Well 2013 is almost gone and I can say it has been quite an eventful year for us, with some wonderful memories of shows we have done this year. We are looking forward to 2014 and are currently filling the diary with more shows. All details of these shows will be posted on the website at regular intervals.
We do hope to play many new venues all around the country in 2014 as well as returning to many of our favourite venues. We will be spending the first couple of months working purely on new material for inclusion in the shows and look forward to performing this live.
Obviously one event that took everyone by suprise this year was David Bowie’s return with The Next Day, his first album release in 10 years! Pesonally, I love the new material and can say that the special edition with bonus tracks is a must have. Many people have asked my thoughts as to whether I think David will perform live again. Of courseI would love to think that he might but I really don’t know, David has always been unpredictable and full of suprises.
With the huge success of the V&A exhibition and the new material I certainly feel that David has reached a new and younger audience who are becoming very inquisitve about the incredible back catalogue of work that is out there. I am very pleased for the success he has had this year and as a long time follower I wish David, Iman, Duncan and Lexi all the very best for the New Year.
As some of you are aware the band and myself do have a Twitter accounts but must admit that I do not seem to find the time to check on this. So if anyone has sent tweets to me or Aladdinsane please do not think that we are ignoring you. I will aim to spend more time on this next year.
On a final note, shortly there will be some updating done on our website including new photos and live footage. On behalf of Aladdinsane I would like to thank you all for the fantastic support you have given this year. We wish you all a Happy New Year with good health and best wishes and look forward to seeing you in 2014.
