Other Bevis Frond Sources:

Ptolemaic Terrascope is a magazine initiated and published by Nick Saloman, and includes a lot of reviews and interviews with alternative bands.

Here you can also find an interview with Nick held in 1994/95. Note that Ptolemaic Terrascope is not a Bevis Frond fanzine, but a magazine covering a much wider range of (alternative) music than most other magazines.

See the Ptolemaic Terrascope Website for more information.

Woronzow is the record company of Nick Saloman (Woronzow is named after Woronzow Road in St Johns Wood London where Nick grew up.).
Woronzow has also other interesting artists in their scope including Adrian Shaw Tom Rapp and The Green Pajamas.

For the record collectors amongst us, here is a list of the Woronzow Catalogue.

The On-Line Guitar Archive OLGA has Guitar Tabs on some Bevis Frond songs (Close, Coming Round, Corinthian, Day One, Down In The Well, High In A Flat, Lights Are Changing, London Stone, Motherdust, On A Liquid Wheel, You Saw Me Coming)
Unfortunately the OLGA site has closed!, but still accessible. Due to threats of legal action from the Harry Fox Agency, the OLGA has closed down and is no longer offering updates to the archive. For complete details on what has happened, please visit the OLGA home page at www.olga.net.

More tabs can be found on Guitarboard.com
