MAXIMO APPEAL

• 27th Apr 2005

This is a personal appeal on behalf of Paul Smith, singer of Maximo Park. On 25th April, after the Maximo Park gig at Northumbria University, Paul misplaced his bag containing several items of personal significance – the most devestating loss being his Red Book, containing song lyrics to the “A Certain Trigger” album, poetry, and various other writings representing his life's work.

We're desperate to get this bag and its contents back, so we're appealing for your help, especially those of you near the Cooperage along the quayside in Newcastle, where the bag was last seen.

The bag is a white linen Japanese “soft-boy” and contained the following:

– Paul's RED BOOK containing his life's work: lyrics to the album, poetry,
etc.
– polaroids and drawings
– Kafka and Camus books
– wallet and keys

…basically his LIFE.

If you can help please contact Colin at Streetfeat Management on
mail or +44 (0) 208 964 1917

You will be rewarded with tickets to any MAXIMO PARK show you want plus a huge hug from Paul!
