Ferry has been used to promote the store's Autograph menswear range. Marks & Spencer said it was "highly unlikely" he would be used in a new campaign but insisted he had completed his existing contract. In March, Ferry apologised after he described some of the Third Reich's imagery as "beautiful". Ferry had told the Welt Am Sonntag newspaper that he found Nazi iconography impressive. He said: "I'm talking about the films of Leni Riefenstahl and the buildings of Albert Speer and the mass marches and the flags. Just fantastic - really beautiful." At the time Marks & Spencer - founded by a Russian Jewish refugee Michael Marks - faced calls to cut its ties with Ferry. But a spokesman for M&S said there had been no move to dump the singer. "While we are still planning our autumn advertising campaign, it is highly unlikely any model will be used for more than two seasons for the Autograph range. "We welcomed Mr Ferry's apology over his remarks and he completed his existing contract."

It's a bit like the Gap ads where they feature somebody for a campaign and then move on.

According to the Galleries on Bryan's official site, there are photos of Roxy Music 2006 - Oxford, Ipswich and Royal Albert Hall. None of the pix look especially like the RAH to me. Also, I don't believe Roxy played the RAH last year. Or ever? Is it possible that the official site would make such a gargantuan error?

Excellent recordings. Yes  they can be accessed through the audio player on the right (or through Media>Music); they're not on the discography page. There is also a live 'Simple Twist of Fate' on the Media>Video page. I assume that these live recordings are all from the Oxford show, which was recorded. Can anyone confirm this?

In a word "yes". On the basis of past performance I wouldn't put it past the official site to spell his name wrong. Given the quality of the unofficial sites there isn't any need for an official site, they should just put links to those in the album covers. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-avalon@smoe.org [mailto:owner-avalon@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Chandla911@aol.com Sent: 14 May 2007 12:03 To: avalon@smoe.org Subject: [AVALON] Bryan Ferry website cock-up - is it possible?
