Freddie's 60th at the Dominion
By Jacky - "If you are interested in tickets for the special WWRY show at the Dominion on September 5th then PLEASE email me. I have been told we can have an allocation for Fan Club members, as the tickets are not being put on sale to the public. I need to know approximately how many to reserve, so drop me a quick mail here (qfc just saying how many you would require (they're £55 each, no limits, members only, but you can take guests!). We're not sure on how we will distribute the tickets yet, quite possibly we will take your booking,secured on a credit card, and then you will collect and pay for the tickets on the night. But once we know more it will be posted here!! Please do this as quickly as possible as we have to let the shows producers know soon!"
 
:::Site updates::: A lot of small little neat things - on all the right side!
  • I added new mini pictures. Hope you like them!
  • The shoutbox is now uninstalled and "the old" comment box is back online. Thanks to everybody that shouted out their thoughts. But the reason it had to go was the new feature that is now online:
  • An audio player... Hope you like to listen to some music while surfing through the site. You should have macromedia flash installed and allow scripts used on this website on your computer in order to listen to the songs. The playlist will change from time to time and I do hope you like the songs I have chosen. The first playlist is part I of a Cross gig from 1988 at the Hammersmith Palais. Online are tracks 1 to 6 due to limited server space (The quality of the tracks is reduced due to faster loading). Part II will be online next month. Enjoy!
  • New screencaps taken from the DVD "Band du Lac - One night only"
