Dear All:
Peace and Love to You.
This is an extensive update with news of some of the many activities which will be occurring over the next twelve months.
David Tibet and Current 93: October/November 2008 and what will occur then
October/November 2008 has been chosen as the focus for several major activities from David Tibet, Current 93 and Durtro Jnana. It will be the month of David's first solo art exhibition, which will take place at a gallery in central London. It will watch over the release of Current 93's new album. And it will finally mark the long-delayed release of ‘Under the Rain and Teeth of Gods’, David's book of lyrics and notes.
Please see the information below for full details on each of these areas, as well as details of the hand-printed book, signed by David to the recipient, which is being sent out free of charge to all those who paid in advance, so long ago, for ‘Under the Rain and Teeth of Gods’. This hand-printed edition is NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE, and is ONLY available to those who have so patiently waited for, and supported, David's book, and will NOT be available for retail or wholesale orders from Durtro nor elsewhere.
