Mr Bill Drummond on Film in Dumfries

an EXCLUSIVE from our friends over at The Commonty:

Last week we posted a wee film by John Wallace about his attempts to discover what Bill Drummond said in Dumfries when he performed his lecture 'Why Andy Warhol is Shite' at Greyfriars Church on November 8th as part of The Stove's Inbetween:Dumfries event. Bill Drummond is notoriously camera shy (as John found out) - but today The Commonty received an anonymous package containing film footage of Bill Drummond apparently on the Auld Brig in Dumfries.....there is no explanation with the footage and we can only assume that either Bill was practicing for his performance, or that this was one of his legendary acts of contrariness to give a filmed interview to a stranger (or even one of the things a previous audience had voted that he should do?)

Either which way, we are truly grateful to our anonymous film-maker and present for your pleasure - exclusive footage of Mr Bill Drummond telling us why he believes Andy Warhol is Shite:

What Did Bill Drummond Say in Dumfries?

World renowned contemporary artist Bill Drummond was in Dumfries last week where he presented a performance lecture called 'Why Andy Warhol is Shite'. Eaglesfield film maker John Wallace was there that evening, but was ejected from the venue on Mr Drummond's insistence that his work not be recorded in any way. 

Here is Wallace's film about his attempts to discover what truths Bill Drummond was bestowing upon Doonhamers last Thursday night:
