 Season's Greetings
from The Little Express and XTC (circa 1989)
January 2, 2009: A.J. Hartley writes to let us know that his new mystery/thriller novel What
Time Devours will be published next week. He says, “it is
dotted with XTC references which have both plot and thematic function.”
Sounds like a must-read.
December 5, 2008: Jim Moray writes that because of his cover of “All You Pretty
Girls” the song has been nominated for Best Original Song at the BBC
Radio 2 Folk Awards. Jim has been asked to play the song at the
ceremony and he says that Andy has accepted the invitation and will be there at
the event. It happens on February the 2nd in London and will be broadcast on
Radio 2 on February 4th.
November 30, 2008: Doug writes, “You might remember the Andy Partridge and Dave Gregory
interviews on Rundgren
Radio? Well, you may find this hard to believe but ... COLIN MOULDING
WILL BE ON A RUNDGREN
RADIO SHOW! December 7th, 2008, at 2pm ET. Just like before with Andy
and Dave, listeners are welcome to call in and ask questions!”
No news is no news.

Chalkhills is a web site and mail list dedicated to
XTC (the apparently now defunct band). Surf Chalkhills to find a wealth
of information about XTC, their music and recordings, and much more.
Chalkhills is frequently updated (I get bored) so check back often. Chalkhills
is the longest extant XTC web site, first hacked together by me, John Relph, in May 1994; FTP archives were first
available in April 1991.
