New memeber!

Oh bugger, just saw the typo in the header.

It also appears I can't spell hahahaha!!

Welcome! Things are a bit quiet right now, hopefully traffic will pick up a bit when Lightsleeper comes out. I'm not crazy about the FM move either (though I DO like FM), but because it will impede new Neil music. 

Hi SCI,

A Lightning Seeds Fan?

Home of the original dizzy heights 😀 What do you think of Neil's version of the theme?  I actually prefer Ian Broudie's  ballad to Neil's tbh.  Although there some great Neil songs on his DH.

Hope you enjoy the forum, I think a lot of frenz are dubious about the FM collaboration, me incuded, only time will tell if Neil's bravery will pay dividends.  Shame it seems to be over shadowing Lightsleeper, Neil and Liam are great together on stage and a UK tour would create some much needed interest.

Hi! Welcome!

You've moved to a beautiful part of the world. I can't imagine doing the epic journey back to the UK so often! You must be a pro at sleeping on planes by now :-D

Thank you all for the welcome

I like the Lightning Seeds Dizzy Heights album a lot, it was nice to hear more of a band sound than the synths and drum machines on Jollification.

It's interesting because I see Neil and Ian as opposite sides of the same coin, the Lightning Seeds stuff is in general pretty immediate and obviously 'hooky' whereas I find Neils work to be sonically deeper and not as immediate but longer term more gratifying if that makes sense!

But they are both incredibly talented writers in a similar sphere.

I do very much agree a UK tour would help an awful lot. Pretty much everyone I've introduced Neil and Liams stuff to has loved it so it's a bit of a shame, I hope after the Fleetwood Mac stuff it will get revisited

Hobart is a lovely part of the world if a little bit quiet for me most of the time. Being used to living in big cities that never shut it's quite bizarre when you can't get a pizza after 10pm!

The commute honestly is a killer, I spend most of my time either on a plane, thinking about getting on a plane or recovering from being on a plane.
