Fridays are becoming difficult for me to post on the blog, so thinking about switching to Mondays and Thursdays. Let’s see how this goes.

A beadle, sometimes spelled bedel, is an official who may usher, keep order, make reports, and assist in religious functions; or a minor official who carries out various civil, educational or ceremonial duties on the manor.

Here’s a good mystery…

“Too Beautiful” is the name of a 1992 song by a band called The Beadles. It is on Soundcloud on the account of someone whose username is Souvlakiman. That’s not very helpful, right?

There’s some little detail though. It says that this recording was one of the first he did in Birdsong Studio in Lincolnshire.

I have looked for this studio on Google but couldn’t find it. Perhaps it doesn’t exist anymore.

Did the band hail from Lincolnshire too? I’d like to guess if that was the case that the band was from a city that is not too obscure. Perhaps Lincoln, Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Boston, right?

One thing that I notice, as Souvlakiman has uploaded many more songs, is that it seems that he lives in Greece now (maybe that’s why he uses that nickname?). It seems he has played in the island of Lesvos just last year, in July 22, at Alepou Cafe bar in the Eressos beachfront. He adds a name there though, Steve. Maybe that is his name? No last name sadly. Hard to find him this way.

Another set of recordings mention that he is doing a movie about this same beach, Eressos, in Lesvos. The movie is called “O Eressos Mou”. But most importantly he says that he made a song celebrating the promotion of Scunthorpe United. I think it was a good guess then that The Beadles hailed from Scunthorpe then?

Well, and that’s all I could gather about them. No other band members names. No other recordings. Who would know more about this early nineties project?
