I can only echo Stabbs' comments; Andy's playing was more robust than anticipated, especially on Comanche and Re-Make/Re-Model. The old lion can still muster an impressive roar!

He played alto, soprano and what we assumed to be a EWI (electronic wind instrument); it looked rather like a spare part for a cordless vacuum cleaner and was capable of a range of saxophone sounds from soprano to baritone.

Although I live within half an hour of the venue, I was blissfully unaware of this event until late on Friday evening, when I was alerted to it by a friend in Japan! I rather think our own emperor enjoys flying under the radar these days...

Andy was kind enough to sign a photo and a small promo poster for me afterwards; the latter was for Resolving Contradictions and he volunteered that it is still his intention to re-release that album and Eddie Riff on CD.

He nimbly dodged around my comment that his reappearance on stage would send into a frenzy those hoping for a Roxy 50th anniversary reunion gig, however! We'll just have to wait and see, but I think it might be unwise to hold our collective breath...

As requested by Stabbs, I've attached some iPhone pictures; whether fellow VRM member Bobby Moncur can be persuaded to share a video clip or two remains to be seen...

Fabulous account and pictures guys. Thank you.

Great info and pictures. . Thank you !!!

As the lads said, a fantastic day out at the Soho Village Fete a couple of weeks ago. Andy was on top form despite a completely inactive left little finger. I think he explained when the Roxymphony tour was cancelled, that the little finger covers the lower end of the scale (forgive me musos, for I know not what I'm talking about), so I'm guessing if you move everything up a bit, you don't need that finger as much??? Ironic, that now Andy has to play in a higher key and Ferry needs to drop everything down.
I'll post a few pics and then attempt to get my videos uploaded, but don't hold your collective breath, the files are enormous and I'm a techno numpty, but I'll give it a whirl. Btw, the electronic Dyson attachment is a programmable Roland Areophone (I am reliably informed by one Mr Sullivan.)
Interesting trivia fact, the set list was made up from tracks all recorded within a square mile of St Anne's Gardens in Soho - Trident is literally round the corner and Command is just down the road. Right, photos ...

Can't even upload the photos! Apparently they're too large, even though I've resized them to the smallest format. Not a hope in hell of getting the videos up. So sorry. Might try via someone else who knows what they're doing later.

I won't ever claim to know what I'm doing, but here (hopefully) are Bobby Moncur's photos...

Photo attachments appear to be restricted to three per post, so here, as a postscript, is Bobby Moncur's snap of Guy Pratt...

Thanks for posting for me Smudge. Much appreciated.
