Welcome to the Pinkflag mailing list, your chance to hear all the latest news from Wire!

AND NOW THE VINYL!

As stated in earlier newsletters. we held back the vinyl from our own pinkflag shop in order that shops could get stock for Record Store Day, which turned out to be a great success! Thanks to those that came to see us at Berwick Street on the 21st of April and all of those that bought the record at various stores throughout the world. However, many will have missed out, and so we are now able to offer the vinyl version through the pinkflag shop.

RADIO SESSIONS

 

Due to circumstances beyond our control and not of our making, the radio session planned for the 10th of May at XFM for John Kennedy was cancelled. Recording will now take place on the 29th of July. XFM sessions aren't live, and so John will be playing it out a few days after the recording. Also, a September 16th session with Marc Riley has already been booked. This will be live to air. Doubtless there will be radio appearances in the USA in July as well. We'll let you know!
