I have spoken with most of the band in the past couple of days, and they are raring to go.
Mick had to leave for private reasons, which was not a reflection on the band, far from it. This spills over into Brian McGee and myself leaving Sons of Dan.
Graeme was with us on a session capacity, as Willemina says, and was a good servant to the band, and what a guitar player..
Frank O'Hare is without doubt, the best guitar player for the job, as he plays every song, note for note, so much so, that if you closed your eyes, you would swear that the original guitarist was playing with us.
The new songs that we promised in the past, will now see the light of day.
You will see big changes, and, hopefully, you will all be impressed by, what will be, a totally new set....apart from a couple of favourites of course..
Are we still having that party? You bet your life we are ! ! !
And, lastly, can I just wish Kelley a Happy 57th Birthday on Tuesday

Hi guys
I don't usually like being involved in all of this..  but being at the 1st EVER 4GM gig (under another name) I'd like to say that Mick wasn't playing at it, it was Dougie Vipond from Deacon Blue.
Things change and people have different things going on in their lives.
So stop giving these guys a hard time give them space they usually if they wish come back together, just support them in whatever they do, it is all for you guys anyway.
I wish Graeme Duffin all the best, he did a cracking job for the guys. Graeme and his wife are lovely people I have the great chance to meet and hope his leg is getting better
Frank is an amazing guitarist and I hope to see more of him at the gigs
I have for a long time been a great supporter of 4GM and even though at times the set list was repetative it was the enthusiasm of the band, even giving other band members a chance to shine and oh! Del in his kilt (what can I say those legs!!! )
They always had you bouncing and leaving you wanting more
FOR THAT I THANK YOU xx
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEWW SONGS !!
PS If it wasn't for 4GM I wouldn't have met most of you MAD LOT!!!
4GM and 4MW will live another day
NOW LET THEM GET ON WITH IT
LOVE YOU ALL
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey guys, havent checked out the forum for a couple of weeks.
Sorry to hear about SOD and also fact that Mick has left 4GM - I wish you all the very best for the future Mick. Had the pleasure of chatting to you a couple of times and you are a gentleman.
Im just glad that 4GM are still to continue. Over the moon that Frank will continue to play with the bad, remember seeing him in H20 and thought he was amazing then, and just gets better. Fab musician and another great guy.
Roll on 4th December, Xmas gig,....whoopa!!!!xx |

Saw the Alarm supporting U2 in Tiffanys in Glasgow circa December 1983 ... they were okay-ish. But, aside from 68 Guns, I can't for the life of me think of anything else they ever did. Obviously not too much to be treading the stage in a bigger venue/same city 25 years on.

I thought Jim Prime (formerly/briefly with Altered Images) played keyboards with Deacon Blue? Did he replace Vipond?

No, it was infact James Prime who played at the Special Olympics closing ceremony at Glasgow Green back then. Dougie was Deacon Blue's drummer. Didn't he once do the Judith Chalmers thing on the holiday programme on BBC1...he he.
Aye, it was indeed Jim 'Rolleyes' Prime, wasn't it Loretta? |

Oh so it’s Del’s legs now is it??? That’s noted Mrs……………..
Now just for your information the alarm sold out the carling academy in Glasgow on the last two occasions they played, check out the website www.thealarm.com.
SM didn’t………. yes they will probably sell out the SECC in December but then the singer chap did do a press release saying the original band would be back together!!! did this help sell tickets……was that the plan……who knows………..roll on the 4th of December

Well if that was the plan they should be shot with shit. Talk about misleading the punters.
BTW, I quite like The Alarm. I remember them doing a gig at Sunderland Poly back in the early 80's. During the daytime they shot some pool in a Sunderland pub called THE OLD 29. It was the only pub in town with a glass carpet . I was passing the pub when Mr Peters came out and nearly flattened me with his bouffant. He never even saw me.
And he went marching on...
