Ferry was involved with a project of George Michaels in '94 or '95 called trojan souls which unfortunately never saw the light of day.

Dear Roxy,
I agree with you. I don't think for a minute that George Michael would be influenced by Robbie Williams but Ferry, very definitely and it showed in his Symphonica set.
As BF did with ATGB, he mixed it up and put a Jazz spin on some contemporary numbers also, the set visuals were incredible.
I loved the visuals on BF's recent tours (solo & Roxy) but who ever did GM's blew Isaac away (doubtless he'll rise to the challenge and I thought the techniques used to highlight soloists were just phenomenal.
As for Rod, each to his own but if he'd stopped after "The Faces", that would have been fine with me.

Windswept, I saw George Michael on his 25 tour and it was a visually stunning show and of course the boy can sing a bit!

Bryan has influenced me no end, and I can't sing a note in tune, nor blow my own trumpet!

Dear Gerry Ferry,
The man's influence works in mysterious ways and it's a broad church!
Doubtless you may want to keep the more private influences to yourself but if there are any musical or fashion influences you can recount - feel free.

Dear Windswept2

I suppose the fashion thing is probably his strongest influence on me, or is it his music? I think his mannerisms have maybe rubbed of on me as well. and I chew my lip when nervous, and cross my legs when interviewed, and act shy, and like tall elegant women, and started smoking because he did, and support Newcasle United, and frequently say "oh really" and sack staff if they get the wrong end of me and I wear a big wrap round scarf and........
