Last time I talked to him, he said everything was his - so, unless he changed his mind, you should be pleased with it.

Yes! That's what I wanted to hear.

 

 

Im not sure if he is still determined to get the triple platinum album by the time hes 35. we all no family comes b4 anythin else 2 D. I hope he still stands by the statement he made wen he turned down simon cowell's offer. He will never realise a cover song and his music will always be original stuff.

That was just a throwaway line in 2001.

 

In all honesty, Polly, I think the new album rightly became a lower priority as soon as ABC decided to cast Darius as the Beast.

I've no doubt Darius will keep plugging away when he's got time. He'll do his best because he's still passionate about making music and writing his own songs.

 

Whether the execs run with a full series or not, suddenly Darius's name is out there in America. He's going to get more scripts, more chances. He has to grab the opportunities as they arise. It would be stupid to break off for 6 months to finish and promote an album and then tour over here.

 

There are a couple of clips from Vibrato on youtube.

too true, BT agree with all you say -

some pictures taken at Virbratos have been posted via twitrer via @dailypike

Those videos are a lot better than the previous ones but the sound is still really bad. The person who took them said that the sound was nowhere near how it was at the venue

Photos of Darius from the 28th

no thats wot i ment he has other priorities not just his music. it was a reply to somethin baytree sed bout not wantin the album 2 hav covers and i dont think it will have any cover tracks on it wen its out.

I do like the covers I've heard Darius sing for various reasons, but I'd rather have albums of his own songs.

 

I love the idea of keeping the covers in the archives too, thanks megham for doing that.

 

May I request If You Go Away and/or From Russia With Love from the Matt Monro tribute, if you have a decent recording and Pretty Woman.

 

I'm sure the latter came out on a b-side. I can't seem to find my copy nor the War Child album.

 

I think it's when people here him sing covers they notice that he has a very good voice.

I have recordings I got them on video, transferred them to dvde and them made them audio only. Last time I doid something like that though, I couldn't get it on facebook. I'll give it a try and try to put photos (unconnected) up as well

War Child had 'Pretty Flamingo' I'm not aware of a 'Pretty Woman' one. I

I love D's version of 'Pretty Flamingo'! :D

Of course, how stupid of me. I meant Pretty Flamingo.

But 'Pretty Woman' would have been good as well. I'll try and see what I have tomorrow - David's away again so I have to be within hearing distance of Mum all the time and I can go through things in the room next to hers

Roy Orbison was unique. That said, I reckon Darius could do his songs some justice.

 

Do you know if the thing with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra has happened, is still in the pipework or been shelved due to other commitments, megham?

 

I was listening to Sandy from the archives. It's the only time I can remember Darius playing an electric guitar. It was nice to see a comment from Spence. What great band members Darius had back then - all of them- so talented and really, really lovely guys too.

I did love the band. Last I heard it was still the Czech orchestra but that was supposed to be Jan/Feb and he's been a bit busy.

Just a bit!

there r some videos from vibrato's on youtube aswell
