A Wet Paint Auction is being held this Saturday, October 7th, 2006 in support of the newly-founded Kaleidoscope Arts Foundation, the proceeds of which will be used towards the renovation and rebuilding of the foundation’s new home – at the former Elliott School on Jubilee Road.

"The idea behind this event, is that participants will spend the day creating works of art around Hamilton, which will then be auctioned off to the public that evening," Ms Rodriguez Roberts said.

Heather Nova is among a number of artists who have agreed to participate; artists Graham Foster, Jo Birdsey-Linberg and Gabriela Brunner also plan to donate already completed art pieces to the auction.

In France, a sampler "Ouï FM Rock Acoustic" with acoustic sessions recorded at Ouï FM radio was released on August 28th 2006 on the french V2 label, record number VVR1039222. It contains acoustic songs from Stereophonics and Placebo to Mercury Rev. Heather contributed an acoustic version of Wicked Game (originally by Chris Isaak). Heather played Motherland as well at her acoustic session, but this song is not on this album. The acoustic session with Heather Nova was recorded already in 2005.
You can order the CD for example on amazon.fr (http://www.amazon.fr/oui-fm-rock-acoustic-Compilation/dp/B000EQHTH2/) or fnac.com (http://www.fnac.com/Shelf/article.asp?PRID=1867564). The song is also on French iTunes.

One of Heather Nova's concerts at German's famous Rockpalast will be aired on German TV channel "WDR Fernsehen" on sunday night, March 12th, starting at 0:30 MET. They will show more than 10 bands and singers during the 2.5 hours, so they will not show full sets, maybe just two or three songs. The broadcast is called "Best of Rocknights 1990-2005".

As the broadcast is actually after midnight, it's technically on the day where Heather Nova plays her first gig in 2006 (March 13th).


(information by the website of German's tv channel "WDR Fernsehen")

There is a very interesting interview with Heather Nova in today's Bermuda Sun newspaper (online edition).

You can read it here on Bermuda Sun's website. Also, you can discuss it here.

Heather Nova was tonight on the German TV show "RTL Comedy Nacht" by RTL with a performance of "Welcome". Unfortunately, the performance was shortened to 1:40 minutes, the middle part was cut out by RTL, so in fact it was just the first few seconds, then cut, and then a bit more than the last minute of the song. The performance was with the complete band and surprisingly Dick, Heather's tour manager, on keyboard.

Although it was announced, Heather played no sketch in that TV Show.

The broadcast was first scheduled for October 15th, but delayed to November 5th.

The local TV channel TV Rostock will air on wednesday, october 19th an interview and the live recording of "Redbird" and "Heart And Shoulder" from the gig in Rostock's Scandlines Arena (october 15th, 2005). You probably can order that TV broadcast next week from their website for 18 Euros plus shipping. We hopefully can provide you more details soon.

Description: THIS GUITAR FEATURED ON THE COVER OF HEATHER'S ALBUM 'SOUTH' AND WAS LATER SIGNED BY HEATHER. IT WAS A GUITAR HEATHER WROTE SOME OF HER EARLY MATERIAL ON, BUT IS NO LONGER A GOOD QUALITY PLAYING GUITAR ! IT'S PRETTY WORN OUT, OF MORE USE TO A COLLECTOR THAN A PLAYING MUSICIAN. It's a mexican acoustic currently with 5 of the 6 strings on. As an additional part of this auction, I'm also including the dress Heather wore on the cover of the album 'South'. it has also been signed by her. The reason for the sale of these Items is a clear out of my Studio, and the guitar is no longer a 'players instrument' Items can be collected at any upcoming Heather Nova concert (you can be on the guest list), which may be easier than posting, although Shipping is fine.

i am now putting the finishing touches on my new album and am hoping to have it out in september. it is quite different to the last one - a bigger sound, more experimental.
