Despite sharing the floor of Berens Road with several roadies, musicians and Oatcake Weevils, the late 80s were nothing short of magical. Oh how I remember getting 'home' from a show anticipating a night of restless sleep, punctuated by prolonged ...

Shipping to the US was GBP 6.95, which isn't a bargain, but I've seen worse. I don't really care, to be honest! I must have this book. As you well know your husband's progress (and yours) has been followed closely by a lot of people around the wor...

Was it hideously expensive Fnarf? Much appreciated. Let me know what you think.

I'm always shocked to hear about other Orange Juice fans here in Seattle. Part of the magic of those pre-internet days was the feeling that you were the only one in the world lucky enough to have heard this stuff. Now, everybody's heard everything...

Grace's book, in today's Telegraph magazine

Falling and Laughing, Grace's book, there are extracts in today's Telegraph Magazine. Oh how exciting! Here's my review of the book. Not bad for a beginner.
No, I must admit, I'm proud of her, it's a jolly good read. Seb found it hard to read, about my hospital experience and all that, but it's funny too. I've had a funny life.
Cheerio,
Edwyn

Found Edwyn Collins again

I was thinking about Edwyn's music today, and decided see what news there might be of some new releases... and stumbled across this site. Glad to hear the bout with ill health has turned out well and new music is in the works.

I saw Edwyn live here in Atlanta Georgia back in 1994 and have been a fan ever since...his songs have stuck around in my mind and regularly float up to conscious awareness.

Orange Juice, Al Green and L.O.V.E

I have been gathering together an archive of messages sent to Edwyn while he was ill. There were so many and I appreciated them so much. They are all mixed up with my other email, so as I have extracted them have found some that I missed at the time. Here is one I have just stumbled upon. Startled and amazed by the things the internet throws up, I thought I would share it with you:

Home Again........the Heron Art project

In summer 2008, some very special people customized my heron drawing which adorned the sleeve of my single, 'Home Again.'
