Excited for this tonight! Saw a great clip of them singing the Weekend’s blinding lights

Gary generally has gone pretty quiet, wonder what he’s working on

Even the art of doing nothing. It peaked at late 20s? And that was during May, when nothing was being released; on the back of the progress success; and he had a lot of media slots to perform

Yeah I’ve seen it on Sky, just wonder why they never released it. I liked it!

I enjoyed it on tour. Did they ever release wonderland as a dvd?

Art of doing nothing had a lot of good ideas, but didn’t really come through. I remember listening to a couple of songs thinking: this verse is great, but the chorus is poor. Etc HTMF is ok...Believe in the Boogie is a great song. Feels quite Beatles-esc

And a great one to finish the season - feat. ELTON!!

It’s actually one that has aged very well for me. I really enjoy it

Last week of the crooner sessions!

Loved the one with Savage Garden today. Great song

Not sure it made the top 100 sales wise. Which is a shame. It’s a good song. But it did help nudge Gary into the gold category

Yes, especially with the lockdown going on. I just really think it’ll be a 4 or 5 piece return on the next record. And Rob has his new disco album coming out soon, so I suspect he’s focused on that

He’s still running them! Sting was Monday. He’s at 85 I think now. Assume he’ll stop at 100

Both great vocals by Gary! The foreigner one is one of my absolute favs

I think we know that Gary and co need to usually appear live in Europe to get the sales impact. Obviously, he can’t do that this time around. So a number 1, gold selling album is a very good return for an artist who’s been around for 30 years

Great performance of Enough is Enough! And the presenter mentioned it’s officially turned Gold this week!

Yes, I’d have thought so. Another number 1 album and a gold certification is still a pretty impressive return for an artist like Gary at this stage in his career. If the streaming stuff hadn’t been in place, he’d have had a couple of top 20 singles there too.

Apparently that’s the last promo he’s doing for the album, so hopefully he’ll get to sing enough is enough and maybe a sing along at the end with TT song

Great session today: I want to know what love is

Likewise, I’d love to hear how Robbie would influence a BW style album. Timings wise...Gary will still be touring next year and Robbie will be releasing a new solo album and touring (fingers crossed on the touring front). So we’re looking at that Xmas 2023 at the earliest for an album I suppose..

Loved how ‘angels’ had a completely different chorus originally

Loved both of them! There’s a session every day this week!

Check this out, Robbie plays a few snippets from his up and coming electro dance record

Gary talks to Robbie in this week’s “we write the songs”. Great interview

That would be great! Great one with Leona today singing could it be magic. Assume they’ll do that during the tour too
