Think we'll hear soon more big news from this gentle guitar player...
After Forever.
The Gothic band from the lovely South of the Netherlands has split up after 15 years and 5 albums.
Mark Jansen (nowadays in Epica) was a founding member of AFTER FOREVER and the main songwriter on the band's first
two releases, "Prison Of Desire" and "Decipher" said:
"When I heard about the news, I was sad as well," he revealed. "It's also my baby. I founded the band with Sander Gommans
[guitar] and as long as they were doing well, it made me proud too. AFTER FOREVER still has a very special place in my heart.
I will never forget all those great years and great memories."
Remembering his days with the band, he told that "I learned a lot in my seven years
in AFTER FOREVER. In the beginning, I did bookings, tour management, drove the band bus, loaded in and out all myself. I'm
a workaholic and this is the only way to make a band successful. But, of course, the biggest factor was the amazing talent of
Floor [Jansen, vocals] in combination with powerful riffs and catchy melodies."
At my friends place
DPRP (and indeed the Prog site of this side of the universe) you can read what Floor has to say).
Sharon Den Adel.
The front lady of Within Temptation joined forces with the Dutch house dj Amin van Buren. And no it's no Prog, but i like it.
Sharon is gifted with a golden voice and her looks takes away my breathe too.
Troy Donockley & Nightwish.
To stay in the Gothic sky with Nightwish. Troy Donockley, the Uillian Pipe player from York, will join
Nightwish on their tour. But while he's touring with Barbara Dickson now, he will join them at Paris and the following gigs
(23 March and the dates after...). So have fun with the magical combination.
Nightwish will release their new album "Made in HongKong" next month.
Troy is finishing his album "The madness of crowds". It also features brilliant artwork from Alastair Dickson the sculptor and Tim Martindale, and believe me the art work alone is worthed a buy... .
Patrick Moraz.
The keyboard player from Suisse who played in Yes, released a new proggy album called "Change of Space".
On this album are playing a lot of studio guests, with a jazzy touch. See
this page, or have a look at
his official site. { But there's not much news on it... }
Patrick also played in Refugee (a shoot of project The Nice, with Lee Jackson- bass and vocals and Brian Davidson (who died last year) - drums, both members of The Nice with of course Keith Emmerson).
Keith Emmerson.
The Progressive Dutch Venue, De Boerderij, did it again, they managed to get Keith Emmerson on their stage ; Friday 17th of July.
David Gilmour.
David played with Phil Manzenera on Tuesday 10 Feb 2009 & made a guest appearance to raise money for charity on the 31th of January (see
"live-appearances with").
And no he will not play at Arrows Rock! A hoax site tries to sell tickets, be aware! It's doubtly if Arrows will take place.
