Advice for readers concerned with matters Hainesian:
It is now beyond pencil. Luke Haines will be at The Roundhouse’s Freedom Studio on Tuesday, January 27th 2009. He will be reading extracts from Bad Vibes, chatting with Andrew Mueller, taking a Q&A and playing a short acoustic set. Lucky old Camden to be so blessed.
I already have tickets and must now make good on my promise to send the Roundhouse box office staff a barrel of biscuits.

Awesome! Do you have a link for ticket sales? I think I should be there... :)
What would make you think I had not already foreseen that you would want a ticket and purchased it for you already?
I Notice the novelist David Peace describes Bad Vibes, Mr Hains, as Part Oswald Spengler part Spike Milligan. I imagine anyone who gets compared to Spengler just wouldnt know just how to take that..?? Also If I didnt knoe better I could easily mistake Luke Haines for your brother, you both bare an uncanny resemblence to each other.
Funny where Google leads you (here, in this instance).
I, too, have booked now but it's odd the tickets are Standing Only, considering its a Q&A/book reading thing. Me old legs just can't handle all that stading about lark no more.
This AND Black Box Recorder at the Luminaire in February. Sweet joy....
Judith – You are not the first one to say that the Haines of the cover of Bad Vibes could be mistaken for a distant relative. However, that is an exceedingly cruel slur on England’s finest songwriter. I suspect Haines quite likes the Spengler comparison and would not be too displeased if people saw this volume of autobiography as somewhere between The Decline of the West and Hour of Decision.
Tuppence – As I have multiple tickets for both, I can only agree. Sweet joy indeed.
