Good to hear you again. Are you still doing the guitarss? I recall you were a bit of an expert on e-bows. Is will still using one? Bit of a lurker nowadays, I'm afraid! Keeps his one good ear to the ground, though! Nice to be remembered!!! : )) I had intended catching 3 gigs this tour but family circumstances meant I had to sell my Shefield tickets. As Loo & Raj rightly say, I went to Pompey, which was a good night. They were incredibly loud! It was like the old days. I couldn't hear myself sing (which is always a good thing!) but at times I was actually disorientated by certain sounds and I had to leave my usual position of just in front of Will, so catching the lefthand speakers full blast, and after 3 or 4 songs and move back a bit. Always interesting to get a different view, though. I hadn't got tix to Bush, and didn't fany two late work nights on the trot, so missed that one. I have to have an operation in ten days time to replace a missing ligament in my ankle, following a bad break back in January, so won't make the Liverpool gigs, unfortuntely. Cheers Martyn nial bradburn wrote: talking about old members, there also used to be a big fella called martyn on the list. I remember meeting him at the Astoria gig in 99 at Bunnymen gig which was in the afternoon on A Saturday which was televised in Japan. He was there with Raj and Jon Hickmott. Is he still around?? - - --------------------------------- Yahoo!

While singer and raconteur extraordinaire Ian "Mac" McCulloch gets most of the publicity, webve convinced Will Sergeant to step out of the shadows and discuss life as an unsung guitar hero. What prompted you to reunite with Heaven Up Here producer Hugh Jones? Having gone on about it for years "What about Hugh Jones?" I always got met with, "Heaven Up Here is seen as the weirdest album webve done!" This time, it got suggested, and for once, everybody agreed! Rumour has it youbd tried to get Brian Eno to produce Heaven Up Here in b81. Mac said, "No, hebs too weird." I said, "Well, thatbs why we want him." I think Hugh Jones was the right choice in the end, but it would have been good to work with Eno. I saw Roxy Music in Liverpool; there were two big personalities in that band, Bryan Ferry and Brian Eno, and everybody was shouting, "Eno!" I think they had a bit of a punch-up at the end of it, and thatbs when he left. I feel slightly responsible. Eno had a tape player, and I was like, "I can do that " put weird noises on a Revox and turn it on every now and then." He didnbt really have a keyboard; he just had a joystick thing to make noises, and a few peacock feathers and a pair of platforms, and off you go. Is it true Siberia was once slated to be a Northern Soul album? I gave Mac a CD of Northern Soul tracks, but it was mainly [about] the beat and the groove on them, rather than the soulful singing. You go through these little phases and fads, and it never turns out the way you think itbs going to turn out. You could say, "Ibm going to make an ambient bloody jazz album," and itbll turn out like garage-punk. Siberia ends with Mac singing "Have I hit rock bottom?" It sounds rather bleak. That might be done with a touch of irony. Thatbs the way I look at it: "You think Ibve hit rock bottom? Youbre wrong." Itbs the old swaggering Bunnymen personality. I donbt really go for the swagger thing too much. I leave that to him. Ibm more on the "shut up and stay in the background."
