    Bill Drummond at Eastside Projects

    Here’s Bill Drummond reading from his book 17, about The 17 choir project he’s been working on for the past several years.  He was very well received despite a late entrance, but he did put £200 behind the bar for the waiting audience.  What a lovely man.  He described The 17 in layman’s terms as ‘a bunch of guys standing in a darkened room and going EEEEUUURRRGGGHHHH.’  The actual philosophy around it is this:

    He then introduced a new score about manholes for a Birmingham 17 choir and there was a practical rugby scrum for the email list to get in it.  I of course fought my way to the front to get on it.  I can’t wait.  Now all Eastside Projects have to do is find a suitable manhole cover – for some reason it has to be a round one, which are pretty rare these days.  Speak up if you know of any!
