The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme

As thoughts turn to South Africa next summer, it's just too tempting not to role out this World Cup classic, The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme from...Colourbox, who were on the 4AD record label in the 1980s.



Aside from this gem, Colourbox also formed one half of M|A|R|R|S, a 1987 one-off collaboration with A.R. Kane which became "a one-hit wonder of rare influence" recording dance classic "Pump Up the Volume", considered to be the first UK number one to contain samples from other songs and nominated for a Grammy Award in 1989.

News: Footy on the Cote D'Azur - Looking for Eric

The Cannes Film Festival kicked off yesterday.

Not normally a fixture to make most football calendars.

But then, it’s not often that a footy related film goes head to head with movies from the likes of Quentin Tarantino and Oscar winning Jane Campion in competition for the Palme D’Or.

“Looking for Eric” is Bath City fan-Bath City shareholder-and legendary film director - Ken Loach’s latest film.

It tells the story of Man United obsessed postman Eric Bishop - who, left to bring up his two stepsons, lurches from one personal crisis to another - and his imaginary friend, Eric Cantona (played by King Eric himself).

Like all Loach’s work, Looking for Eric is reportedly about everyday characters and their struggles to keep their lives together, albeit it with a lightness and humour to the film that has been absent in much of Loach's recent output.

It opens in the UK on June 12th and this is why we’re keen to see it....

Ken has already directed one of the best football scenes in cinema history, in Kes where games teacher Mr Sugden institutes a match between 'Manchester United' and 'Tottenham Hotspur', with himself as referee and star player.



Looking for Eric stars John Henshaw - a legend for his role as Ken in Last Orders.



Whether one is a fan of his or not, Cantona is a character who Ken (the director, not the landlord) has said enjoys taking the mickey out of his public persona and it will be interesting to see how this collaboration works.
