Back in NYC - Francis Dunnery

[Phil]

Found this lovely video of Francis Dunnery (One of my all time favourite guitarists - ex It Bites ).

Hope you like it

Definitely wouldn't have worked and good that Frankie recognised that.

[Phil]

Lol - I suspect Frankie was never gonna get the gig somehow ;o). Not sure he would have blended in - great guitarist though

Brilliant, I was lucky enough to se IB more than a few times back in the day, including a classic gig at a tiny little venue in MANSFIELD, NOTTS, and, on the same tour, at the Lyceum, >London: they were such a professional outfit that they, if anything, played better at the more low key gig, which was 100% faithful fans. Or maybe it just seemed that way cos it was up close & personal.

How typical of FD to take what is perhaps the most agressive number from TLLDOB and present it as a beautiful poingnant ballad. I always thought IB were more influenced by Yes though, Frank is probably still waiting for that call....

[Hutch]

Not only was he influenced but he was asked to replace Phil Collins before Ray Wilson and turned it down.

[Phil]

nice one - I saw he was playing up there. Last time I saw him he had long blond hair and was playing more metal style. Interesting that he was influenced by Genesis

[Hutch]

This also appears on his new album 'There's a whole new world out there'. I've just seen him playing it live tonight at South Shields, awesome performance!
