Fuzzy Felt Folk IV - Friday 22nd June

Fuzzy Felt Folk IV, 'Help Me Make It Through The Night', will take place in Sleazy's again on Friday 22nd June. It is absolutely no coincidence at all that this date also happens to be Kris Kristofferson's 71st birthday. For those of you comfortably sheltered from Lady Wurlitzer's weirdo ways, this really honestly isn't as odd as it first sounds. In amongst the usual knitting and crafting activity, the evening will take the form of a birthday celebration and tribute to the song writing wonder that is Mr Kristofferson :o)

We'll have tipsy jelly and sweeties, we'll have a suitably Kristofferson packed/inspired playlist and we'll have the all important birthday cake. The birthday cake, baked specially by the very talented Cake Goddess will be the best bloomin' birthday cake this side of Sauchiehall Street! We may even have some knitted beards and aviators for those with a penchant for fancy dress (or that may just be too silly...).

We've put together a bill of performers who will come along and play their favourite Kris numbers while the rest of us tuck into our birthday treats and stitch our socks. Be reassured and sleep well when I say we are NOT encouraging Stars In Their Eyes-esque re-enactments of Help Me Make It Through The Night et al. We have been very careful to select people who simply want to share a version of a KK tune that they've put together in their own little way. Hoorah! The live lineup includes Dave Arcari, Rick Redbeard, YHF, JC Hamilton and Lady Wurlitzer. There're a few more acts to be confirmed and providing they're free and willing, they will be stupendous additions to an already choc-a- flaming-brilliant bill :o)

Knitters - raise your needles, artists, pick up your pencils, crotcheters - pick up your...crotchet stuff and cross stictchers, pick up your pretty projects! Combine a little crafty activity with a bit of chat, some tipples, some nibbles and some stupendous live music.

Fuzzy Felt Folk- Sleazy's 2nd May

Fuzzy Felt folk returns for some musical crafting action. I stole the following from Fuzzy Felt Folk's myspace:

On the menu for this party we have nachos and homemade spicy dips by Caboodle (you might get some guacamole if you're good), some rockabilly style cup cakes by the Cake Goddess (I bet you didn't know there was such a thing) and some booze by...The Bar Person.

On stage first (at about 9/9.30) we'll enjoy You're High Frequency. Ditching his usual electronic/live ensemble and fellow collaborators for the evening, You're High Frequency joins us on his tod for some renditions of his favourite country tinged ditties. Next up we'll go wild for the mighty, mighty Dave Arcari. This is a pretty big deal. Dave Arcari is as close to a legend as FFF is likely to get in the next while and if you haven't heard Dave before or if you haven't seen him live - this mini show is the perfect introduction! With an exhilirating blend of dirty country and dark blues, this one man resonator guitar machine really is a musical figure to be reckoned with! Just brilliant.

Taking up the roles of hostesses, the beautiful Vanity Kills and the stunning Morgan le Faye will be offering you Lady Wurlitzer giveaways and treats. For those of you who were sad to miss the burlesque starlets last time around, you'll be grinning at Party III :o)

So. Tell your chums, tell your mums and tell your bums to wiggle their way to Sleazy's on 2nd May, 8pm-12pm for some joy.
