Hi Spam Fritter-I lost my reply.I will reply tomorrow
Mean time, would you keep in touch with me about the move and please teach me how to access and use the Retro forum (Baby talk preferred! ) In my head tonight,I can't get that song 'No More' out of my head. I loved it and wish he could have found a waye to get it out . Yes I thought Badear Bing was great too,when I went to b.b. show,and the other new song would have been a great addition to a bond film. Thatmust have been exciting for you,back then, to be one of the 'promo' team.Wonder if you were present on the video shown of you all round a large table with Darius at top?! Let's hope we still get all the news on this other format and keep each other informed of any t.v. appearances and news. Meantime, all I can think to say to the 'high heid yins'of this forum is "Farewell" "Partington is such sweet sorrow".

The very best thing about all of Darius's gigs/shows is that even if circumstances mean you have to go alone, you will always be among friends.

The early years were so much fun, meeting up with other Darius fans and being so privileged to spend time with not only Darius but also his family and the wonderful guys in both his bands.

Any time that Darius sings live, even if it's not my favourite genre, gives me great pleasure. I just love his voice - always have and always will.

2005 is seared in my memory. Darius had just moved to LA but he came back to the UK for a string of memorable gigs.

It was like he was running through his repertoire for us all, perhaps knowing he wouldn't be so accessible in the future.

Culzean Castle and Lincoln showcased Pop Darius and his band at their magnificent best. Darius commanded that stage like a lion (well he is a Leo) and with the mane to go with it.

Maidstone was intimate acoustic singer/songwriter Darius.

The Passage's (London Charity for the homeless) Grand Royal Gala and Champagne and Canapé reception in the Banqueting Hall was something else again. Suited and booted Darius with Natasha Henstridge on his arm.

On stage he dedicated Devil In You to Natasha and then sang Billy Flynn's theme from Chicago "All I Care About Is Love", accompanied by girls from the show complete with fans. They were still in rehearsals at that stage.

Off stage he, Natasha and his parents were very gracious and generous with their time. What a night! All the fans scrubbed up really well. I hardly recognised them.

It's everything. The roller-coaster thrill following his career together.

It is seamless. Everything he is doing now is down to foundations he' s laid down grafting behind the scenes, learning his craft from people he respects in the wider entertainment industry.

I personally cannot allocate elements of his career to separate boxes and then judge them. It's like asking a mother to choose between her children.

He doesn't give us chance to get bored with all his changes

I tried to revive this forum. It's a shame to see it go.

Although if he's going to the U.S. to do secret film production soon for a while you might get bored.

Btw do you know if he going to be continuing his appearance in Funny Girl during the film production time? I am guessing not as it would probably take up too much time for him to do both.
I saw a picture of him dressed up as a lion on google images when I typed in his name, can't find it now!

Wonderful memories......let's hope we make lots more!!
