OOH aint it great to have morrisey come play to us again... I am going to the manchester show I hope..... maybe he'll invite me for a wander round a cemetery...... the closest I got was when I went to visit REM playing in hammersmith london and he was backstage... I knew micheal stipe and the band because when I was in The Gang of Four touring the states, REM supported us.... I adored them and every sound check I would be there drinking in all the luscious harmonics of the MURMUR album that they were promoting.... so life went on , I quit singing back up and joined up with london life, met mark nevin , had hits... had children etc... then REM started to impact over here in a big way... ORANGE CRUSH was the single... Micheal was telling me that a hit would be so good for them because it make everything easier... they were all really happy for me that I had had some success with Fairground Attraction.... Anyway Morrisey was backstage and I was starstruck .. there were so many other 'star' types around that night... so I stood on the sidelines...

During the show morrisey came to where I stood and asked why I was there.... I told him all about the Gang of Four and my connection with the boys in REM... then morrisey did something really sweet... he said that he wanted to see the band from the sound desk and would I help him through the crowd... so he took my hand and I walked him to the sound desk... he melted my heart... and for a little while he left some messages on my phone.. but no return number ... so I couldnt contact him back... I heard he did that with other people...... anyway... I like that little memory...he's a sweetheart.

    The Fairground Attraction with Mark E. Nevin made a great album. I never even knew her name ! And -Oh my god !- that leads back in 1989...

      Moz at an REM-gig? (Score:1)
      Thats quite unbelievable. Moz has always stated he doesn't like REM one bit.

      Her brother is Frank Reader, lead singer of the Trashcan Sinatras...just a little trivia...

      The point? Francis is quite Morrisseyesque in both his writing and singing style and he also has a great live persona...

      I've mentioned them before...just go buy them and you'll have a new favorite band.
