July 02, 2004, 2:45 PM ET=20 Four-Fifths Of Roxy Music Reunite =20 =20 Four founders of Roxy Music reunite on "6PM," the sixth solo album by = the band's guitarist, Phil Manzanera. He is joined by original keyboard = player Brian Eno, saxophonist Andy Mackay and drummer Paul Thompson. Eno was = the sole founding member who did not participate in Roxy's 2001 reunion = tour. With only frontman Bryan Ferry absent, "6PM" is the closest thing to a = new Roxy Music album fans are likely to hear. It will be released July 19 in = the United Kingdom on Expression Records through Ryko/Hannibal.

The dozen songs include "Wish You Well," a tribute to music = writer/author Ian MacDonald, who committed suicide in August 2003. The track features Chrissie Hynde on harmonica. "Everyone on [the album] knew Ian," Manzanera tells Billboard. "He gave Chrissie her first job on [British weekly music magazine] NME in the mid-'70s, and I'd known him since we were at school together in the = early '60s. I even used some old lyrics he wrote." Manzanera is working on two other albums, according to his official Web = site . The first is dubbed "Coroncho," a = collaboration with Colombian artist Lucho Brieva. Of the concept, the site says it = stems from "two Latino males, their trials and tribulations, good and bad = points, loves and hates, political correctness and incorrectness but ultimately, their good humour, good heart and ability to dance." Also in the pipeline is a collection of four unused songs from "6PM" in tandem with other previously unreleased material. This as-yet-untitled = album should see the light of day by the end of the year. =20 =20 =20 - -- Nigel Williamson, London =20 =20 =20 http://www.billboard.com/bb/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=3D10= 00562 551 =20 =20 =20 [demime 0.97c-p1 removed an attachment of type image/gif which had a name of image001.gif] ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2004 01:44:59 EDT From: Chandla911@aol.com Subject: [AVALON] Concert tickets Basically, I messed up. When tickets for Simon and Garfunkel/Everly Brothers went on sale some months ago, I clicked on "Buy" one too many times and ended up buying two pairs of tickets for reserved seats at next Thursday's concert in Hyde Park. At the time, I shrugged it off and figured I would get someone to buy them when the tickets arrived. But I forgot. So I now have two decent seats for next Thursday to sell if I am to get my money back. This isn't a scam. I just want to see if I can cover my costs. Tickets cost #65 plus booking fees. Any chance you (or someone you might know) would pay #145 for these two tickets? If not, please excuse the commercial. If so, contact me at _chandla911@aol.com_ (mailto:chandla911@aol.com) Best wishes Richard Mills ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V9 #172 **************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
