Any chance of a date in Scotland, been to the last two at The Arches in Glasgow - Fantastic

And what about Copenhagen Denmark? You cancelled last time... It would be fantastic;-)

And Manchester.....Pleeease...

whats the line up?

I'm sorry but there's unlikely to be other dates apart from those we've listed. The band had enough trouble convincing venues to take them on as it is ... what the hell is wrong with these promoters and why can't they get a gig in the US?

The line-up will be John French, Denny Walley, Mark Boston plus Eric Klerks and Craig Bunch from the Drumbo band

I am not surprised they can't get dates.Whilst to Magic Band fans all ex-members are special, only John French and Mark Boston could be called essentials .Denny good but.
The others were not MB members.
Now the anger seems to have abated with the passing of the Capt., if he could have added Bill Harkelroad, Art Tripp, Victor Hayden or Eliot Ingbar, we would be cooking.

To have found and encouraged Jeff Cotton would have been truly Magic and brought the whole thing full circle.

Disagree with Frank, but hearing this line-up on YouTube and having their album Back To The Front, I know that the spirit and intent of their performance is quintisentially DVV. I speak from having seen the original five times live (and met with and spoken to Don) and listening to the music for the last 40 years.. John French has a great voice and his respect and appreciation flows out of his voice. Unfair, Frank.

Have to agree with Cogs.
John wouldn't do the music unless he could do it justice. Jerry 65 to 68.

Sorry guys ! I was referring to the lack of dates vis a vis promoters not the quality or integrity of the music. Having seen the MB 6 times including LSE in 68, I appreciate the length's John French has gone to keep the music live and told him so after the gig at the Astoria in 2005.
Don't worry I'll be the first through the door at the upcoming Scala gig.
Bring it on.!!

Gerry its a pity you are not coming with them. My original point was that there may not be many more MB tours and it would have great to see some of the originals in the line up.

Thanks for remembering. Wish I could be the 2nd person through the door at the Scala gig,just not in the cards. John's keeping the "Magic" going. I know Don& Alex would both appreciate that. Thanks for your kind thoughts, Jerry "65" to"68".

I am not very good at this Blogger lark but if you would like to drop me an e-mail privately we could continue a conversation off-line.
