Hi there. This is my first post here - nothing like in at the deep end eh!

It’s a rather speculative request to see if anyone out there knows of or has a copy of a recording of the concert at Somerset House in 2006.

It was a great concert but was made particularly special for me due to Guy dedicating Scattered Black and Whites to my then recently departed friend Chris. We had sent a note via their myspace site telling them about Chris, who had introduced us all to the band back in the early days of the first album. Scattered Black and Whites was one of his favourite tracks and had been played at his funeral. We’d written to them telling them a bit about this and how much he’d loved the band.

We hadn’t expected anything, just wanted to let the band know really. So we were pretty shocked when Guy dedicated the song during the opening bars. Still brings the odd tear when I think about it.

I know that it was recorded off the sound board but have never seen any sight of a recording.

If anybody knows anything about a recording please let me know - I’d love to hear it again.

Cheers

James

Welcome James, and what a touching story. You've come to the right place, though I don't posess a recording myself, if one is in circulation I am sure someone on here will have it.

I hope you stick around and get to know everyone here, it's a great place.

Hi James- indeed a touching story! I was there that night and remember Guy saying the gig was being recorded for a live DVD- at a later time i sent a txt to his radio show ( he was then on xfm manchester)- asking what ever happened to the DVD- his response was that they were trying to get the cash together to edit it!! they had already parted company with V2... so guess it just never happened. A real shame as it was such an amazing evening!! Who knows .... now that they are making a few quid :-) it might see the light of day!

yes - you never know, although i suspect now the impetus has been lost it's unlikley.

I guess my only real hope was that a copy had sneaked out and may exist in the hands of s select few but haven't managed to track anything down. Oh well.

Thanks

james
