A complete recording of An Evening Of Lugubrious Music & Lopsided Prose, featuring Mr Key and Outa_Spaceman and Pansy Cradledew, is now available as a podcast from ResonanceFM. Might I suggest that, on Christmas Day, you gather the family around the fireside and listen, rapt and awestruck?

On Thursday next, 22nd December at 6.00 PM, ResonanceFM will be broadcasting the Hooting Yard Christmas Special – an hour-long (slightly edited) recording of last month’s Evening Of Lopsided Prose And Lugubrious Music at Woolfson & Tay in Bermondsey Square. Those of you who were there will be able to relive those golden moments, and those who were unable to attend can hear what you missed, and gnash your teeth, and rend your garments in despair, after which you may want to cheer yourselves up a little by sending Mr Key his Christmas money, via PayPal.
A podcast of the complete, unedited recording will be available shortly after the broadcast, and I will of course post a link to it here.
If you wish to learn about a fruiterer’s gleam, cases of spontaneous combustion in literature, and a terrifying deckhand with a mop, there is a podcast to tell you all about them…
Next up in the flurry of Hooting Yard podcasts… with many thanks to Outa_Spaceman for doing all the technical gubbins.
A new flurry of podcasts will be unleashed by ResonanceFM in the coming weeks, beginning with…
Galvanic Batteries, Heads Of Swans
This is the cover of Obsequies For Lars Talc, Struck By Lightning. It was published in an edition of twenty-five copies in 1994, under the Hooting Yard Press imprint and – save for a brief, rewritten, extract posted here some years ago – has never again seen the light of day. It was the last piece of prose I completed before my descent into the maelstrom, or the Wilderness Years, or whatever one wants to call that period of ruination from which I eventually emerged with the launch of the Hooting Yard website in 2003.
I am planning to republish Obsequies, with the original text unaltered, as the second volume in the Out Of Print Pamphlets Reprinted series, later this year. Meanwhile, I have decided to read the whole thing on the radio, starting with this evening’s episode of Hooting Yard On The Air on Resonance104.4FM, continuing next week, and possibly the week after. (I’m not sure how long it will take.)
Turn on, tune in, pin back your ears, and listen.
The latest podcast features Mr Key’s son Ed playing the dramatic role of a bird, and singing the American national anthem (revised version) not once but twice!
