The Soft Boys were one of the support bands at the Damned's (first of many) farewell gig--April 8th, 1978 at the Rainbow Theatre in London. Sounds like an awesome time. Someone printed the entire text from the book included in the set here: www.trakmarx.com/2004_05/The_Damned_PlayItAt.pdf The show is mentioned near the bottom of page 48.

It's a process used in fine art print production, using ink-jet from a digital source. (Carrie's not the only person working in the arts round here, remember!) BTW, though I've lived in New Zealand since I was eleven, I still have an English accent according to everyone here. No doubt if I went back to the UK I'd sound like a kiwi. As to the type of English acccent, it's a fairly nondescript south midlands with traces of north London, though mainly a "blank" accent, due to my mum's RADA-ish "accent free" accent. However, when i sing loud the London comes out a little more, and if I listen to anyone with a strong accen tfor too long I have an unfortunate tendency to slip into a milder form of the accent myself (I've even had a South African ask me what part of the RSA I come from). The worst, though, is if I listen too much to someone from London - I slip into the accent and it often lasts for the rest of the day... >actually, for folks that can visual things in their heads, he has some >very interesting geometry sculptures which he's made, and also some >other interesting links: >http://www.georgehart.com/index.html Very nice. In my reviewing job I quite often have to review exhibitions by 3D sculptors. Two of my favourites here in NZ are Neil Dawson and Terry Stringer. Dawson's work is quite similar to Hart's:he's best known for two giant geometric forms in public plazas in Wellington () and Christchurch ().
