Treasure Island

Here is something a bit unusual which you may or may not find interesting. Whilst digitising some old tapes I recently came across 4 short (approx 2 mins each) extracts of Edwyn reading from Treasure Island on the Mark Radcliffe show on Radio 1 in 1995. I can't remember exactly what the reason was, I think he asked various people to do it reading from one of their favourite books, anyway I only recorded Edwyn's. 'Just why you call me an obsessive' springs to mind.

Looks like there is a limit to the number of files you can attach, i.e. 3. If there is any interest I will upload the 4th as well.

Excellent, thanks for uploading.
I remember this first time round but I didn't record it.

Oh Dave please do. I have no recollection of Edwyn doing this. Why is this? It has knocked the stuffing from me somewhat, but I am grateful beyond words to you for retrieving this precious fragment of Edwyn's speaking voice reading so beautifully. It's overwhelming, honestly. x

Here is the other reading I have. This time it is from a book called the Bad Old Days. I only have one extract this time, either I missed the others or there was only one. Mark Lamarr was sitting in for Mark Radcliffe.

Art Work and Bum Fuzz

Posted by scott owen on May 5, 2017 at 17:15 0 Comments

My Bum Fuzz unit just arrived in California along with some plectrums with Edwin art. It took me along time to order this unit, but the twenty five year gestation period for it to be built surely eclipses my lack of urgency. Best regards all...

Thank you for the music

A while back I asked Edwyn if he would let me use his music on a little film I made.  Here is the result: Mill Mechanics

Thanks for that.

Shareefa Energy – ‘Reasoning With Self’ - Review



A few months ago the BBC offered a profile of new emerging female poets, ‘Women Who Spit’. Watching the short films by Jemima Foxtrot, Cecilia Knapp and Deanna Rodger, I noted with great relief that the art of poetry is alive and well. I have always been fascinated by the medium. The ability to express intricate thoughts and feelings in a few lines of words. It is the most empowering process. And empowerment through self-expression… Continue

Thanks

Dear Edwyn,

Can I just thank you for your contribution to my life. From that very first shiver I got listening to Felicity on the John Peel Show to the smile I still express today when you burst into laughter half way through Consolation Prize, it's important I let you know how much your music means to me before one of us croaks it.

I was hooked instantly and bought all the singles and albums, the ten inches, 12 inches and even ripped the flexi discs off Smash Hits and Melody…
