19 Jun 08 - 04:07 PM (#2370194) Subject: Owl Service in Manchester Friday! From: Spleen Cringe The Owl Service, Alison O'Donnell (formerly of 70s folk rock band, Mellow Candle), Nancy Wallace (of the Memory Band) and The Straw Bear Band are playing tommorrow night at Hedge, Manchester. It's only a fiver in and looks set to be a fantastic night. It's been said of the Owl Service that they "fuse traditional British folk ballads with elements of psychedelic rock and recall the great acid-folk bands of the late '60s/early '70s but never once sound contrived or overtly retro." Friday 20th June 2008, 8pm The Carlton Club, 113 Carlton Road, Whalley Range, Manchester M16 8BE Thanks! |

I hope it goes well. Meanwhile, everyone who thinks Alan Garner's book 'The Owl Service' beats Harry Potter all to heck, please raise a hand. |
