PRESS RELEASE – MARCH 2016 – NEW SHOW & ALBUM ANNOUNCEMENT PRESS RELEASE ISSUE DATE: MARCH 2016 ALL MEDIA – UK & AUSTRALIA [words: 488; characters inc. spaces: 2,880] PDF & txt download: http://karenjwhite.com.au/karen-j-white_media.html Karen J White, an idiosyncratic performer favouring the quirky and unusual, announces she is preparing for her next show and album “A Tribute to the Music of Kirsty MacColl” to tour both in Australia and the UK starting in 2016. A long time inspiration to Karen Kirsty’s music has been a major draw card to her. Recent attendances to “Kirstyfest” [an annual event (October) starting in Soho Square London] along with calls from Karen’s following has inspired her to create a performance as a tribute to Kirsty’s music. Indeed Karen has some 50 odd of Kirsty’s songs in her repertoire and has already covered some in her existing albums and her “Quintessential Quirk” shows. Whilst Karen’s “A Tribute to the Music of Kirsty MacColl” show solely reflects on Kirsty’s great career the songs will be showcased by Karen in Karen’s own, often quirky, style. Karen says “whilst the overall theme will remain each show will be different both in terms of song content and supporting artists*1 – in some instances I will be performing solo, others as a duo/trio, and where I can a full band; today economics dictate that few performers can afford to travel with a full compliment of players and crew, instead relying upon a trusted pool of talented musicians/performers local to the venue.” Like Kirsty Karen was born in England in the 50s. Also similar is their love of a good story line and precise diction to deliver it and, as an aside, coincidentally Karen’s son is also called Louis [White]. Page: 1/2 karen_j_white-kirsty_maccoll-show-media_release-1604-v3.docx PRESS RELEASE – MARCH 2016 – NEW SHOW & ALBUM ANNOUNCEMENT Currently with the help of some enthusiastic members of Facebook’s “Kirsty MacColl Fan Gang” Karen is whittling down the cache of Kirsty songs to be included in her pot for the shows. So far 11 have secured a place to feature in Karen’s new supporting album - these are:- Caroline, My Affair, Dear John, Terry, In These Shoes?, The Butcher Boy, A New England, Innocence, Still Life, All I Ever Wanted and Fairytale of New York. This new album is being produced with Nigel Pegrum of Pegasus Studios [Cairns, Australia - Nigel Pegrum formerly drummer with Steeleye Span and the Barron Knights amongst others]. As with the shows the album will be licensed with APRA/AMCOS and/or PRS. It is anticipated that the album will be released in Australia during May 2016 with the pilot shows following shortly after. At the time of writing the UK launch is set for August 2016 with the UK pilot shows following through until October. Karen’s 2017 show programme will be written based around the success of the album, pilot shows and other commitments. Watch Karen’s website and/or Facebook Page for updates. *1 Karen is interested in hearing from Australian and UK session musicians who can demonstrate skill and aptitude towards Kirsty’s songs and who would welcome the chance to perform alongside Karen as a supporting artist – terms and conditions will vary to suit the demands of each venue. for CONTENT information contact Karen … +61 418 183 003; [email protected]; facebook.com/quirkykaren. for MARKETING related information contact John White … +61 408 151 355; [email protected]. for biography information on Kirsty MacColl visit … en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirsty_MacColl and kirstymaccoll.com Page: 2/2 karen_j_white-kirsty_maccoll-show-media_release-1604-v3.docx .

A DESPERATE CHARACTER, and OTHER STORIES by Ivan Turgenev Translated from the Russian by Constance Garnett
A DESPERATE CHARACTER, AND OTHER STORIES By Ivan Turgenev Translated from the Russian By Constance Garnett 1899 TO JOSEPH CONRAD WHOSE ART IN ESSENCE OFTEN RECALLS THE ART AND ESSENCE OF TURGENEV INTRODUCTION The six tales now translated for the English reader were written by Turgenev at various dates between 1847 and 1881. Their chronological order is:— Pyetushkov, 1847 The Brigadier, 1867 A Strange Story, 1869 Punin and Baburin, 1874 Old Portraits, 1881 A Desperate Character, 1881 Pyetushkov is the work of a young man of twenty-nine, and its lively, unstrained realism is so bold, intimate, and delicate as to contradict the flattering compliment that the French have paid to one another—that Turgenev had need to dress his art by the aid of French mirrors. Although Pyetushkov shows us, by a certain open naïveté of style, that a youthful hand is at work, it is the hand of a young master, carrying out the realism of the ‘forties’—that of Gogol, Balzac, and Dickens— straightway, with finer point, to find a perfect equilibrium free from any bias or caricature. The whole strength and essence of the realistic method has been developed in Pyetushkov to its just limits. The Russians are instinctive realists, and carry the warmth of life into their pages, which warmth the French seem to lose in clarifying their impressions and crystallising them in art. Pyetushkov is not exquisite: it is irresistible. Note how the reader is transported bodily into Pyetushkov’s stuffy room, and how the major fairly boils out of the two pages he lives in! (pp.

Obituaries & Tributes to Kirsty Maccoll
Obituaries & Tributes to Kirsty MacColl in the British and Irish media Philp Chevron (Hot Press) Jan Fairley (Guardian) Frances Dickinson (Guardian) Billy Bragg (fRoots) Neil Spencer (The Observer) Matthew Norman (Evening Standard) Keith Sinclair (The Herald) David Belcher (The Herald) Jack McLean (The Herald) James Wickham (Croydon Advertiser) Tim de Lisle (Mail on Sunday) The Guardian Ian Cranna (Q) Chris Welch (The Guardian) The Times Uncut Official statement of Kirsty’s death HOT PRESS South Of France, 1988: The jacket, with its silver and black chevrons, had pleaded with me from the window for two days, like some whimpering puppy in a pet shop. Finally, the jacket and the contents of Monsieur's wallet changed hands. On parade in the dressing room later, Kirsty took time out from the ritual, therapeutic construction of her hairdo to cast a doubtful eye over the garment. Her face brightened as she isolated the cause of her unease: with a single tug, the eminent designer's name, ostentatiously attached to the left sleeve, was among the debris in an adjacent ashtray. "Now," she announced, "you got yourself a jacket!" I still have. In The Pogues. we were fortunate that Kirsty accompanied us on tour as often as her priorities (her boys, Jamie and Louis) allowed. Unmistakably, the tour bus was a classier joint with her on board, as she genuinely brought out the best in everyone. Hotel bars at four in the morning were good too: a solicitous Kirsty holding forth - to whichever Pogue she had not yet managed to drink under the table - about the dangers of The Lifestyle.

His father, Josiah Franklin, was a tallow chandler who married twice, and of his seventeen children Benjamin was the youngest son. His schooling ended at ten, and at twelve he was bound apprentice to his brother James, a printer, who published the "New England Courant." To this journal he became a contributor, and later was for a time its nominal editor. But the brothers quarreled, and Benjamin ran away, going first to New York, and thence to Philadelphia, where he arrived in October, 1723. He soon obtained work as a printer, but after a few months he was induced by Governor Keith to go to London, where, finding Keith's promises empty, he again worked as a compositor till he was brought back to Philadelphia by a merchant named Denman, who gave him a position in his business.
