m*****n statement from That Guitarist
I know I promised you a statement about my, and the band's, future a
little while ago but I've had to deliberate long and hard about this so
I've taken my time as this hasn't come as an easy decision for me to
make.
I love this band and have spent the best part of my adulthood dedicated
to the cause. However, I do think it's time for me to try something
else.
I've decided that the February London Shepherds Bush shows will be the
last m*****n shows. The reasons are myriad and involved and I certainly
wouldn't want to bore you with all the details.
However, I do think I owe you at least some explanation.
Firstly, I want to say that in GIAB I think we made an album that
stands more than favourably alongside anything we/I have ever released
as The m*****n. GIAB is a great way to bow out. I mean, I have made
some crap albums and it would've been sad to have finished with one of
them. But with GIAB we go out with our heads held high and secure in
the knowledge that our final album is a real goodie.
And that also brings me to the idea that the Shepherds Bush shows be
the last ones.....That is another great way to end. I wanted the band
to finish on a high and what better way to finish than by playing these
4 London shows celebrating the history of The m*****n.
This is an opportunity for us to play for you, you who have been so
loyal and supportive to both myself and the band over the years, and to
be able to say goodbye in an appropriate setting and manner. It will be
emotional, I'm sure, for me as well as for you.
Life after Shepherds Bush? I'm not sure yet but I have been working
pretty much non-stop on m*****n related projects for the last 4 years
and more to the detriment of my desire to work on other projects and
collaborations. I would really like to be able to go into my studio to
write and make new music without thinking 'How can I make this work for
The m*****n?'
I shall greatly miss The m*****n, Mark, Rich, and Springy, but I just
feel it's time for me to try something new. I'm not gonna say I'll
never come back to The m*****n because, as you know, this has happened
before back in the mid 90's and I may well want a return to doing this
again after a sabbatical. Who knows? I certainly don't at this point.
Anyway, I'd just like to finish by thanking you for your support over
the last 22 years that The m*****n has been in existence and I hope to
be able to say goodbye to you all in person at the Shepherds Bush shows
next February. Hopefully see you there for one last big ol' knees-up.
Cheers,
Wayne
Hardly a surprise, really...
