Fresh up today on Spoken Label (Author / Artist Podcast) features an exclusive chat with Sheila Seal from the recently reformed 'The Man from Delmonte'.

The Man from Delmonte are an independent band from Manchester, England, formed in the mid-1980s.

Band members included Mike West (vocals and acoustic guitar), Sheila Seal (bass), Martin Vincent (guitar and harmonica), and Howard Goody (drums).

They took their name from a series of 1980s television advertisements for Del Monte fruit juices, featuring the "man from Del Monte". In these, the man would visit villages to sample their fruit juices, to see if they were good enough to be included in his company's drinks. The tagline, shouted jubilantly by a villager on approval was, "The man from Del Monte, he say 'Yes!'" and at one point they were managed by the journalist Jon Ronson.

In September 2024 in a Facebook post it was announced that they were reforming to do a gig in Manchester, this was with the help of Iain Lee a former TV show host and comedian. The gig, to be held at the 500 capacity Band on the Wall in Manchester, sold out within 20 minutes.

More details about the band can be found at:

Latest Spoken Label (Author Chat Podcast) is perhaps our

strangest to date features Kateryna Kei talking about a real

life mystery of a book behind Casey Adams and a journal he

left behind at the Hague Hotel.

The book is described as "

Imagine stumbling upon someone’s stolen diary while traveling in a foreign country.

Imagine reading it and falling in love with the story within – a deeply moving story that someone lived through and wrote down to never forget.

Imagine spending months looking for the author of that diary, retracing his steps and meeting people he met on the way…

If you have ever stayed in a hostel, making connections with many different people only to never speak with them again, Casey Adams’s story will resonate with you. It will make you reappraise these brief encounters that always transform us in some way.

Let this hand-written diary take you on a unique immersive experience…

Kateryna herself is the Author of the books "Raven Boy" and

"Two Parts of a Soul" and her bio advises "I love stories. Real or imaginary, sad or happy, containing life lessons or simply entertaining, stories make our whole life, we are stories."
