| Hi dear friends! Yesterday evening I went with some friends to a Dominic Miller gig with Mike Lindup in Milan. A nice evening and a veeeery nice surprise: Phil Gould was there too, in the public, and we met both Mike and Phil, as you can see in the image below (from the left: Lo, Mike, myself, Rocco and Phil). http://www.midnightphotos.co.uk/userimages/full/7/3444.jpg There are very interesting things we've been informed. The gig was again fantastic... they played great Dominic stuff and there was a brilliant percussion-man with them tonight, named Rhani Krija. Dominic is so talented and so amusing on the stage. . . Mike was very energetic on the piano and did many vocalizing throught the various tracks. They performed also "Love meeting love" instrumental so brilliantly. . . (Phil, too, later made us notice that it was a long time since that track hadn't been played - and that he liked it very much!) Mike was very kind after the gig, we approached him when he was making some photos with Dom for the fans and he stayed with us for about ten minutes. LEVEL 42 First of all, he said he had recorded some vocals (yeah!) and some keyboard parts for the new Mark King's - Level 42 album, and he added that the tracks - for what he've heard - are very nice (reassuring us with a "you'll see..." comment), but also that "the new album will come out... oh, i don't know, probably next year. Probably." SOLO ALBUM Then, he told us he's working on a new solo song album project, but that recently the musical direction of his compositions is taking a different road. . . so he's working on it and also making the right efforts to produce it. I asked him if he's going to include "Love is the answer" ( in the new album, but he said probably no, because now that song is 7 years old, and he finds it's quite different if compared with what he's playing right now. ("maybe, if i re-write it in another way"). LOOK About the beard - i said he looked fine with it - he revealed that it comes and goes, it is not a long term self look-decision. PHIL Then a man passed behind him; they cheered for a moment and when the unknow (until then) one went away Mike said: "ehi! Look there: it's Phil Gould!" - we were astonished, what a surprise! Mike told us he was in Milan to record some parts with an Italian artist named Fabio. . . and he forgot the surname! so we still don't know who Phil is playing for. . . Then we left Mike and approached Phil and he was very kind and pleased someone wanted to talk to him. My friend Lo was so emotioned, as he's a (great and brilliant) drummer too. . . He said he is involved in some project with Mike playing too. He also apologized for the lack of material appearing on his website, but prayed to stay tuned, too. PHOTOS And then we've stolen much more seconds to Mike and Phil to make 2 photos (thanks to Lo for the camera and to my friend Isabella for the shooting). Nice music. Nice evening. And of course a nice and absolutely unexpected surprise. Ciao, Giando :-) | ||

| Hi Gang, It has been a longish time since I've talked to the digest or even spent time thinking too much about it. I was a loyal subscriber on the old email list...may it live warmly in all our memories. Anyways, I started rereading all the digests I have in my email box for Level 42, and currently I am at Volume 99 Issue 139 and my email tells me I have 1450 more to read...so I don't expect to get caught up for quite a while. If anyone has anything of interest that I ought to be reading about or even some cool stuff that the group has done since I stopped reading, group projects, CDs, buttons, pins, shirts, etc. I would sure be interested in finding out about it. I'm having a great time remembering all the past memories of digests past.....Loz, Dirkies, Andrew Goodwin (do I have that right?), Winston, and of course our 'leader' Eric H. without whom none of this would have been the same. I know I am forgetting people and for that I apologize. Dirk, I sent you an email.....did you get it? Thanks, doug |
