NEWS ARCHIVE 2008
Well I've finally got around to saying "HAVE A HAPPY FESTIVE TIME TO YOU ALL". In between all the projects that had to be finished off - or taken to a point at which I can return to them in January, I've been preparing for the Solstice. It's a time people either love or are indifferent to and I love it - I guess because of happy magical childhood memories and then lots of grown up good xmuss times too. The rotten stinking cold/sore throat virus I've been struggling with is finally subsiding just in time. Hooray! So here's to warmth, love peace and happiness all round - goddess knows we all need that more than cheap consumer goods. Rise up 2009 we're gagging for a spirited positive axis shift.

Cosey Fanni Tutti and Carter Tutti Update
Some of you may already have heard, or not, but Cosey has been very ill since the beginning of the year. This meant the majority of upcoming projects and all current activities were rescheduled or put on hold. Cosey's health has improved somewhat in the last week, although she still has a way to go before a full recovery, but we are now in a position where we can attempt to slowly begin catching up with our most pressing or outstanding work.
Number one on the 'to-do' list has been starting our Feral Vapours film, which will now be released on DVD much (much) later in 2008 than was originally planned. Contributions for a number of compilations and collaborations that will be released in the coming months have also now been completed(details when we have them). There will definitely be some Carter Tutti shows in Europe this year but we are waiting on final confirmations before we make any announcements, which will be soon. In a couple of weeks we will also begin preparations for a few European Throbbing Gristle shows this Summer.
