STOLEN OCS PAINTING
This canvas painting of Ocean Colour Scene, which has been signed by the band, was stolen from Moho Live in Manchester after the OCS gig on 28th January. It's of great sentimental value to the artist, and she'd very much like it to be returned. If you know of its whereabouts, or if you are offered it for sale, please contact us as a matter of urgency so we can pass on the details. We would like to stress that the value of this painting is sentimental, and its safe return is the main priority.
Thank you.
The wonderful news is that the
Half Moon in Putney has been saved! It took a tremendous effort from the owners, staff, bands and fans to persuade the brewery where their best interests are, so enormous thanks to all of you who bombarded Young's Brewey with indignant emails! For once, we've been listened to - if only the government would do the same.... The Moon will make some changes, have a revamp, and will soon be back to its former glory as one of the UK's best live music venues.

Hot Gig News! - Friend of vespa.org.uk Terry Shaughnessy and his band The Universal have been confirmed as the support for Ocean Colour Scene at their intimate tour warm-up gig in their home town of Birmingham on Monday January 25th. Well worth checking them out if you're the type that normally stays in the bar until the main act comes on
