'K Fountain'?!? Water laugh! :-) http://icderry.icnetwork.co.uk/news/localnews/content_objectid=14016474_ method=full_siteid=66002_headline=-Music-Legend-To-Cook-Soup-In-NW- Homes-name_page.html Music Legend To Cook Soup In NW Homes Mar 5 2004 A MUSIC figure who famously burnt £1M on a Scottish island could be coming to a kitchen near you - that's if you want him to, of course! For people living in Burnfoot in Donegal and Dungiven in the North are being asked to invite former KLF band member Bill Drummond to their homes to make a pot of soup. The madcap idea is all part of The Soup Line - a project which will be taking place as part of this year's Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival in Belfast (April 29 - May 9) Bill Drummond is a name which is relatively unfamiliar to the press and public, yet he has enjoyed world-wide success with a number of musical endeavours. He has used the written word, pop music and actions to investigate and converse with the cultural landscape since leaving Liverpool College of Art in 1973. His most famous action was with the K Fountain when he burnt one million pounds on an island in Scotland. In June 2003, Bill launched his latest project by taking a map of Britain and Ireland and drawing a line across it so it cut through Belfast, Nottingham and Donegal. He named it The Soup Line. The former Echo and the Bunnymen manager now wants anybody living in those towns, including residents in Burnfoot, Dungiven and Maghera, to invite him to their home to make soup for their families and close friends. Bill is available to come between April 30 and May 6 when he's based in Belfast as part of the annual Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival. "He's brings all his own ingredients and utensils, you provide the liquid refreshments and the welcome. "If asked why he's doing this, Bill Drummond is likely to answer 'because its a friendly thing to do," said a festival organiser. "If you live in any of the areas mentioned and would like Bill Drummond to come to your house and make soup for you and your family and friends during the first week of the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival. Send him an email to soupline@penkiln-burn.com or contact the festival office on 02890232403. The Soup Line also passed through Rosapenna, Carrigans, Inch in Donegal and Belfast Comber and Portavogie in the North.
