I am fed up with being defined by my job, my car, my neighbourhood. This blog is an attempt to reclaim control over how I am defined.
During the 1980's I was the singer in a band called Sad Lovers And Giants. It was the time when I felt more like me than at any other time in my life. We toured, we recorded, we did a John Peel session.
We argued, we made up, we were a team and most of us are still in touch with each other. I was more creative, more driven, more alive then and I want to feel that way again.
As Morrisey said "there is a light that never goes out" so..................
Lets reform Sad Lovers and Giants!
Tony McGuiness (guitar) the only surviving professional musician (with Above and Beyond). He's up for it.
Cliff Silver (original bass player). He's not up for it following words with Tony after the gig in Italy 2003. This was not surpring considering the amount he drank before going on stage.
Nigel Pollard (drums). He's up for it, spoke to him two weeks ago, lives round the corner.
Juliette Sainsbury (keyboards). she'd be up for it only she lives in Hollywood.
Liam McGuiness (second bass player) he's up for it.
Simon Blanchard (original guitar). Had a brief e mail some months ago but I think I frightened him off by asking too many personal questions. Even if he was up for it Tony and Liam wouldn't be.
Dave Wood (original keyboards). Strangely I speak to his mother quite often but I'm certain he would not be up for it.
So we seem to be short of a keyboard player which leaves...... Ian Gibson (third bass player but keyboards with The Snake Corps).
How do I track Ian down and would he be interested? ARE YOU OUT THERE IAN?
Bye for now
Garce
