The Artist Shop recently held an IRC Chat with Robert Wyatt. During the chat the subject of these concerts came up. Apparently Annie has put together a group to perform the music of Robert Wyatt. Robert said he was very flattered by the whole thing and it had his blessings. The log of that chat is now posted at The Artist Shop and you'll find it linked from <http://www.artist-shop.com/irc>. Overall the event went very well. Robert himself enjoyed it quite a bit. After the event, we went over to Talk City's #Music-Progressive room and Robert continued chatting with the fans in a less formal situation than the event itself. [And David Voci wrote:] >Noticing alot of people looking for Missing Pieces/N.H. recently and didn't>realise that this was OOP. Is it truly out of print mon frere?

This is definitely NOT out of print. You'll find it listed on our ESD page at <http://www.artist-shop.com/esd>. >I believe that 'End of an Ear' by Wyatt has been reissued BTW. Yes it has. We have it in our import section <http://www.artist-shop.com/catalog/imports>. Also there's the new Robert Wyatt/EP's by Robert Wyatt box set which is on out new Thirsty Ear page at<http://www.artist-shop.com/thirsty>. Definitely worth checking out.

I found out through a listing in the New York Times only a couple hours before the gig so I couldn't go. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Terry Collins" <terryc@indosat.net.id> Subject: Any Fanterburies in Indonesia? Date: Fri, 9 Apr 1999 00:53:47 +0700 Greetings and thanks for the nostalgia which is what it used to be. My memories go back to 1969 when I moved into a flat in Swiss Cottage rented by Phil Arnold, an ex-Simon Langton school mate of various Softs. Robert Wyatt was a frequentish visitor,as were members of Caravan. Musical connections are few. I can only play CDs and cassettes, but I do recall a jam session which included Robin & Barry Dransfield. This led, I believe, to an instrumental track on their album Rout of the Blues, which was the Melody Maker Folk album of the year (1969?). Of course, there were the gigs - so many Caravan, Soft Machine at the R.F.H. with Ivor Cutler & April (June?) Somebody supplying a quirkish interval, and Kevin Ayres at the Roundhouse... It was 30 (!) years ago and the memories were vague, even at that time.Each gig though was family. The same faces and conviviality. Does anyone recall the Hatfield and the North gig in the Logan Hall, Leicester Square c.72? The sharing of our stashes; the cookies passed out by the band in the interval: and the music. And the first time I ever bought a T-shirt advertising a band. I would like to ramble on, but preferably with someone I can share a beer with. Are there any other Fanterburies here in Indonesia? If so, let's try to recreate the appropriate atmosphere for listening to music that still satisfies and, in so doing, forget the paranoia of living in what could be the next Yugoslavia. This is an eagerly waited newsletter; many thanks.
