Mark was a really good player. It was interesting to follow his journey. Lots of great bands, including the wonderful Kokomo. Quite coincidentally i came to Kokomo concurrently with early Roxy and was thrilled when they (in essence) were Bryan's backing band on the IYM tour of 77. So started trawling youtube for Kokomo and stumbled upon this recent Frankie Collins interview where he talks about Bryan, Mark Fenwick and that extraordinary tour... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLbXM5vmGxI&feature=related - --- On Tue, 3/11/09, Chris Turner wrote: From: Chris Turner Subject: [AVALON] Mark Smith To: avalon@smoe.org Date: Tuesday, 3 November, 2009, 3:58 PM I'm sorry to have to report the death of former Roxy Music bassist Mark Smith at the age of 49. http://www.roxyrama.com/classic/cgi-bin/2009/cginews.cgi?record=16 Chris ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2009 03:41:28 EST From: Chandla911@aol.com Subject: [AVALON] Another BF gig I missed Jonathan Ross has coughed up #20,000 GBP at a charity auction for a lithograph self-portrait of his hero, David Bowie. The 48-year-old DJ/TV presenter rounded off the evening nicely by treating himself to the print after he was awarded with the Music Industry Trusts (MITs) award for the exposure he has given to new artists. Bryan Ferry, Four Poofs and a Piano, who provide musical accompaniment on the BBC's Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, and Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones all performed at the event, which was attended by more than 1,000 people from the UK music and entertainment industry. Among those there were Noel Gallagher, the band Sparks and Russell Brand. A host of Ross's celebrity friends also left video messages congratulating him, including Bjork, Cheryl Cole, Brandon Flowers, Harry Hill, Sir Tom Jones, Will Smith, U2, Rufus Wainwright and Dame Vivienne Westwood. Singer George Michael presented Ross with the gong during the evening of tributes at a ceremony at London's Grosvenor House Hotel in London, which included a message of congratulations sent from DB earlier in the evening that was read out by host Paul Gambaccini.
