I wanted to ask: if he knew that people sitting at the table were for diferent parts of Europe? And if yes, did was supprised at all ?
Hope is clear now.

not a problem! yes he did know we were from different parts of the world, got a feeling he recognised Andrew S & _emma_ which is not such a surprise as they stand in the front row at all the gigs. but i wouldn't say he was surprised, i think he knows he has fans from all over that follow them.

great, thanks for the info....now it's interesting to hear that "he has worked in one of the other band members to take over..." you can read anything you want in it:)

Dearest people, could you please stop slicing this holographic bubble to pieces? It hurts.

now that would be too easy

...make it go away etc

Thanks again MadameButterfly for sharing that great insight.

A friend of mine form the New Model Army forum told me that when Von organised the fundraiser concert for St Pauli, he came on stage and gave the New Model Army fans a crate of beer from the rider. My friend also spoke to him before the concert & said that he really is down to earth & quite shy and very polite.

I really wouldn't know what to say to him if I ever met him apart from "Thanks for 30 years of great music"

Cool. :O

you are most welcome! good story about your friend too. so many people said to me they wouldn't no what to say, but i guess if you don't act like a madman/woman fan and take the conversation as it comes, it rolls like that. i had also read about him being shy, was even told that, but Belgium makes him feel good obviously.

Great review Debs; compliments!

Taking over is one thing, singing lead vocals in Andrew's place is entirely another. Did he mention who might do that when he does decide to retire?

thank you Pat!! most appreciated!

sorry Prescott, but in taking over, i was meaning the organizing of gigs & that kind of business management within the band. Andrew is not planning on retiring any time soon & when he does, then i should think it would then be the end of TSOM. so no we didn't discuss far off future plans.

Okay! Thanks for the clarification! Glad to here you got to meet him! He really is a gentleman.

no problem! and thank you! i'm very happy about it too. indeed he is a gentleman with a wonderful sense of humour.
