old songsNot a problem Clarky, I'd be delighted to sign them for you. I played a gig in Brindisi in Italy with Mel Gaynor. We were called Forbes/Gaynor and friends. We had two girl singers with us,(one being Melissa Gaynor,Mel's daughter),and the other girl was Louise Berry, who starred in the film 'the Slab Boys'. She sang 'Pleasantly Disturbed', and it was wonderful. I'm sure we could persuade the lovely Jane to do it in the near future. By the way, what are the 'missing Minds songs', that you never hear them doing, and also it would be nice to have some more Big Country and H2O favourites seeing the light of day. Wait till you hear our new songs. I think you'llbe 'Pleasantly Surprised', no pun intended..(What Pun?) Ian? Merry Christmas, and see you at Oran Mor.Derek Forbes

Missing Minds songsHi Derek,I noticed that AFGM are gonna play in Breda! For the lost Minds-songs I'd definitely like to hear Sons and Fascination, 70 Cities, Changeling and Sweat in Bullet. Songs with great basslines... so Greetings Hjalmar (The Netherlands) |
||||
| Guest |
Where did you hear that?
Notice that there are several bands called afgm http://www.afgm.org.uk/ (british) http://home.wanadoo.nl/peter.goderie/ (dutch) But...it would be great news. I'd love to see them. regards, Robert |

Hi Robert,
yep, I think you're right..... Such a shame..... Hjalmar |

My other favorites (besides early Simple Minds) include, They Might Be Giants, Erasure, The Police, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, and Depeche Mode (the earlier the better).
For current music, I've started to take a liking to Fountains of Wayne and Slightly Stoopid. |

| Fudgie |
Oh , its a battle for me between Big Country and H2O.............
What about Bruce and Ian giving us a CELEBRITY BOXING MATCH to decide??? Only kidding lads............ All the best..............Fudgie |

U2 were always my favourite, especially around War and Unforgettable Fire, closley followed by Simple Minds, Sons and Fasination up to Sparkle in the Rain... I would like to see a few good men do some stuff from that era, like the american, sweat in bullet, kick inside stuff like that.....

Well out of that lot it would have to be Gary Numan, followed by Simple Minds. I only really like the early Numan stuff, and lost interest in Simple Minds after New Gold Dream, but their best stuff is up there and always will be. Ey-up

Tabnab, you've been listening to those email chimes (you know, the ones to confirm a sale from ebay )to long ,
The Minds have done fantastic things since NGD, i know the title is hard to accept but black and white
|
||||
| AFARR |
Couldn't agree more Black & White 050505 is a fantastic album! 
|
||||
| dforbes |
did you both realise that I am on Black and White ???
|

Hi Derek
I heard you mention that you did in one of your interviews. Of course thats why its soooo good Which tracks on B&W by the way?
Have you been asked for the next one (looking for inside info here you know ??)
Andrea x 
|
||||
| dforbes |
couldn't tell you if my life depended on it Andrea, as they were not titled when I was recording .
|
||||
| ALI BIN TABNAB |
Were you credited on the sleeve notes Derek?
I got a copy of it from Lord Bootleg, so I don't know whether you were. There's this old fella who works with me and Lord Bootleg called Gary McKaizen, and he's forever whistling the piano line from 'Stay Visible' Stop laughing Billy
|
||||
| billy |
Derek
I heard you mention this before, i know it was recorded quite a while before it was released did you record the demos or finished tracks? One of the tracks has got to be 'Stay Visible', when i first heard it, the bass just stood out, thats got you all over it or Mr Duffy has learnt very well as i think you are his idol Billy |
||||
| billy |
Tabnab
I heard 'those magnificent men in their flying machines' yesterday followed by 'question of sport'', followed by a story or 2 
|
||||
| ALI BIN TABNAB |
Aye, McKaizen done the whistle part on Ferry's Avalon, don't ya know.
|
||||
| AFARR |
Derek - your life does depend on it lol!!
Go on have a guess (I assume you have heard the finished product?) Stay Visible? Home? Stranger? you have me in suspense!! (now Tabnab behave yourself!!)
|
||||
| dforbes |
must admit..have never heard said album...
|
||||
| AFARR |
Derek
Do you want me to loan you a copy as I have two?
(Think I am off the Xmas card list (if I was ever on it)...... lol!)
|
||||
| ALI BIN TABNAB |
Aye, but you've got a copy of it Derek, and did play it...but you couldn't hear it as it was drowned out by yer mut's flatulence.

Simple Minds for me - but i have enjoyed all the other bands mentioned - Propaganda and Big Country have certainly enjoyed a few spins on my record deck more than many other bands.
Cant wait to hear all the influences during a few FG men gigs coming up. |
