emails from Uncle Fish: 2007

Dear FishHeads, Freaks, fans and The Company,

Just back from Edinburgh where I gave an interview to BBC1 Oxford for their local news section to be transmitted tomorrow (Friday) after the national news. It's a piece about the Hobbles gig on Sunday and my memories of early days in Aylesbury.
Satellite channel on Sky 985.

11.15 there's a live phone interview on Mix FM Aylesbury with interviews on Planet Rock with Mick Abbot on the afternoon about 2 or so. I am visiting Total Rock that day as well to hand in the album and conduct a possible interview with Malcolm Dome depending on his free time on the show.

Also clicked up are interviews with the South Wales Echo, The Fife Free Press and the Central Fife Times today. Print dates are unknown.

I was slightly disappointed with the current Classic Rock pieces especially the review which concentrated more on my personal situation rather than the content of the album. I suppose it was an obvious angle and I am sure I'll get used to it as the 13th Star moves out of dock.

But the fact is the machine is switched on and I am sure as the weeks go by the impetus will be created and the waves will be created to carry me into the touring.

The new merchandise will be with me just before the Edinburgh show. It's a vast range and will include limited edition shirts as well as skinnies and 5 other T designs, hoodies, jackets, beanies, baseball caps etc. Stuart Graham, who was with me in '93, is back in charge to replace Dave Gould who has moved out of the frame for family reasons.

Mark has done some great designs and I'm sure you will like them ;-)

Off down to London tomorrow to catch Will Smith and Ricky Gervais at the Bloomsbury as their warm ups for the Scottish shows this weekend. After seeing the Foo Fighters and Nine Inch Nails on Tuesday it appears I have some semblance of a social life again. I actually went with Taz to the gig which was pretty cool. She hit the mosh pit and ended up with bruised feet and covered in sweat and dust. I chose the more relaxed position head banging at the mixing tower. Great gig btw. I thought NIN played a tight and slick set but everyone was there to see the Foos. Dave Grohl was in great form and blew everyone away. He is a master at stadium settings and the Foos are perfect for big rock ready crowds! Couldn't have been better! Taz loved it! :-)

Saturday is my interview schedule and then up to Oxford to stay with Mark Kelly before the Aylesbury gig which I am so looking forward to!

Now these are friendly ghosts I'm happy to embrace :-D

love
Onkel Fish
