Instead of setting up more mailing lists, perhaps someone can volunteer to keep track of each show and a lot of the correspondence could go on off-list between the organizers and the attendees? Theoretically this would cut down on that sort of traffic on this list (although my years on this list have not really given me much confidence people know how to use private email in cases like this). The other option is a webpage where folks can list info about the venues, preshow meetings, etc. It's been done successfully on other lists.

Although nothing is as yet planned for either Australia or Japan, Phil, I know, is keen to get to both. We will keep you informed. 6. Do not despair if your city/region has not yet been listed for a concert. There is spare capacity in the tour schedule. 7. We will be running a clippings service on the new Roxy Music Tour 2001 site.

The superstar was a close friend of the venue's co-founder Nigel Stanger, who died in 1999, four years after the Arena opened. "I would have loved for Nigel to have seen me play there," said Ferry, in an exclusive interview with the Chronicle after announcing Roxy Music were reforming for their first tour in 18 years. "But sadly that isn't to be. Still, it will be a great honour to play there. It will be interesting doing a different venue, it's always been the City Hall in the past. "We've had great audiences there. I hope they make a decent noise at the Arena and really let their hair down." Ferry, a former Chronicle delivery boy, will hit the road with Roxy originals Phil Manzanera and Andy MacKay for a world tour, playing Newcastle's Telewest Arena on June 12. Tickets went on sale today for the gig, which will feature Roxy's greatest hits, as well as more obscure tracks, but no solo material from Ferry. "I'll be bringing family and friends along to the gig," Ferry, 55, originally from Washington, added. "I don't have any immediate family up there any more, but I do have aunts and uncles and I'll be asking them along." Still sporting a slight, lilting North East accent, the former fine arts student at Newcastle University is wearing well. His youthful looks belie his 55 years, although these days he's letting the grey hairs seep through his dark locks. He dismissed reports that money played a big part in reforming the group. Rumours persist the tour, which moves to America in July before further dates in Europe, could be worth millions to the group, whose hits included In Every Dream Home A Heartache, Virginia Plain, Bitter Sweet and Love Is The Drug. "The reason for getting together now is that we'd never found dates that worked for all of us before, when we were all available, simple as that," said Ferry. "It just felt like the right time, suddenly, to do this. Any time I did an interview, people would ask me if we were getting back together. Andy and Phil were very keen too." Ferry also talked about his recent experiences on a plane to Kenya when a madman tried to attack the pilot. The plane nosedived 10,000ft and the crew managed to wrestle the attacker to the ground, with the rock star just standing a few yards away. "It was pretty deadly. Not the sort of thing you'd like to do every week. I hope that won't happen again in a hurry." All three in the band are keen to play the North East again. "We're honorary Geordies," laughed sax player Andy MacKay, whose late wife's mother was from South Shields. The last time Ferry visited the area was in August. "I still love coming back, though," he stressed. "It's still a great city. It's great to see it has had such a renaissance over the last few years. "There is a great spirit to the whole region. I'm very proud of it. I still have a sense of belonging." The only original missing link in the reformed Roxy Music line-up is Brian Eno. "He prefers to work in the studio," revealed Ferry. "I did ask him a few years ago if he would consider doing a concert show with me, but he doesn't like going on stage. "If Roxy do a new album, then I would hope he would help us." Tickets for the June 12 gig are available by ringing 0870 707 8000, or by calling in person to the Arena box office, Newcastle City Hall, HMV in Newcastle and MetroCentre, or via the website www.telewestarena.co.uk ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 10:32:33 -0500 From: "Tim Kendrick" Subject: [AVALON] Ferry in USA TODAY There's an article in today's USA TODAY about the Grammy category for ' best traditional pop vocal album', for which ATGB is nominated. For those who don't know, USA TODAY is America's national daily. It isn't lowbrow in quite the cheeky, course way of the British tabloid, but it is incredibly bland and self-important. It's nick-named McNEWS, which should give you an idea. Anyway, an excerpt: ... some pop veterans will have an opportunity to feel like spring chickens. Those would be the nominees for the best traditional pop vocal album, a category hono(u)ring artists who record popular standards - songs that have withstood a certain test of time and often are associated with a bygone era in music and culture. Since it was introduced in 1991, the category has been dominated by pre-rock crooners, particularly six-time winner Tony Bennett. But this year's candidates represent a different generation... ..CEO Michael Greene was pleasantly surprised and somewhat relieved by this new roster of hopefuls. " Quite frankly, I was geting very nervous... I had said, ' Hey, guys, Tony Bennett has weon something like two thirds of the time!' As great as Tony is, to all of a sudden find this list which was so adventurous has given me new hope for the category." That Ferry, Jones and Mitchell first established themselves as singer/songwriters is another interesting development for greene. " I think the songwriter part of these artists is the part that has appreciated these great, timeless compositions." Ferry, whose CD ATGB includes material dating back to the 1930s, concurs. " The stndards set by these old songs are incredibly high in terms of lyrics and melodies, which is why they've lasted so long. And the singers who sang those standards, people like Sinatra and Billie Holiday, were alwayas heroic figures for me. So I thought, that's not a bad tradition - singing songs written by other writers. There's obviously a large audience of people who appreciate these great songs from a distant era."... ***************** So there we have it.

