Hello From New Zealand!

Tell us a little bit about you...

Hello From New Zealand!

Postby Lady Arcadia on Sat Jun 02, 2007 11:53 pm

Hello from New Zealand!

I didn't realise there was a message board for David Sylvian fans until I stumbled across this the other day! It is really great to find others who share a love for David's music. I am also signed up to the Nightporter site/yahoo group, so I may have met a few off you already.

A little bit about myself.....? Have been a follower of David's work for around 15-16 years now. Have tried to convert others to his music, - have had about a 50/50 success rate so far. And took the love of the band to extremes, with the aid of Deed Poll. So I am legally, Ellyn Sylvian. (When I explain to others how the name came about.. I get some very strange looks, oh well)

Am quite into the whole Scrapbooking thing, I have completed quite a few. Am nearly finished a three album one on Arcadia (a Duran Duran spin off from 1985) and am starting to plan one for both Japan and David Sylvian. (Although will have to collect a few more cuttings etc, so it may mean some late night ebay hunting.)

I am also quite fond of Duran Duran as well, (one seems to compliment the other I think), and have to admit that I got into Japan via Duran Duran, well more importantly Nick, who is still my favourite in that band...

Anyway, enough about all that. Will end my introduction with a big THANK YOU to the organisers of this site. And I look forward to hearing from you all soon.

Ellyn Sylvian

Hello Ellyn

Welcome to the board.
:D
Seems there are a few DD fans here too. I always liked John and also have a soft spot for Nick Rhodes as I met him shopping in Ebony on South Molton Street the day Please Please Me went to number one and he was delighted to talk about it to a fan.

Welcome to the board, Ellyn!! I can't say that I am a Duran fan since I don't own any of their CDs, but my best friend, when I lived in England some years ago, was a huge fan and I always drooled over John *SIZZLING* Taylor. She listened to Duran non-stop, and I listened to Japan non-stop.

I remember when Please Please... was number 1 on the charts. You are lucky to have met Nick Rhodes, Steerpike!

you would have thunk the avid fans would be sticklers for those kinda details!

(it IS one of their best songs imho - although I remember the vid that went with Girls On Film better for some reason :-D )

Eric, I can't figure out why you liked that video better :P

Actually my first DD video was the "Is there something I should know" one, but it was with "Union of the Snake" that I became a fan :)
