Navaira Group: Members Posts: 481 Joined: Jan. 2005 Posted: Mar. 01 2006, 08:27 I wonder how come he's all over the radio now? Did Virgin force him? Why does he promote Platinum so much more than he promoted L+S? I just don't get the logic behind this... -------------- http://www.raygrant.com :: My album 'Exorcism' is out on iTunes now Back to top

If he ain't on Virgin anymore, they can't force him to do anything. Maybe he needs the cash? Well, I'm trying to rationalise something irrational here Didn't he need cash when Light + Shade was released? Hmmm, perhaps he hoped Mercury would actually promote it... -------------- http://www.raygrant.com :: My album 'Exorcism' is out on iTunes now Back to top

Inkanta Group: Admins Posts: 1453 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: Mar. 01 2006, 21:34 If he is imminently releasing his autobiography, he should go to the Hay-on-Wye literary festival at the end of May; or if not this year, next year. What a cool event, even for musician-authors. Sting was there last year promoting his book (hmmm....another resident of the Wiltshire area, IIR). Hay is not very far from the Beacon, if you don't get lost. But if you do, the countryside is gorgeous. -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist." From:  Moongarden's "Solaris."

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: Mar. 02 2006, 08:16 I think that Jon Collins and others are helping Mike to find the best way to start the pre-promo for the autobio,knowing the best places to do it so. -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

That would be so great. Specially for us (I mean southamericans) I've done little research in the BBC Radio webage in order to find out if the interview would be available for southamerica but I couldn't find anything. There is in Buenos Aires a local radio station which is a satellite of the bbc but I couldn't find any info, timetables or schedules for the shows. -------------- "Fear is the path to the dark side.

qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1357 Joined: April 2001 Posted: Mar. 04 2006, 03:09 They usually just record the people for the show whenever they happen to be around the BBC, so, it maybe months before we hear it, it will probably be saved for when Mike does promo for his book. Back to top

I wish he'd do a bit of PR on the MusicVR Forum. The Turkish hacker's page is still in place (it's been several days now), and presumably the hacker could do more if he wanted. But there's been no response either to that, or to our emails about it. Back to top
