I suspect that this may be the news Guy has been telling us to wait for in September!

I was hoping for something more substantial :(  Maybe a nice double live CD? 

...we can still dream...

I never dream a DOUBLE live CD from PCM, only if they are from crowfly things.

I have just downloaded the free single Precious, and I like the music, and the playing, some nice gentle lead, but I really don't like Greg's voice much!!

I love the rhythm acoustic guitar part, as well as the lyrics.

That press release is wrong, John was onstage in 2002 at the MK charity gigs.

Maybe the press wants to tell us John onstage playing the guitar, not the bass, hehehehe.

I've just been listening to some of the tracks on John's website.
They sound amazing.! Some very Knopfleresque guitar playing.
I assume it's John.?
Does John sing lead vocals on any of the tracks.?
I can't quite decide if i like Greg's voice or not.???????
Would have prefered John's i think. :) :)
Any idea if John's 1st album 'Never Told A Soul' has ever been released on CD.?
I've only got it on Vinyl. Would love it on CD.

Cheers   BBB

Hi all,

I am a lucky winner of the contest. I won 2 tix for the gig at Sheperds Bush on the 7th of Oktober  :D
But I really cannot make it there  >:(  :(  :'(
Also won a signed CD which I can collect that day.

Is there someone who wants to go there, I will try to change the name on the guestlist then!
Please send me an e-mail as fast as possible, because I have to confirm before the 2nd of Oktober at 10.00am.

Ingrid - Congratulations on winning the competition, but I'm sorry that you won't be able to go!  :(   I hope you will find someone to take up your kind offer, I'm sure you will!  :)

Hey. WOW. What a year.
I've just checked my inbox. I too am a winner of 2 tix. ;D
I'm now running around like a headless chicken trying to make arrangements to go. :)
Also to find someone to go with me.

Congrats to you as well, Nigel!   :D   What a coincidence that you both won tickets in your 40th birthday year!   :)

Post by: ingridswing on September 30, 2008, 11:46:45 AM
It must be OUR year I guess  :)
Now I heard that Nigel has tix as well it's hard to stick to my conclusion that I will not go.
But it's almost impossible. I hope someone will show up who wants the tix.

I also have to reply about who i am going to take as a guest by 10.00am in the morning.
At the moment, i still have no one to take, everyone i've asked, can't get the time off work.
So if anyone is interested in joining me in London for the gig, then please pm or email me ASAP.! :)

I've been listening to the album on JI's website. I think it's great and will be adding it to my collection. I think Pearle's voice is good! To hear these guys in a 350 seat venue will be a blast! Enjoy.

I have listened a few times to this album and I really like it a lot!  I love the song "One" - it has a Floyd/Gilmour aura to it and I am very impressed by John's guitar work.  There is a more than a touch of Knopfler there, I think!  :P  Gregg's voice is unusual and gravelly, but the more I listen, the more I like it.  I suppose it's growing on me!  ;)
