Bridget Hayden CDR (ROWF16) out now
Recorded at The Bowling Green pub in Manchester on 17th November 2008, when Bridget was on tour with Marcia Bassett, this is a maximal 25-minute set of epic guitar brutalising and deep, moaned vocal incantations. Employing a bow and 'metal' effects pedals, the resulting cacophony is orchestral in scope, rendering almost unreliable the memory of one woman and her instrument. Somewhat akin to Bassett's duo with Matthew Bower, Hototogisu, the deeply layered tones created by Hayden offer, upon first exposure, a somewhat icy auditory experience, but as the recording settles in, the richness and sheer breadth of sound wraps around you like a feather quilt and shifts your perception almost 180 degrees. A truly magnificent set from this former Vibracathedral Orchestra member.

BREAD MAGAZINE LAUNCH
Sat 26th July, Fuel, Withington, Manchester, UK, 7.30pm, suggested £3 donation
We're tripping to announce that the first issue of BREAD is now about ready to go. We came up with the idea and the cover back in the 'ought-five, so the cover price you see above is way outdated. That's because the zine is now bigger than we anticipated and includes a glorious compilation CD. It comes in a hand-stitched black card sleeve with a title sticker designed by infallible Lucy Jones. Sleeve art by that dude of can-do, Dave Bailey. Oof!

Poetry by Byron Coley, Christina Carter, and Oliver Neilson
Stories by R.L. Perry, Nick Mitchell, Fliss Horrocks, Tim Horrocks and Nicholas Ainsworth
