Westwood Ho - Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2007 6:01 am G'day, Well its been about 4 months since I last saw the Bells live & yes abscence does make the heart grow fonder. With a whisper that the "new song" was going to be aired I hopped on down to the RFH. An okish venue which I had not been too since Siouxsie played a few years ago (check her new song "into a swan" on youtube...) The band came on a bit late but rectified that by bursting in with "this cities burning" what better start do you need aural attack straight away love it. Not so many ballads tonight as the set was running late but we got a duet with Tom Editor of "where the wild roses grow" the Kylie Nick Cave song which worked well. Blistered on with a thumping start to "low happening" finishing off with the rest of the acts of the night piling in for a cover of a Johnny song (cant remeber title). A great gig as usual, no encore left you wanting more. Guilfest & Latitude are sooo very tempting.

EveSP - Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2007 3:05 pm Loved last night! John got a setlist which he promised to post on here. They had to skip one song because of time constraints, but can't remember which one! The Jonny song was 'A Thing Called Love' - I have the sheets from that. Would love to know who wrote it all out!
The band came down to the bar afterwards - Tom and Edith were also there! Juanita had obviously told the others about my offer to moderate the board, as Brendan mentioned it!
News... They're off back to Australia after Latitude, to work on the new album. They expect to be back around Sept/Oct.

Kid B - Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2007 6:55 pm From the Bella Union website:
"Us folk at Bella Union would like to thank all of you who came along to our Royal Festival Hall 10th anniversary shows over the past two days.
We'd also like to thank the bands who performed and their special guests.
We all had a fantastic time and hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
A summary of the nights will appear here shortly...no doubt packed with all the inside behind the scenes gossip!"
So... yeah, that should be interesting!
