Some dates for your diary. Well, actually, they’re dates for my diary, but you can come along too. I’d like that. My thanks to Matthew Cheeseman, a great facilitator who has made all this happen.
So, I will be at the Showroom Cinema in Sheffield for a fair proportion of November and December, introducing films and answering questions and playing records and generally enjoying myself by wallowing in all the things I love: British films, the sixties, horror, Hammer and scary old telly.
I’ll provide more detail as the events get closer but, for now, here’s a summary of where I will be at certain times. I feel like I’m setting up a series of alibis. Anyway, there’s more information and booking details, etc. HERE.

*I won’t physically be at this one, so it will be twice as good. I will be sending good vibes, however.
man, paul, this looks awesome, can you do a live telecast of these events in my nursery?
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the best Nov and Dec I could ever have.........if only I could get to Sheffield. But its nearly 200 miles for me and I don't think I would be allowed out to play. Night of the Demon The Knack Charlie Bubbles Taste of Honey Christmas Ghost Stories The Eccentronic Research Council and Mr Wittering. I will now cry and bang my head on a wall from now until Wednesday 18th Dec.
ReplyDeleteWould you mind recording that tearful head-banging for me, Keith? Could come in handy on a future audio adventure.
DeleteAnd don't worry too much about not making it to the above delights; my attendance last year was ruined when some dirty bloke called Paul started trying to touch me up during a sexy film.
You lucky man. Thats made it worse.
ReplyDeleteThank you, gentlemen. I expect the events will be such a success that I will be offered a world tour, which I will ensure will include dates at Ben and Keith's. No-one will be safe from my love!
ReplyDeleteAs a resident of said city, I will attend one of the events and unbeknownst to you, slip a cursed rune into your programming notes. Then I will go away, having enjoyed the film and music.
ReplyDeleteGood runes, though, right? Right?
ReplyDeleteSheffield's not far for me. But don't you show modern films, like say, 'Howard The Duck'?
