Bell Practice began at the end of the summer of '24, formed by Earl Cave (vocals, piano, guitar) and Mimiko McVeigh (vocals, bass).

'The Rebel is a film starring Tony Hancock as an idiot who wishes he could be an artist and that is why Ben Wallers took the pseudonym circa 1999 when his attempts to be famous as the songwriter of Country Teasers continued to yield only shrivelled poisonous fruit despite a lot of hard work unpaid by at least 7 bandmates. The Rebel has released about 30 or 40 albums but it could be 50 or 60, we've lost count. Difficult to believe it could be 60 but if you include Country Teasers albums and estimate 3 per year since 1989 that's 25 minus 89 equals 36 times 3 equals 90 no thats ridiculous anyway you can look it up on Bandcamp. Other important details include that The Rebel was in The Male Nurse, The Devil and The Company, none of which bands, also Country Teasers, have ever actually split up so don't be surprised to find them all on the bill at this year's All Of Tomorrow's Parties, the music festival in Cornwall based on The Velvet Underground album of the same name. Sorry i can't think of anything else!'

James Heath is a multidisciplinary artist from Croydon (b.1990, St Helier Hospital, Sutton), performing with Tom Phillips (Most Things, Birdfeeder) and Lewis Pick (Green Thumb).
