Elsie and Ingrid's Belgian fanclub is contactable by email at els@glo.be. They've managed to get exclusive interviews with everyone in the band for their fanzine. eMail them and maybe they'll send you one.

There's also the excellent eMail notice board run by Marjorie and David Cardwell in Melbourne. Fans swap info and Mutton Birds arcana, and post their own reviews of live shows, etc. This is what Marjorie and David say about it:

The list is a forum for discussion of the Mutton Birds' music, and also a means of propagating information on their gigs and releases. To subscribe, send mail to cardwell@connexus.net.au with the words "subscribe Mutton Birds" in the subject.
