Its a bit quiet these days, but as soon as the band gets that new album out there will be chatter a-plenty. Funny you mention Chicago: just yesterday while looking for some photos I found the ones I took in Chicago in 1998 at the first DelFest gathering where about 20 of us online Del Amitri fans got together for a weekend of sharing, listening to Dels music, swapping, and having some fine food at such delightful places in town as the Duke of Perth. (Boom boxes under the table DO drown out the inhouse music, we all found out...) What a memorable weekend that was!

And look what we've all been up to since then - new friendships, marriages, movings, other big life changes...but gosh, not one new Dels CD to speak of. Well, at least many of us at least got a good Dels concert in 1999. 1999...Wow, seems like such a bleedin' long time ago....

I am looking for nice quality scans of dels live photos - from the first LP through to the Twisted tour.
