Back In Felt


We have recovered, just, from Rocket Cottage's fantastic Lawrence-channelling set at the Betsey Trotwood a few weeks back - belated congratulations to all those who won fantastic radio roadshow goodie bags! Whilst we're at it, we would also take the opportunity to salute Lupe, Raz and everyone who helped making it the fun it was.

Meanwhile, however, the steady trickle of emails requesting a reprint have continued, as have the nice reviews in glossy publications (Q, Mojo, Frieze, Dazed & Confused, etc). Not wishing to seem churlish, we have faced up to our fears of yet another big pile of publications taking up the bicycle space in the hallway: the presses are humming and we expect to have 500 copies of the second (and really final) edition by early October. More news on the exact date as soon as we have it, and we'll put up a thing for pre-orders as soon as it's all confirmed.

Thanks again to everyone who sent us lovely messages over the summer - and we promise, everyone who requested the reprint already is guaranteed a copy.

  1. Super news:)

    Just 3 questions, is it marked "second edition"?

    Does it have a white cover?

    Or is completely identical to the first edition?

    These things are important to most of us Felt fans you know:)

  6. What a great site. I'd never heard of the fanzine, but it's lovely and the the interview is great - I like the cleaning lady's cameo... We'll put a link to it from the blog.

  10. Hi Tom, sorry it's taken a bit longer than we thought - but now expecting delivery from our friendly eastern European printer around 23 October. We didn't want to jump the gun, but we will get a pre-order button up on the site this week so that we can get copies sent out as soon as they arrive.
