    I never thought I could accept a cover version of "Please Please Please..." but this one I can accept.

    Just finished watching "This Is England" for the first time. Great movie and I think I can tell that I like their version of "Please, Please, Please (...)" better than the original from The Smiths.

    Started listening to them because of Shane Meadow's films and now I'm bloody obsessed. Shame they're not more popular, they deserve some credit.

    A truly amazing 45 minutes of Clayhill at the Kings Place festival yesterday but sadly it was also announced as being their last show :-( A little more info on the Beth Orton website http://www.beth-orton.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=932%3Aclayhill-gig-on-the-5th-september-to-be-the-last&catid=43%3Alatest-news&Itemid=117 A very sad day if this proves to be so :-(
