I'm happy for all you people who'll see Sparks again, but feeling a little bit

for us at the moment. I'm sure we'll have some good news of our own sometime soon, won't we?

Fantastic News! That will be a brilliant show. The festivals are the way to go but I do think it's a bit strange to be playing at the Big Chill when Sparks music is more geared to the rock audiences of the other festivals. What will the chilled out campers sipping on their red wine and nibbly bits make of "Dick Around" or "Rock Rock Rock" when they are wanting to be lulling around in Lemon Jelly bliss? Bit of a contradiction going on there methinks. I hope this will mean that Sparks will be getting on other stages during the festival season if they are going to be here in the UK in the summer.

The quote :
"Incredibly this will be Sparks’ first outdoor festival - “Playing a festival will be a new experience for us but it is one we are looking forward to. It will be great to put on our show in this outdoor location and for an audience who may not have seen us play before.” said Russell Mael "

Yes it will be a new audience but it's not the first one. I saw Sparks play outdoors at a London Gay Pride Festival in the mid 90's and what about the outdoor New York performance of LB or does that not count? Anyway, I'm not complaining just getting the facts right.

I sincerely hope some other stages are being looked at as well though to get to the right audiences but in the meantime I will definately be getting down to the tent shop so I can be Big Chilling with the rest of 'em!!

Great news, but do we know if the Fareham gig is the only place where Sparks will be performing Hello Young Lovers in its entirety this summer?

Sparks played Parkpop in '95 (just a year before I became a fan, which itself was 10 years before their next gig in Holland.)

Wish theyd come nearer to us northerners, Scunthorpe would be nice (yes i live there LOL), but Birmingham or Sheffield would be equally great, ive never seen them live as i cant travel that far
