Séance at Notting Hill Gate

 

A couple of weeks ago workmen re-opened a tunnel in London's Notting Hill Gate tube station sealed since 1959 when escalators were installed to replace the lifts. This revealed a hoard of untouched posters which are soon to be removed and archived by The Museum of London. The pictures were taken by Mikey Ashworth for London Underground and the full set can be seen here.

Daytrip to Hollingsville

Music critic and author Ken Hollings dropped a note through the vicarage door to let us know that a recent episode of his Resonance FM show, Hollingsville entitled "Dreams: While the City Sleeps", features Julian House talking about dreams, cutups and sixties spectral transmissions  and is available as a podcast from this link.

Also the June issue of INTO, the sound and music online publication, has just put up a shortened version of  Ken's essay 'Spaceship UK' . This was commissioned for The Sonar festival and presents a history of British electronic music including Tristram Carey, Joe Meek, The Radiophonic Workshop, and Ghost Box in a context of British science fiction and bygone visions of the future.

You can catch more hot air from the Ghost Box curators here, in a recording of Saturday's event at the Roundhouse in Camden, "Moving Through Old Daylight". Archived courtesy of  Mark Pilkington.

The Ghost Box website has been redesigned. The site is now easier to navigate and you'll find new artwork, audio clips and other content on the Look and Listen page. Explore and enjoy.

By the way you can now subcribe to The Belbury Parish Magazine by following GhostBoxRecords on Twitter.

The Outer Church featuring Moon Wiring Club

If you're in Brighton on Wednesday June 9th I'd recommend getting along to Joe Stannard's Outer Church, an occasional night of  Prog, Psych, Krautrock & Electronics. This time the guest of honour will be Moon Wiring Club. Its at The Penthouse @ The Freebutt in Brighton, and admission is free.

While you're in Brighton why not drop into Resident Music in North Laine, a rather excellent record shop and Ghost Box stockist. Tell them the vicar sent you.
