In 1992, just a year after forming the Rain, Oasis had gotten the chance to play on a regional TV show. The performance took place on July 18th, 1992 for an event called The Blackpool Roadshow, who had won a contract to supply programming to the annual ITV telethon. The nature of this broadcast has remained a mystery, due to sparse and sometimes misleading information regarding the broadcast (including in Tony McCarroll's book Oasis: The Truth, where he mistakenly refers to this event as "Granada Red Nose Day 1993", despite Red Nose Day being broadcast by the BBC).

According to McCarroll, Oasis performed at the Granada Studios using the host's gear. After a few drinks at the Rover's Return Pub, they went onstage to a small audience of about 12 Granada staff, some members of the Salvation Army and a local school choir (some of whom were supposedly were frightened by frontman Liam Gallagher's aggressive stare). A short while later, the cameras began to record and the host, Alvin Stardust, came out, introducing Oasis as having "just flown back to be with us from their tour."

To which Liam replied, "We've just come from Burnage, dickhead. We ain't on fuckin' tour," causing the crowd to laugh. The frontman stared the host offstage, and the band began to mime along to a tape of their early song "Take Me". After the performance, the band began to round up their crew and head offstage when they were almost hit by a jeep. This caused Liam to become annoyed and shout, "The fuck you think you're doing, dickhead?"

The driver (actor Simon Gregson) replied with an obscene gesture. Upon seeing this, Liam ran up to the car, which was stopped at the gate to the studio. The security guard opened the gate at the last minute.

When Jeremy began the Granada series, he says he felt Holmes tried to take him over.

"My wife told me I should go back to the hotel every night (after filming) and have a celebration to get rid of [Sherlock Holmes]."

"I would wash that man right out of my hair, escape his black-and-whiteness by putting on a red sweater -- and down a half bottle of champagne. After two more series it took me a whole bottle of champagne every night. And then I understood why Holmes took cocaine -- to rest his speeding brain so he could sleep."

GOetry - A Spanish Flamenco

For the third week of the GOetry world tour, we're heading to Spain! But before we begin, let’s take in the beauty of Spain itself. 

Wander through Seville and visit the stunning Plaza de España before strolling through the lively streets of Barcelona, where Gaudí’s masterpieces ignite the imagination. Fall in love with the breathtaking Alhambra palace in Granada and then we can dance the night away in Spain’s capital city of Madrid. 

From the surreal mosaics of Park Güell to the sun-kissed vineyards of La Rioja, Spain has long been a land of art, rhythm, and deep emotion. And, of course, what would Spain be without Flamenco? This week, we embrace the raw emotion and musicality of Flamenca poetry, a form that beats with the heart and soul of traditional Flamenco music.

This week’s prompt:

Form: Flamenca

Theme: Dance

What is Flamenca Poetry?

The flamenca is a Spanish quintain (or 5-line stanza) form with a staccato rhythm meant to replicate the click of heels by flamenco dancers. The flamenca goes by a few other names, including seguidilla gitana (or Gypsy seguidilla), playera, and/or sequiriya.

Here are basic guidelines of the flamenca:

5 lines

lines 1, 2, 4, and 5 have 6 syllables

line 3 has 5 syllables

lines 2 and 5 assonate 

Example:

I stamp and click my heels

marking beats with my feet

swirling scarlet skirts

His Spanish eyes see me

Then, we have ten children

I adore your Phantomhive family au <3 to the point that while making a scrapbook I had the thought of Sebastian and Ciel taking Charlotte to the Phantomhive manor years after leaving and then coming back to England. Maybe it’s a historical museum now and take a tour or go in after hours. They take their daughter back to her childhood home and show her around while also mocking any information on the house that’s absolutely incorrect.

Also I’d love to hear what they actually do with the manor in your au.

Hope you don’t mind this, but it made me smile and I felt like I should share.

Ahhhhh sorry for the late reply. I had been sick for 2 weeks and my grandma died lol (here’s a Charlotte WIP for you 😘)

I think the Phantomhives in general go around the world and mocks misinformation in museums/books as a hobby. Sebastian and Ciel started it; and then Charlotte just kinda joined in. They’ve all lived so long.

Ciel would start picking up several languages as well. He enjoys translating literary works and does it in his free time to keep his mind from being idle. He also watched every adaptation of Sherlock Holmes on TV and in Cinema as soon as they came out, but he’s rather ruthless in his critique. (His favorite iteration is the Granada version, ofc!)

As for the estate, it remains under the Phantomhive’s ownership still. Some forged paper here and there passing it down to imaginary descendants to keep it in the family; but it is never lived in. Rumor has it that the mansion is haunted. Despite never seen lit from the inside, the place remains in pristine condition. The grass is trimmed and watered. Flowers bloom. Some teenagers attempted to vandalize the place all came back scared, feverish and uttering nonsenses. Local knows better to meddle with it. Occasionally, ghost hunters broke into the premise for some viral footage; all of their equipment somehow malfunctioned. Those who were brave enough to spend the night talks of seeing a man in butler outfit holding a lit candelabra politely asking them to leave, only to wakes up finding all their luggage packed and themselves halfway through the main entrance. In the end, they all settled to admire the Phantomhive’s seat from afar…

…Until a fortnight ago. On one stormy night, neighboring houses reported seeing light shining through the Phantomhive’s windows; and not just from a few rooms like someone was trespassing, no. The whole place lit up in all its glory like the palatial structure that it was in its prime. And look! Smoke rising from the chimney, welcoming its beloved Lord or Lady’s return.

Another fortnight went by before the rumors made it round around the small town: The Phantomhive’s manor residents consisted of a Child, a Black-clad man, and a fine young lady.

Months before I left for my trip to Granada, Spain, I was hit with a stroke of extraordinary luck: Hoopoe Press asked if I'd like to get a review copy of the new, full translation of Radwa Ashour's Granada trilogy, a multigenerational epic of Arabic literature describing the fall of Muslim rule in medieval Spain and the impact it had on real families in the city of Granada and throughout Andalusia. Um...YES I wanted one! This is the first time the entire trilogy has been available in English translation, thanks to translator Kay Heikkinen; the entire series comes in an impressively compact package, complete with a foreword by Marina Warner.

I'm only one novel in, and am just starting sequel Marayama now, but trust me: the first book, at the very least, is an absolute must-read. For anyone interested in Muslim life in Spain, or anyone visiting Granada, sure, because it's astounding historical fiction, but truly for anyone who loves a good multigenerational novel (and I know there are a bunch of you following me). Populated by bold, subversive female protagonists and a poetic narrative about the pain and suffering of seeing your culture be suppressed and erased, this first novel was simply excellent (and I have two books to go!).

I'll come back and hype this one up again when I'm done with the trilogy, but I wanted to let you know about it now, because it comes out November 5...And because I mentioned it in every other sentence when my family and I were touring the city of Granada and its oldest neighborhoods. I felt like I knew that much more about the Albaycín thanks to Ashour's fantastic writing and its excellent translation. Go put it on hold!

Alhambra palace in Granada Spain. The students were getting a private tour where we were not allowed to enter. It must have been so much fun for them.

[baudouinette]

*will actually fly to Sevilla and go to the Real Alcázar where some scenes were filmed and take as many photos as I can

Haven’t gone to Sevilla since I was a kiddo so it’d be fun to go just for a historical tour tbh and travel further to the Alhambra in Granada, and Córdoba too!
