Was that the tour where Robbie was sort of beamed in as a moving hologram in a sort of smoke cloud? A client of mine likes going to those ironic cabaret shows. She also saw Spandau Ballet on that reunion your.

Eg and Alice? Its's like a more urban(e) version of Prefab Sprout. Beautifully done. Sold bugger all IIRC but was a big critical hit in 91. Had some somewhat hysterical reviews of the "greatest album ever made" variety. Sadly it was one of those major label records that was hard to classify and got zero radio play - like the first Lewis Taylor album. And 91 was a terrible time to be doing anything this subtle. Let me know if you'd like to hear it.

When you wrote "Eg out of Brother Beyond made the brilliant "24 Years Of Hunger" with Alice Temple", I must confess it didn't ring any bells at all tbh, so I googled it and seeing "Eg and Alice" I remembered reading about that.
The 'hysterial reviews' definitely rang a bell, but I can't reall ever actually hearing anything off it. Would be interested in having a listen though.

If you like The Sprouts (esp Langley Park and Steve McQueen) then it might be up your street.

Because you're suddenly on your own?

Yeah, but at least I don't have to put up with the odious Take That fans any longer!

My old pal Hamish is Robbie Williams 'official' photographer and as such landed the plum job of being the official snapper for the Take That reunion launch. So all those piccies you're seeing acroos the media are his. He is a fine fellow, a Brummie and a Villa supporter. So at least someone credible is benefitting from all the palava.
In a previous life he was the bassist with shoegazers 'Revolver' but we all have our crosses to bear I s'pose ;-)
