A microbrewery for book-lovers

Like a street party for the soul…

I must admit that deep down, or even not that deep down, I quite enjoy a big bank going down. As a friend put it in the pub last night, there’s something about a man in a thousand pound suit carrying a cardboard box away from his desk that brings a smile to the face

News from Gent…

We just got back from our performance with Matt, Tomma, Shila and David as Inter Inter Inter at de Bijloke in Gent. We had the most amazing time. First of all we can’t resist praising highly Tomma and Kristoff {sorry if that’s wrong; I never saw your name written down!} and their two great boys

Hurricane hits benevolent dictatorship!

All the presidential candidates in the USA are now having to consider exactly when to arrive in New Orleans. This is a tricky one, because the only logical answer is: never. Why do the people there need their future president {whoever that may be} to personally supply them with bottled water and blankets? Some may

Half-handed cloud round-up and more!

There are two half-handed cloud posts you may be interested to open in a new tab, as it were: Sounds Familyre is the blog of the Danielson’s record label, who also host some of John’s CDs. Magnetic Magpie is in a language we can’t download. We now have reviews in Russian and Japanese we’ve never read, which is

Pictures from the Harrison Centre

We just recieved these shots from the show in Indianapolis. Looks like a great space and it’s great that people were given gloves to handle the books.

We’re on show in the USA

The Harrison Center for the Arts in Indianapolis have put some of our work on show during their current month-long exhibition, and it is receiving praise and interest. And we’ve been informed of a strange co-incidence in that John Ringhofer, our latest collaboratee, has also played a show there in the past. The Center sounds very astutely run,

The Heart of Sunday night

Ping* and I just popped to Edinburgh with our friend Kenny to see Tom Waits play. Definitely one of the most extravagant things we’ve done in ages, but it felt GREAT! It was an amazing gig; he roar-sang with the whole of his body for more than two hours, stamping on a weird circus-surplus platform covered with

The Credit Crunch: a bleak breakfast!

Eddie Farrell spent the day at the workshop attempting to reduce his to-do list. We had a fun time of it printing and talking through our hats. It’s a good thing to take new people down to the workshop; they often avail themselves of opportunites that have been staring me in the face. Today we

Half-handed Cloud & Henningham Family Press

Thanks to everyone who came along and joined us for our evening at the Foundry. We’d been making this print all week with John Ringhofer of Half-handed Cloud {above}, and it culminated in this music and live-print show {below}, featuring the 12 foot wide vinyl {or LLLP!} spinning stage. Special thanks to John and also

We’re on Resonance 104.4FM with Half-handed Cloud {noon 27/6/08}

We’ll be on the radio again tomorrow, I’ve pasted in the info from John Ringhofer’s bulletin:  Hello!Thanks to those that came-out to tonight’s live printmaking/sing-a-long peformance in London on the giant 12-foot turntable. Really fun. We’ll try to post pictures before too long. For those who couldn’t make it, we’re going to play on London radio
