January 27, 200916 yr Heat Magazine, thanks to Ruthie. 27/1 Heat mag Will Dyes For His Art London Tuesday 20th January Your eyes are not deceiving you - Will Young has gone a darker shade of brown (and is also pulling a face like he's in a Carry On film, but that's another matter). He's showed off the new brunette do while celebrating his 30th birthday at the South Bank Show Awards and revealed his secret: the dye-job was to make his hair stand out more in the black and white video shoot for his new single. Our mole spotted another secret - a great big tattoo on Will's lower back! there's more Are You Watching? Questing Time?! We know what you're thinking, BBC1's political debate show rarely touches on the important things in life like Cheryl Coles hair or Verne Troyer. But all that is set to change on Thursday 5th February, because Will Young will be a panelist. As previously revealed in heat, Will was heard by Question Time's producer talking to Simon Mayo on Radio Five Live about his love of the show and was immediately invited on. The rest is history - or soon will be Best of all, you can suggest topics for debate - visit the Question Time mini-site at http://news.bbc.co.uk for details on how to contribute. The revolution starts here! Pics will be posted up later no doubt, as soon as someone scans them in. :D *Just adding the pic, with thanks to Mary. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w230/MaryW_2007/Heat27109001.jpg the other pic isn't so good as he's pulling a face, so I ain't bothering to post it. :lol: Edited January 27, 200916 yr by suggy
January 27, 200916 yr Author Thanks suggy. Hopefully next week Heat will have some stills of the new video.
January 27, 200916 yr Thanks suggy. How different things are at Heat since the departure of a certain creature.
January 27, 200916 yr Author Thanks suggy. How different things are at Heat since the departure of a certain creature. They sure are. :) Now if we could only have a clear out at radio 1. <_<
January 27, 200916 yr They sure are. :) Now if we could only have a clear out at radio 1. <_< Yeah, quite right! <_< heat really have been quite lovely since the summer! :D I'm really looking forward to the video for the new single. :cheer: Although I've watched the videos for Changes and Grace plenty of times, they're not my favourites, so I'm hoping for a classy, clever video (although I'd really hoped for a performance one - might still the case, though) - not that the others weren't, of course. Are there any news re radio play, yet?

February 1, 200916 yr Yard''s Miles - Diary of a Drum Tech - Part 6 Sorry but I had to skip my last feature, but this was due to the pressures of trying to earn a living! We have been busy boys during this period including Production Manager duties for Will Young’s for his ‘Let It Go’ UK Tour. During the Eric Clapton tour I had been arranging the forthcoming Annie Lennox promo tour for her ‘Collection’ CD which was due for release in the Autumn of ’08. Whilst in Mexico, Annie was struck down with sciatica (a trapped nerve in the back) and lost the use of her left foot overnight. Fortunately she was flown home and operated upon to release the nerve and is recovering slowly. This led to postponement of the release of her CD until early ’09. Because of this it was back to the shop to get on with my lovely new additions including a Hayman Gold Ingot kit from the early 70’s amongst others. We were planning to make the Zildjian Day Achievement Awards a family day out with myself and two of my sons Martin and Nick teching for Ginger Baker, Keith Carlock, Simon Phillips with Nick taking care of guitars for Jack Bruce. Ginger was receiving an award for services to drumming. Will Young's CD on my wall http://www.mikedolbear.com/Images/Will%20Young%20Disc.jpg However, I got called to handle the production duties with Will Young and both my sons were due out with both The Who and Duffy and so we were all unable to do the event. We had a kit made by DW to Ginger’s sizes and supplied it for the show. We had it wrapped in a Silver Sparkle finish just like he used during the 60’s. Will’s tour for me was superb. He is a fine singer, his vocal adlibs remind me of Paul Rodgers and what you see is what you get. I have worked with him before looking after his drummers, but this was my first role in the production chair for him. I have a platinum CD on the wall at home for the "Leave Right Now" recording which was No.1 with new Dad Steve Barney on the tubs. We had Ash Soan on drums for the tour using a very simple 4 piece Yamaha kit. Ash has a great style and has a great CV including Squeeze, Del Amitri, James Morrison and is currently in The Producers with Trevor Horn, Lol Creme and Steve Lipson. Guess who...Howard Barrett is Ash’s tech for the tour. ‘H’ has been around since the 70’s and has teched for Wishbone Ash, Thin Lizzy, Steve Winwood, Mike Oldfield, Cozy Powell, Simply Red… the list goes on and on! He’s a top geezer and top tech. During the tour we were at the 02 for the ‘Jingle Bell Ball’ in December which is a Capital Radio Event. Everyone and his brother were there so it was a good time to see old faces. The bill included Boyzone, Sugababes, James Blunt, Rhianna, Lemar, Anastacia, James Morrison… too many to mention. Karl Brazil (with James Blunt) and Damon Wilson (with the Sugababes) were lurking about so we had a quick catch up. Mark Plunkett was there with Boyzone in a managerial role. Mark in his playing days was bass player with Little Angels with the late, great Michael Lee. What a drummer he was, check out their ‘Young Gods’ CD and Page & Plant’s ‘No Quarter’ DVD. Now that’s the way to play drums! Will’s tour finished with two nights at The Roundhouse in London. During our five weeks on the road we had the Southbank Show filming a documentary to be aired in the spring. I have been involved with the Southbank Show for both Annie and Clapton and I must admit old Sir Melv puts together a great product. We finally finished with ‘The Alan Titchmarsh Xmas Show’ at the BBC before heading home mid December. http://www.mikedolbear.com/story.asp?StoryID=1810
February 1, 200916 yr Thanks for that BYM&M's, that's a great read and he's so complimentary about Will, it's obvious he knows talent when he comes across it. :D
February 1, 200916 yr Author Thanks BYM+M's I bet having respect from all those who work with him means a lot to Will.
February 2, 200916 yr When you read praise like that it puts into perspective all the invective we read on some forums about Will. Those people have no idea how he is well regarded by the people that really matter. Edited February 2, 200916 yr by Pearl
February 4, 200916 yr Will is on the This Morning show on the 2nd March. :D Talent TV winner turned bonafide star, Will Young is in for a chat and to perform his new single, Let It Go
February 4, 200916 yr Thanks Suggy. Pleased to read this - he hasn't been on This Morning for ages. :D
