COMES THE ELECTRIC CIRCUS

Product Information

Due to the Electric Circus' poor state it was closed in 1977 after objections from the fire service and Manchester City Council. It re-opened again in 1978 as the New Electric Circus but its rebirth was short lived and the building was demolished by 1980 and replaced by housing. As nothing came of Frankie mk1 I’d hazard a guess that Ambrose sent the recordings (or some of his own maybe?) to John and used the name? Holly released at least one solo single between Frankie mk1 and 2 so there was a gap, it’s a pity I didn’t see if there was a date on the letter. Looking up Reynolds on Wikipedia shows that he was pretty active on the music scene around Liverpool, later teaming up with ex-Big In Japan vocalist Jayne Casey to form Pink Industry and starting Zulu Records together, but one paragraph stood out: Turns out, one lesson applies to living through illness, keeping the show on the road, letting go of the person you love most, and eating fire: Listen on IHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-the-electric-circus-the-ar-31040246/?cmp=android_share&sc=android_social_share&pr=false&fbclid=IwAR2u9bxBXiD1iKEryiABZk1xZGa9n7bKE20mIRDz-7_k_6-tkPrFrqwXiWU

An assured debut that doesn’t shy away from the task of holding the ordinary and otherworldly in its hand, at once. It’s herein that the book’s power lies . . . Throughout this narrative is the story of [Fontaine's] relationship with her mother, a story that is sometimes its own hard-to-watch sideshow act. Fontaine is unafraid to write the ugliness — the imperfect care and love — that takes place between people, and the memoir is most 'electric' when it doesn’t shy from that imperfection . . ." —Rachel Khong, The New York Times Book Review The venue was originally the Palace Cinema, then the Top Hat Club run by Bernard Manning and then a bingo hall. It became a heavy metal club in the 1970s until punk arrived there in 1976, [1] and Richard Boon [2] and Alan Robinson [3] started promoting nights there. However the building was in a poor state of repair and was closed in late 1977 due to objections from the fire service and Manchester City Council. [4] It re-opened briefly again in 1978 [5] as the New Electric Circus but by 1980 the building was demolished and replaced by housing. [6]After her mother suffered a terrible stroke, leaving her severely incapacitated, the author ran off to join the circus, where she ate fire, handled a boa constrictor and even swallowed swords. Fontaine braids these experiences, of losing her mother and performing in a sideshow, into an elegant narrative." — Watertown Daily Times The Electric Circus was a nightclub located at 19-25 St. Marks Place between Second and Third Avenues in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, [1] from 1967 to August 1971. The club was created by Jerry Brandt, Stanton J. Freeman and their partners and designed by Chermayeff & Geismar. [2] With its invitation (from one of its press releases) to "play games, dress as you like, dance, sit, think, tune in and turn on," and its mix of light shows, music, circus performers and experimental theater, the Electric Circus embodied the wild and creative side of 1960s club culture. Marvellous . . . [Fontaine's] account of her coming-of-age summer on the road is filled with small miracles." — BBC

The book touches on several themes that are central to modern life, including the struggle to find one's place in the world and the idea of illusion and spectacle. The protagonist's sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction is a common experience for many young adults, making the book highly relatable. The circus serves as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of happiness and the often-unreliable nature of our perceptions, adding depth and complexity to the book's themes. She’s nineteen and about to climb onto a surfer’s shoulders out in the turquoise waters of a Hawaiian beach. Her name is Teresa.

The big room was completely decorated with fabric amorphously draped on walls and spanning corners and cornices. Projectors behind the fabric ran continuous short loops of films. Of course it was dimly lit so as not to wash out the films. People were everywhere and moved mysteriously in the smoky dim light. I was born in Brooklyn and had already lived a few years in Manhattan, but I never saw anything like this before. The next time I saw EC the decor had changed.

If you've ever dreamed of running away to join the circus, this is the book you need to read." — Patch Vivid and hallucinatory, joyful and disturbing—one of the most creative memoirs I’ve encountered." —Susannah Cahalan, The New York Post While Debra Madden said: "We would go there early just as the doors opened so would often see people pre-gig." Adding: "As a 15 -16 year old it was daunting walking up the seedy street and staircase into the hall. So exciting though, and brilliant to have been growing up in Manchester and hanging out at the Underground Market, Belle Vue and many gig venues." This is the story of a daughter and her mother. It’s also a memoir, a love story, and a tale of high-flying stunts. It recounts an adventure toward and through fear as Tessa Fontaine performs as an escape artist, fire-eater, and snake charmer with the World of Wonders, a traveling sideshow." — Southern Living a b c Gansberg, Martin (August 8, 1971).
