"BF performed to a star-studded audience in Geneva for the prestigious IWC watch company on Tuesday 17th January. The Top Gun themed extravaganza was organised by IWC Schaffhausen to tell the story of their new Pilot Watches." Did you see this? Bryan's sitting in a jet ready to take-off! Lots of good reading too. Enjoy! http://www.bryanferry.com/news/ |

The artcle/interview with the Sound Guy Warren is indeed interesting, especially this excerpt: The European leg of the tour kicked off with two drummers: longtime Roxy/Ferry associate Andy Newmark and Ferry’s son Tara, who left after a few shows and was not replaced. When the American leg was planned, Ferry was still not happy with the drums, and it was Warren who suggested that original Roxy drummer Paul Thompson be brought back; he had also done solo Ferry solo tours previously. “You can set your watch by him—meticulous all night,” said Warren. “As soon as Paul came back, it settled down.” Knowing how closely BF keeps control on what his crew/band say about him (and the fact that the interview is on BF's own website) gives this quote significant authority. Very interesting... |

BF is certainly not the Webmaster of his site, but I think he maintains significant control over what gets posted on it. And something will be removed pretty quickly if he isn't happy. I recall some informal video clips of early practice sessions for the Olympia tour that came down pretty quick from the BF site after they were uploaded (by one of his sons?). I interpreted that as BF maintaining control of the site although he doesn't deal with it on a day-to-day basis... |

I can understand why Bryan maintains control over his site as it's his work & as someone who put together a band myself, it isn't an easy job. You have to write the songs, the music, arrange rehearsals, etc., and sometimes, like myself, you can have 'writers' block'. It also isn't easy to create all the time. You need a break and with all that Roxy & Bryan have done over 40 years, it's quite an accomplishment. Thanks guys! Roxy Music rocks! |
