Mostly Autumn News

Shock news from the Mostly Autumn camp. They've parted company with long-time keyboard player Iain Jennings. To quote the official announcement from Bryan Josh:

I feel strongly that it is my duty to inform you personally that, at least for the foreseeable future, Iain Jennings and Mostly Autumn will no longer be working together. I can honestly say from the heart that working and writing with Iain for the last ten years has been a great privilege and a great pleasure. We both shook hands recently and expressed this to each other.

I can't put into words the magic I feel we have created together and shared, also the friendship that will still remain. I guess as time moves on things change, people change and we move in different directions, it's just part of life, the previous albums will always be there and will always celebrate our musical partnership.

This comes as a big surprise. I'd thought of Iain as one of the core members of the band, a significant contributor to the writing, contributing songs like "The Gap is Too Wide" and "Hollow". The band won't quite be the same without him. Looks like December's London show was Iain's last appearance with them.

Bummer. I hate when this sort of thing happens, but hopefully his replacement will bring something new to the band worth hearing.
