Just checking my mail and lo and behold...some Beth news direct from her management (from the great folks at Rough Trade Mgmt) dated Summer 2000. :) NEWS.... According to her mgmt, any mail including pics, tapes, poems, letters ARE forwarded to Beth. A newsletter was created to inform and to answer some of the questions posed; overwhelming fan reception prevents her from answering them individually-sorry. - -Beth started the year in Australia & New Zealand...went on to support Beck on his US tour (Feb) & European tour (Mar)..and some solo shows. - -She won a Brit award for Best British Female Solo Artist(she also wishes to thank all those letters of congratulations) - -Some summer dates are planned - -Afterwards, she plans to finish writing her next album & hopefully begin recording in Autumn. TOUR DATES...(Note: this list is of her remaining shows-you are advised to contact the venues/ticket distributors/local press with regards to further info.) July 22nd-An Grianan Theatre, Letterkenny, Ireland July 24th-McCarthy's Bar, Baltimore, Ireland July 26th-The Lobby, Cork City, Ireland July 28th- Galway, Ireland July 29th- Watergate Theatre, Kilkenny, Ireland August 19th-V2000, Staffordshire, UK August 20th-V2000, Chelmsford, UK QUESTIONS... Fan club....None at the moment, but her management, Rough Trade Management created a fan database of anyone who has written in. Merchandise/guitar music for Central Reservation(... London-based)....Available at record shops or by phoning from the UK tel: 0800 376 9101 or from abroad tel: +44 20 8222 9232 De-Lux is listed as handling Beth merchandise...call them w/ regards to their mail order svce... tel phone: +44 20 7613 3555 (London) Her official websites: www.roughtraderecords.com www.heavenly.co.uk/ www.bugjuice.com/beth orton/ ...an unofficial website worth checking.... www.bethorton.ontheweb.nu/ or writing to Beth here: Beth Orton c/o Rough Trade Management, 66 Golborne Road, London, W10 5PS, UK Contact Rough Trade for song lyrics, photos, etc. But REMEMBER to include a stamped addressed envelope for all your correspondence. Be good, polite fans and don't blow it for the rest of us. - ------ Regarding SuperPinkyMandy....it's "gold dust." Your only hope is to look one up in a record collector mag & see if it's for sale. Good luck. Beth writes song track, "Beautiful World" for the BBC series, "Nature Boy". It's unreleased at the present time. Other bits of info.... Born Dec. 14, 1970 in Norfolk, UK, never modeled nor studied to be an actress, lists "shaving" as a hobby...begins writing a song "with a feeling," her guitars include a Martin D28 & Breedlove, would like to work with "Mad Professor" on next album, doesn't pinpoint her inspiration, but had positive things to say about "Mercury Rev" and "Flaming Lips, " and "can't say (her favourite song/artist), I'd hate to leave someone out." Final notes from Beth.... "Well, I'm rehearsing for these gigs, the last off Central Reservation, am writing for a new record, no release date yet. I'm also doing a small, purely acoustic tour of Ireland, check local press for details. Thanks for being into the music, I'm hoping to get a proper website together in the next month or so. So anyway, when I do I'll try and be a bit more communicative. Love Beth xxx." Well folks that's it. My summary of her newsletter. I thought I'd write in and clue everyone in on the news I got, plus save you the cost of a stamp/IRC. Any inquiries should be directed to her management: Rough Trade Management 66 Golborne Road London W10 5PS UK ************* One last note & not positively sure, but people here in the States may need to include IRC(International Reply Coupons-can be purchased at the Post Office) in their correspondence w/ Rough Trade. I think this is what they mean for us to include stamped-addressed-envelopes in our letters/requests. Reason being, we can't place US stamps(or any of our own "foreign" stamps) on letters coming from the UK. ************** Cheers & best wishes to everyone, Matt ------------------------------ End of trailer-park-digest V1 #111 **********************************
