Hi Anneke, I really doubt Chris will ever play KotB songs as he did not do that back then in 2001, maybe only in a completely new way like he did with The Last Open Road (1999/2011).ann268 wrote:I have my tickets. I hope he plays something of King Of The Beach Album. Those are rare and I like it very much. Otherwise we will see.
In concert tickets pricing for foreign artists - always, other foreign things now maybe not so much. They know people will come anyway having no real alternative (not so many travel abroad for gigs), especially with artists who are really popular here like Chris (but his concerts pricing here is not the highest).ann268 wrote:Wow that is a lot! Is Russia always that expensive in anything? Or is it because "it is" from abroad?

Sorry, mixed up a bit, though there are not so many people talking here, to say the least... To be honest, I do not recall the exact interview he talked about it, but yes, he mentioned something like this, I remember. So I would rather agree with you on that assumption.tobi777 wrote:Yeah, it was me. The interview remark and the setlist in the first post
On the official site they say Road Ahead is the 1st single off the album, but no mention of its release date. Early September, I guess. http://www.chrisrea.com/about/ann268 wrote:I hope he wil do some promoting and will hear singles.
Yes, and it's definitely thanks to BMG. However, if social media are run by the new management already, it is strange they make many dulll things mistakes there, compared to the new off. site which is very simple but neat and seems all true and run by a person well aware of what to do.ann268 wrote:The Social Media are functioning well and let us know when a first single will be released. I read that in the About part on his site. It's all much more professional.
Which news do you mean? About the album and tour which we already now? Or something else?ann268 wrote:So far any news came from Radio 2 BBC
Me too, no matter how hard I try. I wrote to Jim Beach again hoping he could help. But he usually replies quick and now he didn't.ann268 wrote:I can't find any information on management.
Thanks, now clearer, I really hope Chris will announce a radio appearance soon so we get more info on the new project.ann268 wrote:If a new Tour or Album was presented, Chris did his most announces through Radio 2 on the BBC. Not much promotion, but with every media used (not all exiting I know) we can expect him to inform us if he will do a radioshow, like Jools Holland, or any other.
Chris's main manager after John McCoy and before John Knowles, from 1979 until 1999 (together with Paul Lilly at times), ex-'Real Life Ltd', now Queen Productions: https://www.discogs.com/artist/1570879-Jim-Beach-2ann268 wrote:Who's Jim Beach? Can't remember that name?
