The Smiths Indeed – Meat Is Murder 30 Anniversary Tour Saturday 7Th March at 8Pm Tickets £14 (Concessions £12.50) Box Office: 01905 611427 th The Smiths Indeed – Meat Is Murder 30 Anniversary Tour Saturday 7th March at 8pm Tickets £14 (Concessions £12.50) Box Office: 01905 611427 www.huntingdonhall.co.uk Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Meat Is Murder with the world's most popular Smiths tribute band - The Smiths Indeed. The Smiths Indeed formed in 2005, after a deceptively placed advertisement – “Singer needed to front smiths cover band. Must be talented. Gigs waiting” – caught the eye of an ambitious aficionado. The band consists of Smiths devotees, all of whom are talented professional musicians in their own right. But the band’s real trump card has to be a lead singer and frontman with uncannily similar vocal chords to Morrissey's – in spite of the fact that he was too young to have seen the Smiths himself the first time around. The Smiths Indeed don’t like to take themselves too seriously, but they are certainly serious about getting the music right. The band strives to transport audiences back to the eighties, accurately re-creating the experience of a Smiths concert both musically and vocally. After all, when paying tribute to a band described by critics as the most important alternative rock band to emerge from the British independent music scene of the 1980s, and named “most influential artist ever” in a 2002 NME poll (even topping The Beatles), it’s important to get it right. Having quickly gained a reputation for delivering excellent live shows, the band has now toured extensively around the UK, the USA and Europe, playing to full capacity audiences of Smiths fans old and new. Their current tour celebrates the 30th anniversary of The Smiths’ iconic second album, Meat Is Murder – the band’s only album (barring compilations) to reach number one in the UK charts, and the slightly more strident and political follow up to their debut, including the pro-vegetarian title track, the light-hearted republicanism of Nowhere Fast, and the anti-corporal punishment The Headmaster Ritual. The Smiths Indeed offer a fantastic night of nostalgia for those who remember those distant days in the mid-1980s when The Smiths lit up the world of popular music. For those who weren't even born then, or perhaps were otherwise engaged, this is a great opportunity to witness what it might have been like to see The Smiths live. Apportez vos fleurs.

  • The Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol J. Adams
    THE SEXUAL POLITICS OF MEAT A FEMINISTVEGETARIAN CRITICAL THEORY Praise for The Sexual Politics of Meat and Carol J. Adams “A clearheaded scholar joins the ideas of two movements—vegetari- anism and feminism—and turns them into a single coherent and moral theory. Her argument is rational and persuasive. New ground—whole acres of it—is broken by Adams.” —Colman McCarthy, Washington Post Book World “Th e Sexual Politics of Meat examines the historical, gender, race, and class implications of meat culture, and makes the links between the prac tice of butchering/eating animals and the maintenance of male domi nance. Read this powerful new book and you may well become a vegetarian.” —Ms. “Adams’s work will almost surely become a ‘bible’ for feminist and pro gressive animal rights activists. Depiction of animal exploita- tion as one manifestation of a brutal patriarchal culture has been explored in two [of her] books, Th e Sexual Politics of Meat and Neither Man nor Beast: Feminism and the Defense of Animals. Adams argues that factory farming is part of a whole culture of oppression and insti- tutionalized violence. Th e treatment of animals as objects is parallel to and associated with patriarchal society’s objectifi cation of women, blacks, and other minorities in order to routinely exploit them. Adams excels in constructing unexpected juxtapositions by using the language of one kind of relationship to illuminate another. Employing poetic rather than rhetorical techniques, Adams makes powerful connec- tions that encourage readers to draw their own conclusions.” —Choice “A dynamic contribution toward creating a feminist/animal rights theory.” —Animals’ Agenda “A cohesive, passionate case linking meat-eating to the oppression of animals and women .

  • Morrissey's Art and Persona As a Continuation of Oscar Wilde's Artistic
    Scripta Neophilologica Posnaniensia. Tom XX, strony: 249–261 Wydział Neofilologii, Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2020 DOI 10.14746/snp.2020.20.17 “OSCILLATE WILDLY”: MORRISSEY’S ART AND PERSONA AS A CONTINUATION OF OSCAR WILDE’S ARTISTIC LEGACY KAROLINA ADAMSKICH Abstract. The works of Oscar Wilde form a link between late Victorian and modernist literature. His art and wit have continued to exert a great influence on other artists. The art of Morrissey, a legendary poet and singer, may serve as a case in point. Thus, this paper aims at presenting Morrissey’s works and persona as a continuation of Oscar Wilde’s artistic legacy. The article presents their attitude to life and to the process of creation. In view of that, breaking with traditional moral code, the artists’ fascination with beauty, their defense of humanity and all possible freedoms, as well as earnestness of their works, is depicted as the key to the analysis of their art. Thus, the writers’ rebellion against society and modern life, along with propounding aestheticism, will be investigated in this paper. Key words: Oscar Wilde, Morrissey, aestheticism, modernist literature, indie rock Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde was born in 1854 in Dublin to Lady Jane Wilde and Sir William Wilde. Educated firstly at Portora Royal School in Enniskil- len, he received a scholarship to Trinity College and later on to Oxford. While at Oxford, he studied Classics, which was undoubtedly one of the reasons why he was professing the “doctrine of beauty”. Nevertheless, as Iain Ross (Ross 2013: 21) points out, “[t]he classical texts absorbed constituents of his developing self rather than instruments of academic advancement […]”.
