Farewell 2009... | 10 December 2009

Happy Christmas Everybody,

It's been an exciting year for Jawbone, paticularly regarding events. Richie Unterberger spent a few weeks in the UK over the summer and introduced the idea of library events to us. With Richie as a guinea pig we impressed ourselves with the number of people that turned up, enjoyed the videos of The Velvet Underground and best of all bought signed copies of the book we were promoting. Selling out shops and getting 100 people into a library gallery space was wonderful. Continue reading to hear what we have been up to with Bill Bruford Having learnt the ropes from Richie we then set about doing the same with the humble, erudite and always pleasant drummer. After authoring a compilation DVD of Bill's finest moments fom his 40 year career the intrepid drummer and the Jawbone publicist set out on the open road, filling Crouch End library with 130 people and selling lots and lots of signed books. So thanks to Richie and Bill for making the Jawbone events such a pleasure.
