SERGIO! SERGIO! ON MY RADIO

Always good to start Friday with a touch of Bolshevik inspired Heimat romance, Russian dancing and gorgeous acoustic versions of songs you already love.

Agreed? If so scroll down.

The former is supplied by the Ally Kerr film for A New International's 'Once Upon A Time In The Revolution', the track that takes Leone to Leon (Trotsky) for tea. At least one Sergio is in my good books this week.



The latter requires a little more effort but to access session versions of both 'Come To The Fabulon' and 'When I Walked The Earth' recorded for The Culture Show (oh aye, they know their culture) go hear and then fast forward to one hour in until you hear 'Valentino', then sit back and enjoy

And, as if that wasn't enough, you can hear the whole of 'Come To The Fabulon' hear. If you haven't heard the album yet then, really, what have you been doing?

EDDIE ARGOS


Tells You How He Formed A Band And The Inside Track On Rock n Roll

SPOKEN WORD TOUR MAY / JUNE 2015

Pop music, as we all know, can be an uncertain business. Whilst a chosen few achieve their dreams of riches, world travel and mass adoration for many a spot at their local battle of the bands is the limit of their fame. 

In October of last year Eddie Argos, world renowned lead singer and songwriter with Art Brut, the London band that have spent the last decade redefining the meaning of stardom, entertained a select audience in London’s Islington with the tale of how he created Art Brut and forever changed the face of popular music.

Now the whole of the UK will have the opportunity to hear his tales of a life spent in rock n roll, from playing the vacuum cleaner onstage to lying to people in London about how he could sing like Aretha Franklin. This is his story.

MORE ABOUT OUR SPEAKER
Eddie Argos grew up fantasising about being the singer in a band that would tour the world, despite the fact he can't really sing. Somehow he managed it and now he is going to tell you how. Heartwarming story or cautionary tale? You be the judge.
