Then he confesses, a little reluctantly, that in fact the origin is somewhat closer to home.”There’s a railway bridge at the end of an alley that I used to walk my daughter through to go to nursery school and it’s where she first discovered echoes, and so we came to know it as ‘Echo Bridge’.” Despite this, Colin Blunstone is determined the album should also be a bridge to the future. Already thinking about the follow-up, and toying with the idea of playing live again, he’s clearly settled on a direction he’s happy with.And with that, I realise, we’ve covered three decades in the career of one of the most extraordinary voices in British pop. And we never even left reception.n Echo Bridge is out now on Permanent Records.. 1 Rance Allen – “God is Wonderful” (1975)
2 Aaron Neville – “Mona Lisa” (1981)
3 Little Anthony & The Imperials – “Going Out of My Head” (1964)4 Prince – “Adore” (1987)5 The Beach Boys – “Surf’s Up” (1971)6 Ted Taylor – “I’m Gonna Hate Myself In The Morning” (1976)7 Smokey Robinson & The Miracles – “Ooh Baby Baby” (1965)8 Horace Andy – “Skylarking” (1970)9 The Stylistics – “Betcha By Golly Wow” (1972)10 Al Green – “Simply Beautiful” (1972). I like songs that are attractive to listen to, but have depth and different layers – songs that can be taken in many different ways.”So who figures large in the Blunstone songbook? “I’m a real song nut,” he admits, name-checking songwriters who span four decades: from Paul Williams and Jimmy Webb to Clifford T Ward, Nik Kershaw, Paddy McAloon (“a great writer. If blue is your favourite colour, you don’t usually know why.
“In the past, I’ve said that things happened to me, that I had made few decisions in the music business Now I want to change things around a bit. I want people to react to me.” So after three years in search of the right songs, and with voice entirely intact, comes Echo Bridge, his first album of new material for almost 15 years.”Once I get rolling on an album, I look for songs that appeal to me, songs that move me,” he says “I don’t ask why. And now, after feeling like a man out of time for much of the Eighties and Nineties, this is the long-awaited Blunstone re-launch. Where has Colin been?After the Zombies, he went to work in an office, as you do after making it to the top in the pop world – “hustly and bustly but very restful after the music business” – but was eventually lured back to the charts in 1969 with a re-recording of “She’s Not There”, this time as the short-lived Neil MacArthur Then there were the Seventies hits in his own name. This is the man whose high, tremulous voice registered those creamy solo hits “Say You Don’t Mind”, “I Don’t Believe in Miracles”, “What Becomes of the Broken Hearted”.
Nobody sang like Colin Blunstone, a rhythm and blues choirboy from St Albans.
He relaxes his fit-looking, casually clothed 50-year-old body onto a bench seat He speaks as he sings: softly, gently He breathes words. Still nobody is there to answer the phone, so we introduce ourselves, shake hands, and I’m thinking: “This is him.”
This is the man who sang “She’s Not There”, the song that established the Zombies the same month in 1964 that “She Loves You” entered the charts. Colin Blunstone pushes the door open cautiously, as if entering a church It’s not a church, though It’s the office of his record company. The phone is warbling and nobody is there to greet him except me, and I’m thinking: “Is this him?” He nods at me, averting his eyes, and stands for a moment, awkwardly tall and thin, unconsciously flattening his longish hair. “See how I add the last bit,” he giggles, “so none of you feel insecure.”The hotel muzak persists in the background It’s “The Girl from Ipanema” McAlmont starts singing along There’s more to this man than his voice, but what a voice McAlmont will be lucky if he makes it big So will we.. Leaning over, he shouts: “Isn’t this better than being at some crappy TV show?”We’re back at the hotel once more and McAlmont is drunk as a skunk He’s showing off to all the straight guys “Does anyone want to try my cherry.. lip salve?” he asks. “It’s a place to hide.”It’s 10.30pm and we’re off to see Massive Attack, friends of McAlmont’s He grooves quietly to himself at the back of the hall.
“I’ve had a bad life, I deserve to be beautiful.”He says he is happier now than ever before But he knows the mouth of Pandora’s Box is wide open. “There’s nothing more hopeless on this planet than a pop musician – stardom is a sickness.” Why does he want it then? He giggles drunkenly. “As a child I got shut out so much by men.”School sounds hell. “The boys hate you and if the girls want to demonstrate they’re grown women they go for McAlmont.” (I blink at this use of the third person – he’s oblivious.) “Everyone would stand round watching McAlmont get beaten up by a girl.” His voice is wobbling. Was McAlmont too camp, or not camp enough? As Freud might have said: “What does the world want?”McAlmont is dwelling on rejection.
