VINCE CLARKE AWARD FOR YAZOO'S 'NOBODY'S DIARY' UP FOR AUCTION
Vince Clarke is auctioning the BPI silver disc he received in 1983 for Yazoo's hit 'Nobody's Diary' to benefit the Rett Syndrome Research Trust charity. The award, to mark 250,000 UK sales of the single, has been signed by Vince and is available for bids - via eBay - until May 26th. I can confirm that this auction is available to international bidders so go and have a look, it's all for a very good cause! ANDY BELL LIMITED EDITION 'NON-STOP' T-SHIRTS + FREE AUTOGRAPHED POSTCARDS
To mark the release of Andy's 'Non-Stop' album on June 7th, I've been working with Andy on a set of three special 'Non-Stop' t-shirts which will be available for pre-order only for a very limited period over at the Official Erasure Shop at Lexer Music. In addition, Andy will sign 100 special 'Non-Stop' postcards which will be included in the first 100 orders worth over £30 which contain an Andy Bell 'Non-Stop' t-shirt plus any other Andy Bell/Erasure music or merchandise available at Lexer Music. VINCE CLARKE - NEW AUDIO PLAYER + FREE ASH REMIX DOWNLOAD
I have added a new audio player to Vince's website which will allow you to hear his recent remixes for Polly Scattergood, The Saturdays, Franz Ferdinand, The Presets, Ash, A Place To Bury Strangers, Erasure and Space Cowboy. We hope you enjoy having a listen, and if you like the remix of 'True Love 1980' that Vince has done for Ash - one of twenty-six singles Ash are releasing over a single year, more details in the news section on Vince's site - then it is also available as a free download over at Ash's website! ANDY BELL IN THE MEDIA
Gaydar's Phil Marriott interviewed Andy for his show last week and has very kindly sent over the audio for anyone who missed the original show. It's a great interview, clocking in at around twenty minutes, which covers pretty much everything and is well worth a listen! It's streaming for you in the news section at Andy's website.
Elsewhere in the media, 'Subject/Object', one of the tracks from Andy's 'Non-Stop' album, appeared in USA Today's prestigious feature 'The Playlist' this week alongside picks from Barbra Streisand, Doves and Dido among others, more on Andy's website! VINCE CLARKE PRODUCES 'LOVESICK' FOR TONYA HURLEY AND POLLY SCATTERGOOD
Vince Clarke has produced and mixed a new song entitled 'Lovesick' which is sung by Polly Scattergood using lyrics written by Ghostgirl author Tonya Hurley. The lyrics were written for Ghostgirl character Scarlet to sing in the forthcoming book 'Ghostgirl - Lovesick', which is due for publication in July. Polly Scattergood then created the music for the track and provided vocals before handing the track over to Vince Clarke for mixing and production. There is also a competition running on the Ghostgirl channel at YouTube which invites anyone to video-record their own version of 'Lovesick' in any style. Winners will have their video broadcast at Comic-Con as well as receiving all sorts of Ghostgirl merchandise signed by Tonya Hurley with a one-of-a-kind Ghostgirl guitar going to the overall winner!
