Chalkhills is a web resource 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 was
created by me, John Relph, and is infrequently
updated (I am often busy with other things) so check back often. Chalkhills
was the longest extant XTC mailing list, created in April 1989 as an offshoot
of the venerable Love-Hounds list and killed off (in a bizarre kitchen
accident, of course) in August 2014. Chalkhills is the longest extant XTC web
site, first hacked together in May 1994, although FTP archives were first made
available in April 1991.
