm going to play in Kingston - there's this very fine review of my work done by Dann Chinn for Misfits City...

Also, you can give a listen yourself here... hope you like it !

Wish I could be there too.

Thumpermonkey & Sanguine Hum are two of my favourite current bands - hoping Sanguine Hum join the cast at Celebr8.3.

Sterbus I'm still to check out.

Great! Does it include that 37 minutes + free form extravaganza-bonanza solo section with pocket trumpet, kazoo, maraccas and mallet testicle?
