Vendetta Chosen For Baxters

A new set work called Vendetta has been chosen for this year's Baxters Soup Contest on the pavement outside Blockbusters in Chapel Risley on Sunday 7th October.

The piece is the brain child of talented young composer Lacey Pingpong, who said, "I've always been enthralled by the James Bond movies. Not the shit ones with Roger Moore, but the good ones with Shaun Connery in".

"Anyway, all the modern Bond films seem to have him not just saving the world single-handedly but also everybody being worried about him going off on some sort of personal vendetta. I think the whole thing started in Goldeneye but it definitely also happened in all the ones with the new guy in it. You know, him out of Layer Cake?"

The piece has three movements, Man With The Golden Gun Bossa Nova, Moneypenny's Silk Purse and Moonraker's Moondance.

Tickets are priced at £18 but, to be honest, if you're on the pavement outside Blockbusters in Chapel Risley on 7th October you can probably just hang around and listen for nowt.

It should be a cracking contest!
