Thanks For The Gig Tonight!

Just a huge thank you to everyone who was involved (big or small) in todays concert at St John's Heatherlands!! Special thanks to Andy Hancock on lighting, Pete Alcocks on sound and all of the team at St John's (especially Mike & Gerry who put up with the band over the last couple of weeks planning and building the event). Also thanks to the Farside group from St Clements, Maverick Arts & Drama and Not About The Heroes who supported Oposium this evening.









And of course most importantly to everyone who danced ! !

The Oposium team would like to wish St John's Heatherlands every success in their future work - and that the next 40 years in childcare will be even more blessed than the 40 just celebrated!

THANK YOU!

Please do email us photos from the concert. You can email us on info@oposium.com. We'll get more photos as up online as we get them...

Peace always,
The Oposium Admin Team

Excited about St John's Heatherlands

Just a quick post to say that everyone at team Oposium are really excited about this Saturday's concert. It's turning into our biggest show yet - with masses of lights, all kinds of video projections and all kinds of different antics!

The banner is up outside the church, so you can't miss it! Although Scott and Richard narrowly escaped arrest Monday evening putting it up. Half an hour after starting to hoist it onto the church, a convoy of two police cars turned up after someone had "tipped the police off that there were people stealing roof leading". The policeman who spoke with Richard, Scott and another helper who had been roped in did come rapidly to the conclusion that no offence was being caused, and then reneged on asking for photo id when he saw the size of the heads on the banner!

Unfortunately, cds won't be on sale this Saturday as the consigment won't reach us until later next week, however the band do have a range of new badges to sell ! Life Under The Sun will be officially released on July 18th 2009 we can now confirm.

In other news, the band are considering an Eastern European approach and a rebranding of the band to Opošíům (pronounced Oposheeooom).

See you on Saturday ! 7pm, tickets are £3 each (or 4 for £10).

Peace always,
The Oposium Admin Team

Mr Hair goes Back to Basics

Always up for trying something different, Oposium's Mr Hair couldn't resist when offered the chance to try out an old Harmonium in Brownsea Island's parish church St Marys.



The instrument needs to be "pedalled" to keep the air going into it and then sound is made by pushing air through different reeds. It's like a cross between a accordion and an organ.

Not sure you'll see one at an Oposium gig though - although you never know!

In over news, Richard met London based photographer Mark Denton today in a chance meeting and was fortunate to have his photo taken on the beach. Look forward to seeing the result!
