Thanks TT i will have to try to remember to record it :thumbup:

 

Every time i see an update i think this it ......the news we have been waiting for ....but alas no :P

Thanks TT. :thumbup:

 

And the O/S have acknowledged his input at long last. :P

I'm really looking forward to this. It looks really interesting anyway plus the delectable Mr Young, bit of a winner really :wub:
Oooh! it's finally here at long last, :thumbup: wasn't this over 2 years ago that Will recorded his track? I'll look forward to watching this. :D
Really hope we get to hear the whole song & not just a clip.

 

So do I, I hope it's not going to be a case of blink and you'll miss him type scenario, otherwise there'll be a hell of a lot of p'd off posts on D that night.

I don't think it will be like that - Ron (sorry can't remember his surname) posted on 'Will's' myspace back last year that he had missed him in Ibiza but had heard the rough demo and was looking forward to hearing the finished track.

 

Here you go:

Hi Will

 

Thanks for the add. Apparently, I barely missed you in Majorca when I was there in July '05. You sound great in the rough cut and can't wait for the release.

Thank you for your support for those of us living with HIV/AIDS around the world.

 

Safe Journeys!

It was this post that started the Devoted Detective Agency to start Googling :lol: I doubt Will ever saw this entry because it was on a webpage set up by a fan.

Thanks munchkin. Hope you are right & the guy isn't just referring to the finished album track.

Thanks for finding that message munchkin, :thumbup: so hopefully we'll get to hear a lot more of the track that Will did, July 2005? that's nearly 3 years ago, :o Will had his hair very short back then didn't he?

Yes he did Suggy, and whilst many liked it I didn't - he looked like an escaped convict. :lol: So glad he grew his hair again.

 

Is it really 3 years ago since he did this. Just remembered think I joined the 1 Giant Leap forum at the time, or at some time.

Thanks for posting that munchkin. :thumbup: I remember that now.

 

Thanks munchkin i didn't realise it was so long ago :D

 

Didn't he get caught up in a humungous traffic jam and almost missed his flight - or maybe that was another time - It may have been when he was collaborating with Morcheeba - he was spotted in Ibiza town :P I wonder how much he has worked with others that we don't know about :cool: When he's spotted at airports and we are left wondering where he's going or has been :lol:

 

It's been a loooong time in post production.
