Prefab Sprout relics and rarities

[NicD @Sproutology]

@CulpaFeliks I must finish that screenplay

[NicD @Sproutology]

@CulpaFeliks My second worst musical decision was attempting to tune an old piano someone gave my dad. Took ages and sounded awful. The actual worst was attempting to service a piano accordion - they're full of springs and when you open one up they fire out in a frenzied 30 seconds of mayhem

[NicD @Sproutology]

She's on support duty for Garbage in the near future, if Garbage is in your plans, turn up early.

[NicD @Sproutology]

This is just a great live album from absolutely the most underrated musician on the planet. IYKYK

[Nige Tassell @nigetassell]

The new book is a collection of 54 mini-chapters/essays about various aspects of the Sprouts and their music (and sometimes beyond; there's one about ex-England captain Bryan Robson).

Plus a few typically Tassell quests, including tracking down the most famous motorbike in pop.

[NicD @Sproutology]

This looks great. I’ll be waking the site up for this if I can remember where I put the keys.

[Rough Trade @RoughTrade]

EXCLUSIVE

At its beating, romantic heart, 'Truly Gifted Kids' is a celebration of the much-cherished pop group, Prefab Sprout, a long-overdue companion to their wonderful music.

Pre-ordering at Rough Trade via @NewModern.

@sproutsfan @Prefabsprout @KwareRecords @KItchenwareK I think I have all those records, including the Mayking test pressing, but what a great provenance.

[NicD @Sproutology]

@sproutsfan @iceblinktears @Prefabsprout I have the snowglobe

[NicD @Sproutology]

Very sad to hear of one so young suffering a stroke, dig deep and all that.

[feliks_culpa @CulpaFeliks]

I'm taking part in a fundraiser in support of Rosa Thomas of The Smaphires on Sunday March 8th at the Star & Shadow in Newcastle. If the tickets are gone don't be scared to donate. M

[NicD @Sproutology]

Sniff More Gritty is one of the best albums of (essentially) this year, brilliant live, an artist who should be massive but unaccountably is almost unknown, unless you're in the know. Find out.

[Du Blonde @dublondesucks]

The music video for 'It's Christmas and I'm Crying' is out now! My favourite part is the puppets my mum and I made from a foam mattress she found in a back alley. Thanks so much to @marcrileydj for giving this radio play recently ❤️

@sproutsfan @CulpaFeliks I'm heading up Saturday afternoon sadly, though thanks for the offer

[NicD @Sproutology]

Many rivers to cross, but the Jordan is the last.

[david @sproutsfan]

I have a ticket for Martin McAloon @CulpaFeliks @Prefabsprout for Friday 5th and Saturday 6th December shows at the Cluny. I can’t make it now after an accident prevents me from flying to the UK. Any fans need a free ticket ,dm me. If you need more https://t.co/3kBYdi9mXR

[david @sproutsfan]

2 years ago managed to see Martin ⁦@CulpaFeliks⁩ ⁦@Prefabsprout⁩ in London. An accident prevents me from@making to Newcastle in December. Have a free ticket for the Friday or Saturday show if any fan wants to go for what will be a 40th celebration of Steve McQeen

[NicD @Sproutology]

Ah, Tom Lehrer. Genuine genius.

[NicD @Sproutology]

Glad he made the final gig at least.

[Thomas Dolby @ThomasDolby]

My attorney advised me to 'keep my head down' in the current political climate, and try to post stuff that doesn't offend anyone.

I told him, I'll be damned! Silence=assent.

But let me just state for the record: I am DELIGHTED with my new pedal bin.

[Dawn Bartlett @Graceprgirl]

One of my all time favourite bands are Prefab Sprout, I was lucky enough to do PR for the 25th anniversary release in 2007 and here Martin is celebrating the 40th @CrowleyOnAir @petepaphides @LordWakering @StuartMaconie @LauraLeeDavies @johnharris1969