I'm sure many of us are doing that following UK ticket sales this morning. Similarly, it might be an idea for all who are whining uncontrollably about how dreadful the whole idea is, to get together and swap stories of being ripped off. I'll be the first to join, naturally, as I am, frankly, so incensed and mortified at the thought of having to go and see what amounts to at least three-fifths of my favourite Band ever, who I never thought I'd see together on one stage again, that I can barely control my anger any longer. I don't think any of us are expecting it to be the halcyon days of 73 , but I think the least the Band could have done was to keep ticket prices as they were when I first saw them back then, being a massive 60 pence. Not much to ask, as they haven't even had a hit in about 18 years. Imagine how the people on this list feel who haven't seen Roxy Music ever before. They'll be mortified. But it's worse for me - I'm going to about 5 or 6 of the UK gigs, totally against my will. What is worse is we'll have to pretend to have a great time partying, chatting, singing along to some of our favourite ever songs, and have to meet up yet again with all our good friends made on the ATGB Tour last year. I even attempted to report my own credit cards as stolen late last night, to foil any attempts to run up a huge bill on the Gig tickets. Unfortunately, I was unable to do this in time, and am now deeply concerned that I may be forced to go to the occasional gig in Europe or the USA as the approximate timing of these coincide with some work in France, and my holidays Stateside. I therefore look forward to reporting to you all how awful this whole money making, misery enhancing scam is in full at a much later date, once we've finished off the Champagne. Yours, absolutely seething, Reecey... ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 12:00:33 EST From: Julialiva@aol.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] Roxy in Germany A minute ago I've seen Roxy on German TV; only one concert planned; March 29th (I think, it happened all so quick!) in Munich.

Similarly, it might be an idea for all who are whining uncontrollably about how dreadful the whole idea is, to get together and swap stories of being ripped off. I'll be the first to join, naturally, as I am, frankly, so incensed and mortified at the thought of having to go and see what amounts to at least three-fifths of my favourite Band ever, who I never thought I'd see together on one stage again, that I can barely control my anger any longer. I don't think any of us are expecting it to be the halcyon days of 73 , but I think the least the Band could have done was to keep ticket prices as they were when I first saw them back then, being a massive 60 pence. Not much to ask, as they haven't even had a hit in about 18 years. Imagine how the people on this list feel who haven't seen Roxy Music ever before. They'll be mortified. But it's worse for me - I'm going to about 5 or 6 of the UK gigs, totally against my will. What is worse is we'll have to pretend to have a great time partying, chatting, singing along to some of our favourite ever songs, and have to meet up yet again with all our good friends made on the ATGB Tour last year. I even attempted to report my own credit cards as stolen late last night, to foil any attempts to run up a huge bill on the Gig tickets. Unfortunately, I was unable to do this in time, and am now deeply concerned that I may be forced to go to the occasional gig in Europe or the USA as the approximate timing of these coincide with some work in France, and my holidays Stateside. I therefore look forward to reporting to you all how awful this whole money making, misery enhancing scam is in full at a much later date, once we've finished off the Champagne.

Paul responds to his forum everyday with enthusiasm. He appreciates his fans, and it shows. Paul took the time to send me a signed CD and even had the decency to say he wished he had found a copy of Rhythm Magazine, which I had been desperately searching for. I know he wants to be part of this reunion, but he has been kept out of the spotlight. Bryan, Phil, Andy or any celebrity, could learn a lot from this down-to-earth gentleman. Here's an old pic from the siren programme http://www.pipeline.com/~tmoq/roxy08.jpg Thanks a Million Paul! ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 17:45:42 -0000 From: "Reecey" Subject: [AVALON] Fri 16th Breaking my own rules now, as this only applies to a few... Still working on a suitable place to meet on Friday for a pre AMA drink, as the Dutch crew will be holed up in East London, whilst the Band are in South-West. Looks like it'll have to be in the centre then ! Will suggest somewhere by Thursday - sorry for delay in this but it's been a tad hectic today (you know why).
