PS Spearbabe are you not ment to be in Edinburgh jigging with the Simple Minded people :)

Hi
Anyone out there? tonight everyone in bed and no one to chat to :(

I'm always here...
Derko
I do believe that she has just shrunk Mick to the size of an action man and he is just running past my stage monitor to get his revenge, That is why I am looking down.
bruce, make arrangement to have me beamed up to where mick is...any connection problems contact "scotty", any problems with that, derek will vouche for me. don't devaulge my name to that mystery woman.
I think the mystery woman's code name is bogbrush heid. She is on a lone mission to beam up as many Good Men as she can. She is from the Planet Janet and not to be taken lightly. Proceed with caution.
will do..but she can't mess with Malc, Derek and yurself.. thats the core of the outfit ! no crazy witchcraft.

derek
set controls... nice..did you ever see Syd or those boys early years,
maybe they came up north? once or twice.
Unfortunately I was only a foetus at the time, but I was lucky enough to have Dave Gilmour to play an amazing solo on one of my songs on the second Propaganda album. The song is ' Only One Word ' from the 1234 album. I also partied with Dave at my friend Kirsty MacColl's birthday in London, in the late eighties.
great info, thanks...
Derek, were your ears burning over the bank hol weekend?.. :) nothing but good stuff said about yourself and Mick.. you wouldnt believe it!!
Aye, and it wasn't just Spearbabe and myself singing your praises..
It brought a tear to me little eye...
Who was it then.?..come on...spill the beans...
Derek the Curious
Hi Girls
Hope the gig was good
My nose is bothering me two spill the heinz
We Love it did that sound better lol
x
Consider them spilt.. Spearbabe and I were among others up in Edinburgh to see Derek's old combo play at the T In The Fringe. We caught up with several friends who have had the joy of seeing 4GM play over recent months, and all who mentioned you were recommending you to others.. The gig was good, but to be honest, the setlist was a bit predictable. They didn't play anything from the early days.. I think the oldest stuff they played was from NGD but I could be wrong..
Great stuff. Spread the word at every opportunity. Jim was asking Brian McGee about us, and of course, Brian gave him a very favourable report. I'm sure Jim knows that we are not trying to be Simple Minds, but we can't change who we are. The new songs are killer, so we hope you'll all be loving them as much as thwe old songs. Avanti Derek
Good to hear that Brian has been spreading the news too.. I have been sending the same message out too
You are an Angel...
Derek
Not only that Derek, there were others who in the crowd, virtual strangers I got talking to, who said above anything, they preferred the time when you both played for them, talk about staunch!! of course I filled them in with the FGM stuff.. theyre not daft they will be along...

Hi
Great the word is getting out I think from now and especially next year your going to be busy boys :)
But don't forget us ha
x
We love it! :)... one guy who was at the Edinburgh nite club same time I was there in 1980, I was talking to him at the gig and he was saying how there has only been ONE bass guitarist for him :)
In a respectful way mind.... :)
We love it
You two the promo girls
Jeez-o
We shall overcome
Derek
Good morning folks.. Any chance of me using my competition winnings of the two guest passes for the gig at the Arches, Derek?? Ta muchly.. You know I've been waiting everso patiently for a paying gig..
Of course you can, my pleasure, or was it the Governors Pleasure?
Derko
Hi Derek

Thank you kind sir.. and thanks too to Duncan. It was his Chips pic that did the business.. Looking forward to December.. Let's hope that it's not too chilly in the Trossachs for you when the winter sets in.. You'll be in need of a good pair of thermals!!
LGS
A good hot curry would soon fix that in more ways than one LOL
xx
I wonder if Tabnab will sort him out with a doggy bag from the Curry Hell event in Newcastle tomorrow, LOL.. If that doesn't warm him up, nothing will!!

Hi Flimshim
We play football in rain, sleet, snow and sunshine LOL
But were hoping it's an indoor affair Derek doesn't want to mess his hair
x
yes, you also do the same with the golf....i didn't know Derek was so particular about his hair..although he did have some interesting styles in those early days...
LOL
Yeah after years of putting a hole in the ozone layer with those mad hair do's
It doesn't stand so well :)
x
I've just spotted what the two girls with the phones are doing...checking the hair from the back with the cameras...or not...ah f### it, I'm off to my scratcher.

i think bruce knows...
the hair isn't whats important its the sound. bell boy--i've got to get running now ..!!! now thats some state side rambleing. stop it flim. hello all.
Hi Derek (and everyone else) I have been logging in to see what has been happening and it all sounds good. I was going to surprise you, but i may as well let you know now, that I'll be back in Glasgow this time next week and hope to see the band live.
You all need to take the blame for making me homesick ha ha, regards Duncan.
Hi Duncan
Good to see you again!! Hopefully the band can sort out a pre-US gig this side of the pond for you before you need to get back. How long are you over for??
Hi lastgirlstanding,
I haven't put a time limit on it this visit,it will be at least 2 months but probably 4 months if I can stand the weather over there.
cooooool, how about a big royal meetup!
That sounds like a great idea, but are you not based in Germany?
It's late down here, so night night everyone.
The Wizard of Oz
so what, the royal helicopter would come over any time for you guys...
good night duncan, sorry for the delay, but as you know someone has to do the work...
Night night Duncan.. though this is probably way past your bed time!!
Duncan, have a great time in Glasge and I am sorry we made you homesick :(

Your Majesty,
