A brief conversation ending in hello

Hello everyone,

I'm Duncan, from Brighton, South England. I have been a rabid Sylvian fan since belatedly discovering Polaroids in Woolworths in the mid-80's. From the moment I heard Nightporter I was sucked into Mr Sylvian's twilight world. I then delved into the solo stuff and like Moodyb "Brilliant Trees" is my favourite album of all time. I have seen Mr S a few times notably on the Road To Graceland tour and more recently the FITF show in London. At the latter, I met a good friend and fellow Sylvian stalker Sahara Blue - known to me as Donna, some of you will no doubt be familiar with her. Great to have this forum! Keep up the good work! (though I can't upload any video stuff as of yet)

Wecome Duncan!

Thanks so much for joining! I love how you refer to her as a Sylvian stalker! I can relate! =) I hope to read more posts from you, and I would LOVE to see those videos you have!

Thank you again,

-Kera-

Sylvian stalker here..

but lest anyone get the wrong impression, it WAS pure happenstance that I was staying at the same hotel as David and the band in London and LA...I promise!!

As with everyone else here, I am an avid Sylvian fan and have loved JAPAN/David for over 20 years (god, I feel old). My favourite JAPAN albums are Quiet Life and GTP.. I can't single out just one. Brilliant Trees will always be my most cherished solo album - a sentimental favourite that has seen me through the many ups and downs in my adult years..

I've been lucky enough to see David live 7 times..2 shows on the Shaman tour, 1 Road to Graceland, 3 E&N and lastly that magical evening at the RFH during the FITF tour. I haven't given up hope that David will tour again - either with Nine Horses or solo sometime in the not too distant future..

A huge THANK YOU to Kera for doing such a fantastic job with the forum..

Hello you two - great to have you here in this lovely little place...pull up a chair, re-apply your mascara, and pour yourself a martini.

:wink:

Nice to meet you Duncan and Donna.

Donna, you certainly have been blessed to see David so many times, and I am glad to hear you are optimistic about another tour sometime. I would love to have another chance to see David for the first time.
