What a pleasant dream.... That does sound like a good approach to drum up audiences and exposure. Richard Thompson played in my town recently, and it sold out faster than I could get to it. If he had come back I'm sure he could have filled the venue again (and perhaps again). BTW: any other Richard Thompson fans out there?

Yes, indeed. I've been a fan since Richard & Linda's "Shoot Out The Lights," but have only had the good fortune to see him perform once. I prefer his stuff with a band, as opposed to his solo acoustic stuff.

Del Amitri are no more! Unlike the Alarm front man JC has more nous to carry on when knowing that the game is up. JC is talented and switched on enough to know when to give up on a band that has past writen all over it. Get the UDS cd and the next release he puts out but please lets give up on some Del Amitri reform as it never took off the 1st time! I expect no reply Joe.J.Brady.......
