All the best wishes from Bremen, Germany !

I´m really glad that Edwyn is back...and released such a great new album ! Especially because I share a similar fate. I was --and still am- working for radio station Bremen Vier and played Edwyn´s music since the very first days on Postcard. I was glad to present his solo concert at the "Breminale"-festival over here many years ago and did a very memorable interview with him....

About 5 years ago I suffered a stroke myself and had a very hard time and still have to cope with the… Continue

See you in Birmingham

Just got tickets for the show at Birmingham Glee Club, Nov 15th. That'll be a year since I went to the Bloomsbury Ballroom gig, if it's anything like that one it'll be worth the wait. Looking forward to hearing the new album too. Good times!

Not much to say...

...besides that I'm looking forward to Edwyn's new album! I love the title song, it just became my official summer hit 2010 :)



Oh, and I found some old photos from the tour 1995 in Germany, which is still one of the best tours I ever followed. And that's not just because I had the chance to take a look behind the curtain:…

ignacio from barcelona here!

Hey Grace and Edwyn,

Ignacio Julia here, from Ruta66 magazine in Barcelona, trying to reconnect with you.

I'm reading Falling and Laughing just now and enjoying an advance copy of Losing Sleep.

Do you need my e-mail to answer or you already have it as I've registered?

Looking forward hearing back from you!

Ignacio

Falling & Laughing & Jean

To: Grace Maxwell & Edwyn Collins.

We are REALLY grateful to you both for your book – Falling & Laughing. Almost exactly a year ago my wife Jean fell down the stairs in our home on the left side of her head in March 2009. She suffered a fractured skull and a critical brain injury. A month ago she had a large titanium plate inserted. Why is there such an amazing improvement? Perhaps it is the more normal shape to her head; perhaps it is the greatly improved protection for her brain;… Continue

Martin Stephenson Biography

Hi

Hope this is OK. Last year Mark Bradley and myself had our biography of Martin Stephenson (he of The Daintees) published - The Song Of The Soul. Plenty of references to Edwyn and Postcard Records in there. Available from the link below. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks

Rich

The Book

What a joy to read .A positive life affirming blast of a book .I would like to say i read it at one sitting but I can't as I as crying that much I had to put it down.This book helps fill in the missing weeks for me as I had a brain haemorrhage and have 3/4 weeks i can't account for. My wife says i should be grateful,that my only memory is 'I'm not going to die'. Anyway Grace this is the book that many of us wished we'd written about the experience but didn't have the talent or determination,so… Continue

Caught By The River

Jeff and Robin from Heavenly are behind this beautiful thing full of writing on rivers, fishing, birds, music, anything. A real labour of love. Edwyn is working on their next themed playlist, but here is birdsong 5.

Shouty McShouty from Shoutington!

I visited my local library yesterday to return some books and Grace's book caught my eye as I was walking out.

I'm one of the people Grace describes in the book, someone who loved Edwyn's music but I wasn't a dedicated follower. I have often wondered why I hadn't heard any other records by Edwyn after the fantastic single 'Girl Like You' over the airwaves.

I'm halfway through the book today, much to the annoyance of my family as there is a mountain of housework…

An unmistakable commentator can majorly affect a book's gathering. Numerous writers endeavor to have their books assessed by an expert in light…

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 !
