June 27, 2009: Famous Jonny Mambo has a radio show called “Mojo Ballroom” on WCOM FM, Carrboro, North Carolina.
It will be an all XTC/Andy Partridge show this Tuesday, June 30, 2009,
from 10pm to midnight. WCOM is an all-volunteer, non-profit,
community-oriented radio station and a labor of love. The show should appeal
to both hardcore and new XTC fans.

June 11, 2009: Paul Wilde writes, “I'm now looking at an XTC 20th Anniversary Music
and Friends Convention early 2010, venue TBC, in Manchester, UK. I have
the archive material and now looking for a suitable venue. I'm looking at
making it a special event worthy of the group and fellow fans. I feel well
equipped to stage the event having the experience of organising the original
set between 89 - 93. As content I have down to include archive XTC interviews,
a live recording of XTC from Andy's shed plus all the rare music videos! ALSO
'live music' and an XTC DISCO through to the early hours! ALL THIS PLUS a
celebration of Ape House! Anyone interested please contact me at: wildecartoons

Chalkhills is a web resource and mail list dedicated
to XTC (the now defunct band). Surf Chalkhills to find a wealth of
information about XTC, their music and recordings, and much more. Chalkhills
is frequently updated (I get bored) so check back often. Chalkhills is the
longest extant XTC web site, first hacked together by me, John Relph, in May 1994; FTP archives were first
available in April 1991.