The producer walks off, muttering: “Liked the other one – it had more kick.”We’re back in the hotel – McAlmont is sure he’s been pulled because of complaints from Ulster’s religious groups. Kern thinks they were cut because “Be Mine” was too downbeat. The producer thinks McAlmont is going to perform “You Do” – with strings. It’s out of the question: McAlmont can’t do the number without Butler. The nice PR man persuades the producer to listen to “Be Mine” McAlmont tumbles straight into song: “Don’t leave I won’t let you.”McAlmont finishes Silence.

Gani Lawal, a 6′9″ Sophomore, is projected to be a potential lottery pick in the next draft:With 19 NBA scouts and executives watching him play Saturday, Gani Lawal gave an impressive performance.The sophomore made seven of 10 shots from the field and 11 of 14 from the free-throw line, and he grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked two shots in Georgia Tech’s upset of Wake Forest.What this means for recruiting is that if Lawal goes pro, suddenly a team deep at the post with NBA talent is right back where they started.

Michael Douglas’ son Cameron is the latest celebrity busted for drugs.
One is simple and predictable; the other unfathomably complex. Such was the nature of the clash last week between the United States and Iraq. To comprehend why President Bill Clinton ordered the launch of the cruise missiles, think Hollywood, then think US elections, and his motives fall easily into place. Hollywood is defined by the political scientist who wrote Jihad vs McWorld, Benjamin Barber, as the quintessential expression of McWorld’s “infantile” consumerist culture. Entitled Jihad vs McWorld, a book published last year in the US characterises our era in terms of a conflict between modern global consumerism and ancient tribalisms rooted in blood. The project is not just about rebuilding but includes a long-term management contract includingcleaning, maintenance and security services.. “They know it’s not in their interests to promote drinking and driving.”But Fred Broughton, chairman of the Police Federation, believes sponsorship is no subsitute for adequate funding.
He fears a conflict of interests, which could leave the public believing some companies getpreferential treatment. There is also concern that separate regulations which allow local authorities to buy extra policing could create a disparity between rich counties and poorer metropolitan areas. In Corby, Northants, the council spent pounds 110,000 raised by its Sunday market to fund four town- centre beat bobbies for a year to meet a public demand.Some sponsorship deals have been vetoed, as with the optician who suggested that officers in Hampshire stop motorists, ask them to read a number plate and if they cannot, give them vouchers for a free sight test at the practice. An eye-catching Thresher’s logo on a van donated to Avon and Somerset was scaled down after complaints.The use of private money to pay for a new police station in Ilkeston will also raise eyebrows. The 100 officers and support staff are happy to be guinea-pigs, knowing that lack of funds and Home Office priorities mean that work on a new station could not otherwise start until the next century.According to the force’s director of adminstration, David Wyatt, the former mining town’s 19th-century police station is “rubbish” and the new deal will save the force money.
In principle, Mr Philpott sees no difficulty in accepting sponsorship from off-licences or breweries although campaigners against drink-driving have expressed disquiet at the idea. “A lot of drinks companies now are about encouraging sensible drinking,” he said. In some respects, sponsoring us is no different from sponsoring a sports event.”North Yorkshire has its own guidelines governing what constitutes an appropriate sponsor. Home Office policy, while advising that outside funding should not be directed at front-line services, leaves much to chief constables’ discretion. With other gifts, the total haul is worth pounds 100,000.Mr Philpott does not believe in cold-calling prospective sponsors, but has found considerable willingness among busineses to have their name linked with the police “We are doing good for the community, that’s our brand. Avon and Somerset’s suites for victims of sex assaults were fitted out by several firms, including the Body Shop.Leading the way is North Yorkshire, the first force to recruit a sponsorship and marketing officer. Since Roy Philpott was appointed at the end of last year, he has seen it acquire mobile phones and pagers from a manufacturer, sponsored cars from a Ford dealer, and car-stopping devices from an anonymous source.
Fights, drugs reportedly plagued slain model, dead reality TV star’s lives.
