Let's hope he beefs up the band for the UK tour. New material or not, AEWFB will be a hell of an act to follow.

I wonder if there are going to be Bollywood dancers on stage with him?

Cher Lonely Dreamer,
With our hero's eclectic taste, all is possible but, if he reassembles last year's line up (Windswept's dream), there won't be room on stage for a dance troop. Joddie and Bobbie will just have to do double duty again. That won't be a problem -they are superb at it!

Ps. At the risk of sounding like a Parrot, Windswept is still hoping for the stripped down bar room version of MTT to make it onto Avonmore.

Well I've come back from two weeks in Austria to this marvellous news! and another nod to London as well

And I agree, a lovely new studio version of 'More Than This' would be superb!

John has posted this on facebook about an hour ago, maybe he's too busy for posting it here as well. You can preorder the album on Avonmore now and listen to snippets of the songs as well:

No MTT though...

I know, I know... I was only dreaming.... nomen est omen... The announcement of Bollywood strings has made my imagination run away with me :oops:

Very short previews on Amazon but sounds promising.
Titles are:
Avonmore
Send in the Clowns
Soldier of Fortune
Driving me Wild
Loop De Li
Johnny & Mary
Midnight Train
One night Stand
A Special Kind of Guy
Lost.

Sadly no MTT would loved to have that one

The album cover:

Is the album cover a picture of one of the dark and dingy corners of his basement in Avonmore Place ?

The contrast to the glamorous splendour of the Olympia cover couldn't be greater...

A sobering cover.

Btw, the regulars posting here are now reduced to about a dozen.

It is possible that is could a temporary image for the cover. When the news about Olympia was first released a different image was used until the final Kate Moss images.

For those who wish to hear a sneak preview go here http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_nos ... y+avonmore
And navigate around. 30 second previews of each song.

IRSNSHO this is lovely stuff. Obviously need to hear the album properly, though.
BF density, texture and darkness all to great effect....with his latter day vocal working well in this context. A couple of Horoscope songs find their way in....and that's a great thing.
Can't wait till November. Rock on Tommy!
