FEATURING
MIKE JOYCE
AND ANDY ROURKE
EUGENE KELLY
WEDNESDAY MAY 5
THE JOHN HEWITT 8.00PM
Emerging from the swirling depths of the Manchester music
scene, Vinny Peculiar has become established as the city’s
lone Oracle of truth. Like a skinny, white Sam Cooke, Vinny
comes backed with the assurance of God and the ability to
turn pain into beauty.
In this festival special Vinny will be joined by
Andy Rourke (Smiths, Badly Drawn Boy, Sinead O’Connor)
and Mike Joyce
(Smiths, Buzzcocks, Julian Cope)
Tickets £6.00 from the Festival Office on 028
90232403 and Belfast Welcome Centre on 028 90246609.

This
man is a legend. Kurt Cobain liked his songs so much he recorded
three of them (Molly’s Lips, Son Of A Gun and Jesus
Doesn’t Want me For A Sunbeam). Eugene has also written
with Evan Dando, and with Norman Blake from Teenage Fanclub.
He was a founder member of the incredible Scottish avant-folk
pop group The Vaselines. The story of The Vaselines is of
course that they only found their true audience after they’d
split, when groups like Mudhoney, Sonic Youth and Nirvana
started citing them.
Maybe in the future some other hipsters will dig up nuggets
from Eugene’s subsequent groups, Captain America and
Eugenius. But at the moment the main thing is not to let these
beautiful new songs of Man Alive pass you by.