Like the World Cup and the Olympics, the York Cycle of Mystery Plays comes round once every four years, performed in its native town by a large cast of predominantly amateur locals who thereby offer an approximate equivalent of the medieval craft guilds who originally mounted these biblical dramas. In this special acoustic, and with a roster of famous names – Thomas Allen as Tarquinius, Jean Rigby as Lucretia, Anthony Rolfe Johnson and Janice Watson as the chorus – it was a transparently clear account that left the work’s dramatic form open for inspection.There are two sticking points: the sudden dose of Christian morality in the epilogue and, elsewhere, a slight dysfunction between the roles of chorus, monologue and naturalistic speech. From their matrix of love and death, hope and despair, have sprung other Apollonian hymns to desire over the years, as well as Bacchic revels and social polemic. A man who has founded festivals, sparked off riots, conducted, and nurtured young composers must be both energetic and ordered in his life. How the polarities have yielded so much for so many is one of the themes of the festival.
Henze was still struggling for survival in war-torn Germany when Glyndebourne premiered Britten’s The Rape of Lucretia in 1946, and Steuart Bedford conducted Sunday’s concert performance at Snape Maltings just a month short of its half-century. The clash of lean and craggy counterpoint was the fuel for M50, whereas each page of the Henze gave fresh revelations of blended timbre. And like Colin Matthews’s M50, the concert’s opener, the piece could equally be heard as a brilliantly concise essay in symphonic velocity.
That kind of sensual charm has always been among his hallmarks, as baritone Alan Opie showed in his reading of the delicate 1950s classic, the Five Neapolitan Songs. Henze may stand among the world’s musical nobility, but put a pencil in his hand and he becomes a vessel for Dionysiac rage. In fact, Appassionatamente is a fantasia on the violent emotions of his recent opera, The Ocean Betrayed, so that any simple equation linking life and art is probably facile. Yet, the night before at Snape Maltings, his Appassionatamente had nearly blown the heads off an enthusiastic audience in its stunning UK premiere, given by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Oliver Knussen.
Sir John had described Henze’s daily routine as pleasures in the afternoon, hard work in the morning Very intense work, to judge from this score. What is it about manuscript paper that has such an effect on composers? Hans Werner Henze, chatting on Sunday to Sir John Drummond at Aldeburgh’s Lighthouse Restaurant, sounded cool and witty, a man basking in the glow of a new autobiography, a major CD reissue of his music by Deutsche Grammophon, and his role as featured festival composer to celebrate his 70th birthday. Paz-Tomlinson is a poet who strikes out boldly at the world through language, and recognises his own sense of importance as an intellectual adventurer. This man’s delivery is fearless and almost hectoring – as if he is giving us all a necessary lesson in how to read great poetry in public. The other is Paz himself, a much more muted, melancholy, tentative figure altogether, who reads undemonstratively, and with a painful, almost doleful, sense of his own inwardness.n `The Double Flame’, a new collection of essays by Octavio Paz on the subjects of love and eroticism, has just been published by the Harvill Press. He then helpfully explains why Charles Tomlinson is part of this evening’s cultural circus. “Octavio Paz is associated with Charles Tomlinson because he is a poet for whom the visible world exists.” Unfortunately, I happen to blink as he says that.Then Tomlinson and Paz step up to the microphones, and there follows almost an hour of Paz’s poetry – read in the original Spanish by Paz, and in English by Tomlinson In that order.
This is the poet Charles Tomlinson, Paz’s translator, old pal and sometime collaborator.Schmidt, mindful of the hour, races through an intellectually well-stuffed lecture about: Paz’s value to Western culture (increasingly recognised since 1971, a quite unexpected historical turning-point); modernist traditions of discontinuity and Paz’s place within the same; one poet’s search for his own beginnings; Paz as point of confluence. Which seems, to the minority of the audience whose first language is English, rather unhelpful; and, to the majority of the audience who speak Spanish and are either employed by the Mexican Embassy or have managed to ferret out a distant friend who is, absolutely marvellous.To listen to these two men read is to discover that there are not one but two Octavio Pazs standing in front of us One is the Paz created by Tomlinson. But not a typical Gee-Gee at all: this one, since his retirement, has dared himself to grow a set of tremendously long and aberrantly bushy sideburns. Why is Octavio Paz so late? This is not, after all, some jazz bash. It is, according to the press release, an encounter with Latin America’s greatest living poet. Then a literature officer bounds, gazelle-like, a little breathless, on to the stage Apologies for the delay, she says Some translations are on their way to us in a taxi As soon as they arrive, we’ll start.
