Just stumbled across something in my iTunes library that I didn't know was there.
It's an interview with Marcus Hummon and Mark on Janice Long's radio show (sounds like her anyway).
Stuart didn't make it into the studio as he was suffering from a virus apparently.
Anyway, Mark was talking about BC and said there were tentative plans for a one-off show - the following year - at the Royal Albert Hall, to celebrate 20 years of the band. So I guess he was talking about that gig happening 2002.
Got a lump in my throat hearing that. |

| Thanks for confirming Robb. I guess the interview was some time in 2001, when The Raphaels were playing in the UK? As well as not making it into the studio, Janice Long also said Stuart had left the gig the had been playing earlier half way through the set. |

| Delete your copy of the interview if it upsets you that much. |

| Why would I do that? Emotions exist for a reason. They're not to be hidden from. |

| Just trying to help. I believe there is a time and place to dive into memories, it's a silly thing upsetting ones self on purpose, I read in smash hits magazine an interview with Stuart following the release of "King Of Emotion" and he stated that sad and upsetting songs give a more predominant effect and inspire a more truthful response from the listener, I have to agree. |

Phil. Marcus & Mark played 2 or 3 songs on that interview didn't they?
I have a copy on tape somewhere but can't remember which tracks they did.
Can't remember much about the interview itself but remember Stuart wasn't there because he was ill. |

| They played Old Country Country and Toujour Aimez ('scuse spelling). And Marcus' voice live was brilliant, much richer than on the album. Great harmonies with Mark too. |
