Unofficial Simply Red Forum

Redlolls...some good points made. There were a lot of duplicate memberships on the old boards. I think even if you took all those out, though, there would still be a lot more than there are now--if all who were on board then were on now. I know why some have left but not others. Feels like the "family" is breaking up some.

And I feel as you do--would rather see more "on-topic". The most active threads right now aren't that, though. But as you say, everyone has their things that they get out of the site, and as long as everyone there continues to get what they need, things will be OK.

Via...I've often wondered the same thing, about how "locked-in" the band members feel. Would like to sit and discuss such with them. I know that they're all hired on a session basis and are keenly aware of whose project it is (witness Pete's blurbs in the Sicily interview, for instance)...but the few I have had a chance to ask about how they get along with the others, they say that they have a great time playing with their bandmates, it has a "band" feel rather than a bunch of session guys hovering 'round each other. Several of them have worked together on non-SR projects, so that would indicate some connection.

I think we're lucky...this is the longest Mick's kept any particular lineup intact. I hope he continues to keep them together.

Hi all!
I think the question about "how "locked-in" the band-members feel" gets answered when you just watch how joyful they are playing their instruments when they are on stage. They seem to be a great group of people, there's a good chemistry between them. And I'm pretty sure that Mick knows it and that he's pretty happy with the recent line-up...
...anyway, these are just my thoughts.

I want to wish you all a fantastic 2007.


Hi Vialetta,

sorry that I need that long to answer but I was at my family's in Strasbourg for Christmas and New Year.

To answer your question.
I am a little all over europe at the moment.
My family is from Strasbourg, where I was born and grow up.
Working for a Swiss Company, based in Basel, who send me to Stavanger in Norway for 6 month this summer.
Will be back in Switzerland in March and hope to stay there for a while.

Love, Amelie x
