Announcement
From GARY PERKINS & THE BREEZE
Unfortunately, the start of 2002 has not been a good
one for the band, after 7 years together Gary has
decided to split the band up. This has been a hard
decision but because he has been doing so well on
the busking side of his career, & the lack of
time he has had to spend with his children at weekends,
he has decided to call it a day.
No
one will be more upset than me to not be playing again
for the band, I have loved every minute of it &
will miss you all very much. I would personally like
to thank you all for supporting us through the years,
life definitely will not be the same without you,
& thank you for visiting the website, & leaving
those great messages.
As
for the future I don't know, I would love to continue
playing & so would Steve, I have yet to talk to
Gareth & Phill regarding their decisions but I
do know they have been getting tired of travelling
( isn't it a shame they haven't invented teleporters
yet). Maybe, we will be able to get a singer good
enough to replace Gary, or maybe we should just take
early retirement, at the moment I am in shock, so
until I have gathered my thoughts I could not tell
you where we go from here. I do know two things though,
there is no buzz bigger than being on that stage,
& sitting in my studio with all this equipment
I soon want to start recording again, if anybody is
interested send me an e-mail.
Gary,
has cancelled all the gigs after April, & he does
want us to continue until then, but I have to be honest
here, I personally do not want to, don't ask me why,
but when there is no incentive to play, except to
see you lot again, I don't think I can do it, but
thats just me (being a bit emotional).Oh well, I suppose
thats it, once again thank you all for your support
over the years, maybe one day we will see you again!
Its been one hell of a ride.................
One
extremely gutted guitarist Andy.
A
sad day for everyone Andy and as one of your biggest
fans I can only wish you all the best and who knows
there just may be a "Phoenix" in the ashes.
Lets hope so for all of your fans and everyone here
at Firing Line. Johnny Two Left Feet.
