BELLA LOVES YOU

To commemorate our love affair with Bella Union, we have 5 pairs of tickets to their Valentines day event at the lovely Union Chapel to give away to you. All you have to do is email us your favourite lyric from a love song at tickets@roughtrade.com and we will pick the winners and post them online. But wait there is more. They have also given us and you, the lovely track 'Below it' by Peter Broderick, that you can download here. Or you can find it on our Counter Culture 08.
Join in. It is sort of like a manage a toi.

'if a double decker bus, crashes into us.........'

BELLA UNION records will be hosting a night of magical music this Valentines with a number of our acclaimed artists gathering at the Union Chapel for an evening of seductive music... DUSTIN O'HALLORAN will open proceedings with his intimate and graceful classically-influenced piano solos before OUR BROKEN GARDEN carry us away with their dreamy atmospheric ballads... PETER BRODERICK will then take to the stage, playing tracks from his critically-acclaimed "Home" album, layering his vocals until it resembles a choir, whilst looping guitar, piano and violin to mesmerising affect... Other special guests will also be appearing on the night...

tickets available at Rough Trade East.

  1. Hmmm... I can't think of any classic lyrics from love songs right at the moment, but I can tell you my favourite romantic line from a movie: "Marla - I really like you." - from 'Fight Club', naturally.

    You and me babe, Hey, hey!

  4. No wait:

    'If you like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain
    And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne
    If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of a cape
    You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape'

  5. Aha... the mystery of the deleted comment.....

    OK, here's mine, as covered by the Thin White Duke in 1976:

    Love me, love me, love me, love me,
    say you do
    Let me fly away with you
    For my love is like the wind,
    and wild is the wind
    Wild is the wind

    You touch me, I hear the sound of mandolins
    You kiss me
    With your kiss my life begins
    You're spring to me, all things to me
    Don't you know you're life, itself!

    Like the leaf clings to the tree,
    Oh, my darling, cling to me
    For we're like creatures of the wind,
    and wild is the wind

    Wild is the wind

    Wild is the wind

    Wild is the wind

    wild is the wind
