Wayne solo tour

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Anyone planning to see Wayne on his solo tour later this year?

Refreshingly honest of him to admit that the only reason he's doing it is to pay for his house extension. Hmm, wonder if he's chosen a kitchen supplier yet ...

The new Mish single features the novelty (any port in a storm) of having each member of the band contributing a lead vocal to one of the tracks. Which means that we get to hear Craig "sing" lesson one song. There's a teaser on Slicing Up Eyeballs if anyone's interested.

thought about d/ling it but it wasnt immediately apparent which link to click on, then it was all "sign up for" then i read "legendary singer-songwriter" and almost wet myself .....so i didn't bother.
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.

I do like, you know, them but isn't his solo stuff just him frigging about on guitar or piano? Isnt that just busking by any other name?

in all fairness i supppose you could level (no pun intended) the same accusation at Justin Sullivan's solo gigs...but Slade's a much stronger vocalist and performer in general, not to mention the quality of song-writing being in a different league. sometimes wayne looked and sounded exposed even with a full band behind him. (in my humble opinion).

I haven't seen either frontperson live on their lonesome so the best I can do is compare Bare, which I found a deathly dull and simply unimaginative collection of cover versions, with Navigating By The Stars which I found pretty pleasant, and not massively different to the more quiet stuff NMA had done over the years.

You missed something, as you didn't proceed ... :lol: ... It's always worthwhile to give that guy another try ...

This time he's eventually hit the nail ... Marian intro and ... getting better with age ... ok ...

His solo tours are pretty much like Bare.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

Nice hometown interview here : http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Wayne-Huss ... story.html fancy Wayne playing a Bierkeller. I would have thought a Yates' Wine Lodge would have been more appropriate.
