"JULIAN COPE AND FIONN REGAN JOIN the bill at the Laugharne Festival of music and literature next weekend, April 9-11. Nicky Wire, Martin Carthy, Nick Kent, Bill Drummond, Mark Olson, Stuart Maconie, Howard Marks, Will Hodgkinson and Roddy Doyle also feature at the event, the third to be held in the South Wales village.

Julian Cope will be giving a lecture based on his classics of archaeological tourism, The Modern Antiquarian and its sequel The Megalithic European, while his former nemesis Drummond will read from his latest book, 17, a questioning of modern attitudes to music and sound. Meanwhile, ex members of The Fall, Steve Hanley, Martin Bramah and Mike Leigh, are in conversation with writer Dave Simpson about their experiences under the yoke of Mark E Smith, and Manics bassist/lyricist Nicky Wire will be interviewed live by MOJO's Phil Wilding about his influences and inspirations".......

I must say, this looks like an absolutely incredible lineup! The ex-members of The Fall should be interesting! And it's good to see Julian back on the Megalithic track. Should be fascinating... I do hope there'll be audio or video recordings of this lot available to buy or download.

Cheers for sharing, Moss. I'm off to see if there 's the vaguest chance I can get along to it! It's looking doubtful, but one can dream. :)

PS - I meant to add - I thought it'd be a cold day in hell before I saw Bill Drummond and Julian Cope on the same lineup! ;) Mind you, it *has* been a bit chilly of late... :D
