The Greenbelt website hasn't caught up with the alteration yet, but Bill Drummond's site is telling us that he's decided now to perform The Seventeen over August Bank Holiday weekend: seems there were second thoughts over Prepare to Die. Perhaps because mydeath.net is still down.
Anyway, as I mentioned last week, The Seventeen looks like a lot of fun and though I thought that there wouldn't have been any harm in exploring themes of death and dying at a Christian event, instead exploring how to make music that's never been made before is probably a lot more fitting for an arts festival.
The one thing that neither website has mentioned - and I think I'm safe to say as I've signed the contract - is that Bill and I are due to have a conversation with an audience at Greenbelt ... which is one reason (my own talk sessions being the others) why I really ought to get doing some preparation this week for a rapidly-approaching (and as-ever exciting) event.
