Rare London number for Brown phenomenon

Sources have confirmed that beat maestros diego brown and the good fairy are to make a rare London appearance in January.

The so solid two, as fans have dubbed them, play the grand opening of a brand new club called Catch 22 near London's famous Old Street tube station on Wednesday 22 January 2003.

Interestingly the date also marks the 99th anniversary of the death of the French mathematical genius Georges Salmon (right). Having discovered the 27 lines on a cubic surface, Salmon grew disillusioned with maths and became a knife-throwing act with the infamous Jacques Straw's Traveling Circus. He died in squalor in Dublin surrounded by his seven children, four boys and two girls.

Catch 22 is a new venture by run by the people who run The Spitz. It will be specialising in special music. "That's why they asked diego brown and the good fairy to open it," said Friedright Angles on Friday. "Come along and help make it special. You'll get to hear three bands, with diego brown and the good fairy headlining at around 10pm," he added. "And because it's new you can probably guarantee there's no sick in the sinks. All for a measly few quid," he went on.

diego brown and the good fairy - because life's short enough without maths

Notes for editors: 1. According to the history books, "Georges Salmon enumerated the 27 lines on the cubic surface. He also made many discoveries about ruled surfaces and other surfaces, including the idea of the normal singularities of an algebraic surface. As was typical of the time Salmon's work showed a lack of concern with complete rigour."
