Classix Nouveaux was the first non-Finnish band I saw live. That was November 1982. I saw them again on stage next summer. Classix Nouveaux was my biggest favourite back then... and then I found a band called Japan.

My debut on the music video: 'Take Me To Your Leader' by Processory

The Electricity Club (http://www.electricity-club.co.uk) interviewed me a month ago about my "amazing adventures". One of the questions was " Tell me a funny story about one of your meetings " and I told about meeting Mick Karn and Steve Jansen . I don't know if it's funny but you can read it here ...

I'm going to see Ultravox twice in London, first Hammersmith Apollo then Roundhouse gig (that is to be filmed for DVD release). Two people were originally going to come with me to Apollo gig but they decided to go to Roundhouse gig instead. Therefore I ended up owning extra tickets that I bought ...

Hammersmith Apollo 24.4.2009 - ticket for sale, excellent seat

Edit 20.4.2009: TICKET SOLD.

Sounds fantastic!

So where can I find the pictures?

From www.ultravox.org.uk:

"Warren Cann, Chris Cross, Billy Currie and Midge Ure - all four members of the 1980s Ultravox lineup - are coming together for the first time since performing at Live Aid in 1985, for a UK tour in 2009".

But I wasn't. I was dissapointed wit 'Astronaut' (the album ).

No kidding, really.
