Tom Byrne to join OEB lineup for Cardiff Meltdown on June 17th ( tourdates)

[Burro Mike]

We are pleased to announce that composer Tom Byrne will be joining our
lineup at Cardiff's
'Toucan Club' on June 17th. This show is really beginning to take shape, and
looks to be developing into a real 'Implosion'.

It's a triple bill with 'The Bard of Ely', The One Eyed Bishops, & The
Phasers, complete with psychedelic lighting etc. This show is very tied to
our of goal of bringing attention to the enviromental destruction going on
within some of Wales' most ancient and sacred woods.
It's ineveitable that this energy will effect the performances, and the
audience, so if you are nearby, come and help us 'keep the spirit of the
wood alive'!!!!!

Peace, Mike Burro

PS: In addition to our usual numbers, we are planning to do a 'set within a
set' consisting of a few Hawkwind favorites!!!

PPS: additional OEB personnel for this show TBA



One Eyed Bishops UK tour itinerary: dates & personnel; June 11-19-2004

The One Eyed Bishops are pleased to announce the following confirmed dates
for their

'Spirit of The Wood' UK Tour 2004

* The tour was named 'Spirit of The Wood' to bring attention to conservation
issues and to uplift 'all things green'. We have chosen one particular
environmental nightmare to champion on the road, that being the fate of the
ancient St. David's Wood, in Blackwood, South Wales.
There are literally thousands of trees awaiting the axe and hundreds that
have already been felled.
All this for a short stretch of new road.
For complete details of this debacle, We encourage you to visit
