“They say that a forklift truck driver has an up-and-down sort of life. What they don’t tell you is that, if he’s Stuart Bowditch, he might be composing poetry while he’s at it. What we have here are the snappy, lyrical observations of a Southend working-man, all delivered with a viewpoint as level as one of his pallets. Trust me, it’s one book that WON’T be ending up at Pitsea landfill site.”

Russell Thompson, Apples & Snakes

Author Stuart Bowditch will be signing copies of his book ‘Confessions of a Forklift Truck Driver’ tomorrow (Sunday 9th Nov) at One Way Books. The shop is Southend’s newest independent book store and its situated on Clarence Road, opposite Hush Bar, and only 1 minutes walk from Southend Central Station.

This maybe your last chance to get a copy of the hand numbered limited first edition (only 200). Hope to see you there from 4pm.

Hybernation celebrates the start of his new residency on Fluid Radio this friday evening at 7pm. This rather special 2 hour DJ set recorded live at this years Boundless Festival was commissioned by Steam Control. You can tune in here.

Fluid Radio is a site playing the very best in deep, melodic electronic sounds. The vision for the station is to be a universal project that allows listeners, artists, producers and promoters to be completely involved in the growth and direction of the project. Fluid is a space for celebrating the beauty and diversity of chillout soundscapes. A space to share in the creative process and spread the experience of inner exploration through musical expression.

Hybernation has 2 releases so far on Rednetic and Paperscissorstone with two more releases due later this year on Rednetic and Smallfish.
