Neue Liebe is MOST delighted to announce that Scotland's foremost writer and brilliantly hilarious wit will be performing at the Neue Liebe Festival Fantasia Cabaret on 10 August.  http://www.a-l-kennedy.co.uk/index.htm

AL Kennedy says:
"Laughing may be the best medicine. Or a medicine. A controlled substance… Anyway…it certainly passes the time and distracts you from that whole "certain death at the end of it all" side of things. You'll find a link here that allows you to listen to "Terror: the Pocket-Sized Guide" which was my last Edinburgh Fringe Show, courtesy of the excellent people at The Stand comedy club. The sound quality isn't the finest you'll hear – no budget - and there's an amount of intro and outro music, on either side of the talking part. Feel free to enjoy before I improve matters.

But enough about that old thing - the really important news would be that we're on the road again and another lovely show - "Present Tense"  - has been prepared for you delightful ladies and gentlemen at  - all of whom I will be expecting to welcome, perhaps more than once, if there's room - and you know what's good for you. I'll be at The Stand 2 for almost the entirety of the festival - 2 Mondays off, just to sleep and eat and the rest of that unnecessary stuff.

Here is a link http://www.thestand.co.uk/fringe2008/shows/alkennedy.aspx to The Stand's very own Fringe 2008 Programme which says kind things about me that would cause me to blush, should I place them on my own website. (Not that those kind things aren't absolutely and verifiably true, of course.)"

COMING UP ON 10 AUGUST MANY MIND-BLOWING SURPRISE FESTIVAL DELIGHTS PLUS:

Digital Jones


http://www.myspace.com/digitaljones  


Digital Jones is a couple of peeps doing loud, electronic, sexy, funky, musically omnivorous sound things. Composed of multi-instrumentalist producer - bass/keys/sampler artist, Phil McBride and the room-filling tenor of Nikki Kent's soulful, sultry voice, there live sound is difficult to pin down, but might read something like retrofuturist-broken-sexy-soul-frunk. Just as happy to rock a dance floor with jacked-up, latin-flavored electro-house beats as they are with glitched-up, live broken beats and 70's synthesizer soul, Digital Jones combine their musical influences into a sound that is unique in the UK, simultaneously familiar and ahead of the curve. This is a group making music for the future; and that future is here in the present looking backward to the past for signs of the past future that are still presently futuristic, but also retro in a kind of forward-thinking way. Seen ? Digital Jones is what happens when people understand that good music is all about being tight as f*! AND behind the beat; blatantly futurist AND shamelessly retro; jump up AND get down; Just Wrong AND Come Correct; Edinburgh AND Detroit; Digital Jones is dirty beats played so fresh and so clean. Believe.
