Subject: [AVALON] Mamouna tour 94/95

Compliments of the season to
everyone....whichever celebration you recognise!

A quick question about the Mamouna tour from
1994/95 - I understand that Bryan played a couple
of nights in Los Angeles.  Can anyone pinpoint
dates, or at least the month & year?  My Mamouna
tourbook actually doesn't list Los Angeles as a
tour destination, but I know he played there.
Thanks,

Subject: [AVALON] Bryan and Phil on the radio yesterday

My timing's lousy as usual.  I got out of the shower yesterday morning to
catch the last few seconds of Bryan and Phil on the radio.  I think it was a
selection of highlights from Nicky Campbell's show.  Can someone tell me
what it was all about as by the time I figured out who was on they were all
giggling hysterically and were completely incomprehensible.  Sounded like
fun.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and got lots of Roxy stuff in their
stockings ;-)

Jane.

It looks like one of the Hollywood canyons -- Laurel Canyon most likely.

Upon further investigation, I find that it's the Hyatt House, on the Sunset

Subject: [AVALON] Indifference

I've been thinkly lately of a post a few weeks/months back from a more
seniorly member of this mailing list, who if memory serves me well, use to run
a record store. She ventured that with the criticism Bryan was bound to get
from releasing a new album, is it any wonder about his reluctance. I think
most musicians are pretty thick skinned. By virtue of the nature of the
industry, you are either pretty thick skinned or you learn to be as a survival
tool. This is not to say that you don't wear your heart on your sleeve. You
just can't afford to take the critics too seriously. I don't see a dichotomy
here. I think what is of greater concern to an artist, however is
indifference. Mamouna barely recorded a blip on the charts. The radio stations
here in LA ignored the record...with the narrowing of formats it is hard to
imagine his next release standing much of a commercial chance. I hope Bryan
proves me wrong. For god's sake put something out already and let the chips
fall where they may. Running out of time.

Subject: [AVALON] Ferry, a Danish interview from 1995

Hi, Avalonians!
I just found an interview from a Danish musician.

http://home13.inet.tele.dk/pkb/interview.htm
This is the translation:

A Danish Men's magazine, Euroman, December 1995.

"It's been three years since I met Bryan Ferry for the first time. At that
time I was a journalist. Today I can meet him on equal terms. For three years
I have played a number of concerts all over Denmark as drummer in the band
called "Per Kristensen Band", and now I am familiar with the life behind the
scene and the emotions and dangers which rocklife has. Roxy Music was Bryan
Ferry's entrance to the rockscene. Ferry comes from a Northern Town, from a
working class family, and before he started to sing, he had been interested in
the world of art, form and design, but with Roxy Music he suddently became
famous. All this he has in common with Per Kristensen, singer of Per
Kristensen Band."

- -I play in a band, called Per Kristensen Band. Most of us are not very good
musicians, but we have an idea/concept. Was this the way you felt in Roxy
Music?

(BF) -Yes, actually. We had a lot of imagination and one of our  great
advantages, was, that none of us was well known. But I had an idea (concept).
I had been a great musicfan all my life. At age 11 I listened to jazz and
blues, later on "black beat". And the others had a lot of things, they wanted
to try. Brian Eno was very much into synthesizere and Andy Mackay played the
obo, which I thought was very cool; and then there was Phil Manzanera, who at
that time was a guitarist still loking for his style. He was ready to
experiment all the time and often played  with his head hanging down, if I
asked him to.

- -Per, the singer in our band, and I was ordenairy friends before we made the
band. But things has changed a bit now. These days he can come to me after a
concert to shake hands and thank me. He has become like a boss to me. Did you
also go in that direction?

(BF) -No, we were not like that. We were not friends until we formed Roxy
Music and...well, now that you mention that history, I do kind of regonize
some of it. We had a bass player (?), called Paul Thompson. He came from
Newcastle, like I did, and the two of us could talk the northern dialect in a
way that the others couldn't understand anything. He was a manual worker with
long hair, and he always came to practice sessions rigtht from work, all
dusted. When we played our first gigs, we had to go and get him from the
construction site, right before the show. After the shows, I could go to him
and slap him on the shoulders. We had a kind of "Officer and Gentleman"
relationship. I was the educated and cultivated.

Merry Xmas and a happy New Year.

Hello Avalonians,

Can anybody tell me the Roxy connection for this?

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1499560250

If you don't want to look at the link, what it says is: 
N
NIGHTBIRD '76*ROXY MUSIC*D.BROMBERG*2 LP*MINT 

Seems to have something to do with a radio show.

I don't know if she was connected, but in the mid to late 70's, there was a
DJ on WNEW-FM in New York City named Allison Steele, aka, "The Nightbird"
She had a late night program and played a lot of Yes, ELP, Renaissance, etc.
She would play complete albums, and I remember hearing Manzanera's "Diamond
Head" late one night (complete with headphones and under the influence). She
would begin her program with a lengthy piece of prose and then use her
signature line to begin the music ("Come, Fly with me..."). She passed away
several years ago.

Wasn't Allison Steele a one-time VJ w/ MTV. I could have the name wrong.
