And I am surprised: Roxy to play Live 8 Saturday 2nd July We will play in front of the Brandenberg Gates on Saturday. A 20 minute set of Virginia Plain, Love is the Drug, Jealous Guy and Do the Strand will be performed to show our support for the efforts being made to make poverty history and increase politically awareness of the Issues being discussed at the G8 summit next week. We should be on at 7.20 German time and we should have an international broadcast. - -- Daniel ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2005 10:21:54 +0100 (BST) From: Mandy Subject: [AVALON] Handbags and Gladrags Let me firstly say am looking forward very much to seeing everyone in Amsterdam.

However, it would probably take the real thing for me to consider entering the knuckle-dragging kingdum known as Wulver-rampton. Pity the epicentre of the recent earthquake in Dudlaay couldn't have been a few miles up the road and about a 10 on the richter scale. :-) You obviously sound as if you managed to get in and out relatively unscathed? Clearly one of the lucky ones. Hope you all enjoy Amsterdam. Chris PS. If any Avalonions were either born or live in Wulver-rampton, you have my deepest, deepest sympathy. :-) > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-avalon@smoe.org [SMTP:owner-avalon@smoe.org] On Behalf Of > Mandy > Sent: 01 July 2005 10:22 > To: avalon@smoe.org > Subject: [AVALON] Handbags and Gladrags > > Let me firstly say am looking forward very much to seeing everyone in > Amsterdam. > > May get a second treat of Mark Stephens and Nigel Hollis dancing around > Nigel's handbag as they did very elegantly at Robin2 for Roxy Magic last > night.

By David Buckley. (Chicago Review, paper, $17.95.) Drawing upon what seems like every previously published word on the subject of Bryan Ferry, the melancholy magnate of glam rock, Buckley has written a classic piece of obsessive British trainspotting. If you've ever wanted to know how the bass line for ''Love Is the Drug'' was recorded or which role Ferry played in his grammar school production of ''Twelfth Night,'' this is the Roxy Music biography for you! Even so, Buckley succeeds in painting a remarkably sympathetic portrait of a decadent musician with an eight-figure net worth. By 1977, Ferry finds himself a poseur in an era of punks, dumped by Jerry Hall for Mick Jagger, creatively outpaced by his former Roxy bandmate Brian Eno and filed under the ''Hates'' column of a famous Malcolm McLaren T-shirt design. After this, though, it's not clear why the book needs to continue for another 100 pages, particularly when Ferry's subsequent recorded output has been so spotty and the details of his life aren't exactly a mystery. It's not as if he's Morrissey, after all. * Hum the reviewer missed the point, did he not? - -- Daniel ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V10 #157 ***************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
