THE VERVE ALL SET TO GO ON ... AND ON ...AND ON...
and "chomping at the bit" to get back to North America ...

Simon Jones told Billboard they'll carry on at their own pace but, "this definitely is  an ongoing concern; it's not something that we're all gonna chuck away again" and they plan a tour towards the end of the year or early next year.

He confirmed that Richard Ashcroft was contractually obligated to record another solo album but it wouldn't interfere with his work with the band. read more here

Unfortunately we lost 4 months of posts, but hopefully we'll soon make up for it with lots more!

See you there....

There was also a 3 part interview with Richard Ashcroft, in which he said performing at Glastonbury was like a bungee jump for him, but no future plans for The Verve were revealed at this time. He also vowed to continue his solo career and "saw no reason why it shouldn't continue alongside The Verve".  [This should be good news for both Verve fans and solo fans!]

THE VERVE
UNOFFICIAL CALENDAR
2009 !

YOUR PHOTOS NEEDED .....


I am planning on producing an unofficial Verve 2009 calendar. (This will be professionally printed rather than knocked up on my trusty old inkjet like the 2008 version!)

I'm looking for high quality photos from this year's tour/festivals of the band, audience, venue etc. (but mainly the band). Anyone whose pictures are included will receive a complimentary copy of the calendar free of charge. 

If you have any high quality photos and are willing to have them considered for inclusion, please contact me using the form opposite. [Must be your own photos which you own copyright for]

If you have no photos to submit but are interested in purchasing the calendar when it's produced, you can register your interest by contacting me on the form opposite, making it clear you're interested in the calendar. The calendar will be a strictly limited edition, so first come first served. A final price has not been set yet but I anticipate it being in the region of £9.99 -ish.   I'm not looking to make a huge profit, as printing costs are quite high for small numbers, maybe if I'm lucky I'll cover my web hosting fee !    Thanks in advance.....  p.s. size will be double A4 in split format.

Richard Ashcroft

There's more chance of getting all four Beatles on stage together than a Verve reunion.
