Angels & devils and zimbo if i remember correctly, oh and silver. obvously hits is probably a bit too strong in the case of our chaps. not sure it was a resounding success though their cover of that tim hardin song was really good. try this interview that someone posted on the Villiers Terrace website: http://www.nowtoronto.com/music/story.cfm?content=171755 Obviously the usual dose of salt is necessary. And I think it was when he was on with Janice Long he said he didn't go to many gigs because they're always too long. so maybe thats the way he thinks of his own. His voice seemed to be going a bit towards the end of the roundhouse gig though still managed the high notes here and there in lips. pete > what next, a 're-recordings of popular hits' just like spandau ballet > have just done? > > tears before teatime. > > steve g. > > > > Pete T wrote: > > Mind you sergeants not even credited as writer on a few of the tracks, mac has > > sole author status on a coupl and those other blokes who write for busted et > > al are in there on the rest. > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > **************Bunnymen Online Presence******************** > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info > http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ > http://www.villiersterrace.com/ * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ > http://homepage.ntlworld.com/stevedoughty/index.html > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > * > > _________________________________________________________________ Did you know you can get Messenger on your mobile? http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/174426567/direct/01/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **************Bunnymen Online Presence******************** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ http://www.villiersterrace.com/ * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ http://homepage.ntlworld.com/stevedoughty/index.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V7 #162 ********************************
