The Dogs D'Amour are Back - And Not on the Juice 

'The original bluesy glam rock ‘n’ rollers - The Dogs D’amour - are back in all their glory, not ‘Back on the Juice’ as one of their songs once told but back on tour and in the studio some twenty years on.'

Voice-over

Voice-over on the Title Track of The Man Left in Space by Cosmograf

Credited as Katharine Thompson on the album.

 

"The title track The Man Left In Space shows Armstrong at his most creative through using some very Bowie-esque influences which he infuses into the song's framework, his inventory of instruments stretching to the stylophone in this instance with D'Virgilio as his only guest here. It is a superbly measured song which ends with a 10cc I'm Not In Love moment, Katharine Thompson taking the part of The Girl He Left Behind." Alison Henderson, DPRP

Livin' Out Rock n Roll - The Movie 


‘Livin’ Out Rock ‘n’ Roll’ is the story of The Babysitters (and The Last of the Teenage Idols), arguably the best “worst rock ‘n’ roll band in the world.” Lovingly hand-made, in true Punk rock style by Paolo Sedazarri, the film brings to life the chaos and the humour in a series of hilarious laugh-out-loud anecdotes told by the former band members, some 30 years on.
