Love Is Noise - NME "Track Of The Week" 9/10 more

The new single is to include b-side "chic dub" on the cd, and live tracks "let the damage begin" and "a man called sun" from 2007 on the 7" vinyl versions. See below for full details ....

Still some inter-band tensions - Richard Ashcroft confirms that reuniting the band has not been all plain sailing.  [more here]
 

Italia Wave gig was cancelled due to Richard suffering from pharyngitis and a chest infection. He was prescribed antibiotics and advised by a doctor to rest. Apologies were made to fans on their official website.

The Verve were back on track with a [shortened] set at Summercase, Spain 18/19 July.

THE VERVE
UNOFFICIAL CALENDAR
2009 !

YOUR PHOTOS NEEDED .....


I am planning on producing an unofficial Verve 2009 calendar. (This will be professionally printed rather than knocked up on my trusty old inkjet like the 2008 version!)

I'm looking for high quality photos from this year's tour/festivals of the band, audience, venue etc. (but mainly the band). Anyone whose pictures are included will receive a complimentary copy of the calendar free of charge. 

If you have any high quality photos and are willing to have them considered for inclusion, please contact me using the form opposite.

If you have no photos to submit but are interested in purchasing the calendar when it's produced, you can register your interest by contacting me on the form opposite, making it clear you're interested in the calendar. The calendar will be a strictly limited edition, so first come first served. A final price has not been set yet but I anticipate it being in the region of £9.99 -ish.   I'm not looking to make a huge profit, as printing costs are quite high for small numbers, maybe if I'm lucky I'll cover my web hosting fee !    Thanks in advance.....  p.s. size will be double A4 in split format.

There's more chance of getting all four Beatles on stage together than a Verve reunion.
