Deaf Institute Gig

Hi Edwyn, Grace and all who were there on tuesday night! Just to say thanks for a fantastic gig.
We had been looking forward to seeing you for so long and as ever you didn't disappoint.
Great venue, great, great tunes and great to meet you after as well. It was an absolute honour and thrill.
Photos and signings will be treasured.
Don't forget to come back to Cork someday soon. Drinks are on us.

Seán and Christine.

Edwyn Collins & 1990's at Helmsdale

The town of Helmsdale is situated in the county of Sutherland. It's a pretty tourist town and I particularly like the harbour. The locals are friendly which is what you would expect for any northern Scottish town, and the local pubs are also what you would expect (not surprisingly the gaffer of one pub we frequented knew the owners of our local in Groats which is more than 60 miles away!!).

Anyway, off with my tourist board head (although I would… Continue

Falling and LAughing... Excellent Book

I am loving Falling and LAughing. Its very well written. Grace Maxwell you've got great style and I like the points that you made-especially as I hope to train as a speech therapist.There is a real searing honesty and strength to your account. I'm glad you wrote it. I think its great. I'm going to be at Deaf Institute Oct 27th, and if it is not annoying for you, will hope to ask you to sigh it. Hope that is ok. All good wishes from Robin Brunskill (voice artist) www.robinbrunskill.com PS We met… Continue

Kirkwall Gig

Hi Edwyn and Grace,

Thanks for a sublime gig in Kirkwall - the encore of 'Expecations' made my night!

All the best for the rest of the tour, and haste ye back again!

posted originally to Edwyn's myspace....

with Edwyn's permission....

...I am back for one last time; I promise to get lost after this.



Well I never; my post got picked up all over the place, The Beeb (and thanks to Stuart and Mark on BBC Radio 2 for the support and wisdom) , The Guardian, lots of others. Several US sites where many people offered to support me if I SUED, which is, I suppose, the American way. But I've been down that road before and it's a long and hard one, especially in the US and France. You may have… Continue

Read the book, love the new song, can't wait for Bloomsbury!

Dear Edwyn and Grace,

I finished the book at last and just wanted to say what an unexpectedly uplifting experience it is. A lovely piece of writing Grace, and some great quotes from Edwyn and Will made me feel involved without intruding, if that makes sense?

The new track I'm Losing Sleep is great Edwyn, any more up your sleeve and is it part of your live set? Talking of which, I cant wait to see the show on Nov 7th at Bloomsbury Theatre. A weekend in London topped off with seeing you… Continue

Restoration

I've just finishing the best book I've read in years.Desperately sad yet full of smiles.I rediscovered Edwin's wonderful music again and listened to Home Again with a different ear.I would like to thank Grace for finding the words to describe such a difficult time.Having family and friends around you must have been an enourmous strength to both of you.I hope to hear plenty more of Edwins great music and lyrics.If the book hadn't been a library book,I'd have passed it on to friends and… Continue

Punk, Orange Juice & John o' Groats

This is my first post as I only joined this morning, so hello to everyone and I'm really happy to be part of an online community that appreciates the work (and sheer grit) of Edwyn Collins.



This is also my first blog ever, so excuse me if I overstretch myself and end up talking bollox. It's a weird thing to do, expecting someone else to be remotely interested in your life. It's like doing a video journal/diary and having to talk into a camera. It can be awkward. I tried it earlier in… Continue

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.

The Eureka moment has arrived and the possibilities are REAL !

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
