silver jubilee
10 Feb '03 - a few pics in Living Ornaments already !!! - and I haven't even got home yet from Shepherd's Bush (so all right, I did go to work straight from the hotel this morning which is my excuse) - sleep needed desperately, but to keep you peeps happy I've slaved over a hot keyboard to bring you an update-ette! Great to meet everyone yesterday - always nice to meet new people with this common interest - I chatted to fans from the States, Japan, Sweden and Gibraltar as well as a familiar-looking bunch from the the home country (or is it the home counties?). Anyway - must dash - I've yet another train to catch!
5 Feb '03 - 25 years - a Silver Jubilee! So it's street parties and bunting for the weekend. Well maybe not. When other artists would offer another compilation of 'best ofs' to celebrate Gary gives us a unique twist by the issue of Hybrid next Monday. And with the concerts this weekend said to match the style and content of this album this weekend will prove to be rather interesting. Having heard some of the clips on Gary's site I'm wondering how much of the influences from the people who've worked on this album he will take on board permamently. He's already said that the next album Jagged Halo (current title) will be heavier and more aggressive like he said the last time. I've no problem with that, but will we see his own pure style back after Hybrid and Hybrid-live this weekend? Time will tell. It's his choice anyway. Hybrid's RIP is fantastic although I've not heard much of the rest as I wanted the concert to be new to my ears! So, let's hope this Anniversary weekend goes as well as ever - and I hope to meet up with loads of you before the event so if there's any parties/gatherings going on then someone please email me and let me know!!!!
