More Mostly Autumn News

This one is a bit happier that the last piece of news about the band. I'm not normally in the habit of posting about the private lives of musicians, but now things have become public, I'm linking to this post on the Unofficial Mostly Autumn Forum, which is itself a repost from another forum, by a well-known tall Scottish fellow who I've seen live once or twice.

As some of you may have guessed I have been "dating" a young lady by the name of Heather Findlay since December. Heather is lead singer with "Mostly Autumn" and despite our occupations we have been seeing each other regularly in recent months as she lives in York a mere 2 hour train journey away from Dunbar station. Heather is out with the band playing at Baja Rock this week (ironically Marillion are out there too ) . If it hadn't been for parental duties I would have been out there on a special guest spot - who with would have been an interesting question. Her band are on tour in the coming months and thankfully it appears we are out at the same time. I will be singing a couple of numbers with them at the Scottish shows on the 23rd march at Glasgow Uni. and Lochgelly Town Hall on the 24th (check their website out for details) To show how serious we are Heather has become a commited Hibby and has so far been at three matches and has tickets for the semi final in Glasagow on the 2nd April :-D As you already know she will be singing at the convention and we have already discussed a number of songs for both the acoustic and electric shows. Me happy :-D

Why do I start thinking about Robert Fripp and Toyah Wilcox?

Hmm, interesting. It would make for an interesting double-bill, not that we'll ever see them over here across the Pond.

Hmm. Whilst I certainly wish them well as individuals, I'm less than thrilled by the implications for the music!

NRT, coming on top if Iain Jennings' departure, and remembering what happened to Karnataka, some pessimists might fear the worst :(

But I didn't think you were an MA fan anyway...
