Any of the moderators noticed that we are getting Yuku adverts again? i really don't need to be asked if i need a flat belly....

The Blog!

Nice to see some regular news being posted now via the new blog. Particularly interesting is the news that original MA vocalist Heidi and her band will be the support act at the Opera House gig on 5th December. With Josh & Co. Ltd playing the night before I'm sure it will be a great weekend. Let's just hope the Josh gig doesn't have that idiot MC that appeared mysteriously at the Bedford gig.

Chat Room no longer working

feeds@yuku.com (Kalyr) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:28:20 GMT

Looks like we no longer have a working chatroom, folks. The premium subscription seems to have expired, which is why we've started seeing all those scammy ads again. The other consequence (I think) of downgrading to a standard free forum is we lose the chatroom.

Nice 3 page interview with Heather & Evergreen, live, on the free CD

Live 2009 - Set 2

feeds@yuku.com (clustertwo) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:57:32 GMT

Great news about Set 2 now ready to be ordered, and close to being ready for shipment. The band can't have had many better years than 2009 on the road with the outstanding quality of their performances. The strength of their current line up resulting in a year of fantastic live shows which just seemed to get better and better.

I've just ordered my copy. Looking forward to...

MA @ Shepherds Bush?

feeds@yuku.com (clustertwo) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:14:10 GMT

I've just been on the Panic Room website and looked at their live dates section. Expecting to find nothing there, there was one gig listed. May 15th at Shepherds Bush Empire supporting Wishbone Ash and Mostly Autumn. Panic Room on at 7pm. There's nothing mentioned about this gig on either the MA or Wishbone Ash website as far as I can see. I wondered if anyone knows anything about this gig?

Hopefully, it will be MA headlining. We get a longer set and Gavin and Anne-Marie get...

Children in need

feeds@yuku.com (flook36) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:43:31 GMT

hi, had a thought, most years radio 2 is requests with donations for children in need on the day so it thought i might be a good idea if as many of us who can requested ma on the ken bruce show, i would suggest flowers for guns would fit in well, if enough of us do it might get played wich would be fantastic and also do our bit for a good cause, anyone agree.

Josh & Co @ Bedford

feeds@yuku.com (clustertwo) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:40:03 GMT

It really was a privilege to be in the audience for Bryan's first gig performing Through These Eyes. Excellent sound quality in the venue as well. Not the largest of crowds, almost certainly due to the appalling weather we had to endure on Saturday that made travelling very difficult. The Dartford bridge being closed was extremely unhelpful.

Back to the gig. On a historic night, Parade kicked off the night with what I believe was also their first live gig. The musicians were all...

Hi Everyone... For anyone that might be interested... I'm playing my acoustic set O'Niells on Friday 4th December. O'Niells is literally 3 mins away from The Duchess and just around the corner from The Grand Opera House in York and I'll be onstage until around 12.15am. I play a selection of acoustic covers (chosen from a list by the crowd) which include Pink Floyd, U2, Snow Patrol etc... I might even throw in an original...

I'd like to thank you for your continued feedback and support, both with comments about 'Damaged Goods in Transit' (attached in the last mailout) and responses to my call for promotional suggestions. People have got back to me with some very interesting ideas, and will be duly credited in the next collection's acknowledgments. As ever, it's never too late to get in touch, and I aim to reply to all responses personally. So, if anyone can think of any more marketing ideas...

Burnley - 31/10/09

feeds@yuku.com (Plague) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 10:51:33 GMT

First of all I best say 'Hi' - im new here! (though listening to MA for a few years now and seen them live half a dozen times as well) Was at Burnley last night to take my father and also my father-in-law and it was just fantastic - living in Blackburn and having them so close. Been to see them in Wolverhampton and Bilston a few times (and Stratford once which was a good Christmas one) but that was the best I've seen them last night. Carpe Diem was just fantastic, as was pass the...

Anyone familiar with the Mandalaband?

feeds@yuku.com (nick63) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:28:46 GMT

Hi,
Is there anyone out there who is familiar with the Mandalaband?
They, he David Rohl, made 2 albums in the 70-ies. And the second "Eye of Wendor" became a cult album in the Symphonic Scene.
Now 30 years later he did the trick again; a very strong album called BC Ancestors, with Troy Donockley (not only on Pipes and whistle, but also on guitar).

Think you people in the UK should know this man, he wrote books about the ancient world, and some BBC series for...

Great news about the MA blog, and a real boost for the Forum. It will be good to hear directly from the band, hopefully on a regular basis, and get the inside track. Let's hope it works out to be a great success.

Thanks for setting this up

Followed by Fading Colours and Find the Sun

At least according to the last.fm charts, that is. Interesting reading, since this reflects what MA songs people are actually listening to. Obviously it's very heavily skewed towards...

New Book - In Memory of Real Trees

feeds@yuku.com (Heart full of sky) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:40:05 GMT

I hope you'll forgive the slightly shameless self-promotion, but I know a few people here were interested in my last book, and so I wanted to let you know about my forthcoming collection of poetry, 'In Memory of Real Trees', which will be officially released on November 28th.

If you'd like a little more information about it, you'll find a copy of the press release on my blog (

CONVENTION

feeds@yuku.com (ANSTEY STEVE) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 17:55:40 GMT

Whilst we seem to have a bit more activity on the forum I thought I would try running this one past people again :>)

The one Convention that we have had was great fun and seemed to be successful - any chance of another one ?
The format to the last one seemed to work well but with the extended family what a weekend we could have with the following bands strutting their stuff : Mostly Autumn, Josh & Co, Breathing Space , Parade, Odin Dragonfly, Angela Gordon, Anne Marie...
