More Glenn Hughes news! This time courtesy of Shirean Harrison at www.ghpg.net.
Radio Australia interviewed Glenn yesterday and an audio MP3 is available from their site....he was interviewed by Phil Kafcaloudes, presenter of The Breakfast Club, a Radio Australia broadcast. Phil tells us, "It was great fun, and he reveals all about his hopes for an Australian tour next month." Link: radioaustralia.net.au/breakfastclub.
Glenn is actually undertaking a working visit to collaborate on songwriting with Jimmy Barnes. He still hopes to fit in a show or two if it's at all possible, but the main purpose is to work with Jimmy.

[Spiff]

Ooh. That'd be neat.

 

[Goreripper]

I was waiting for Spiff to see this.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Mind you, we have been hearing about GH coming for about a year now.
Jimmy Barnes + Glenn Hughes = Alot of Screaming

 

[Spiff]

They would go well together, I think.

From Blabbermouth:

According to a posting at GHPG.net, legendary vocalist/bassist Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) looks set to head to Australia in the coming weeks. With writing sessions booked with Australian rock legend Jimmy Barnes, negotiations are taking place for Glenn to play Australian dates. It looks set for the period June 16-20 and will include Melbourne, Sydney and possibly 2-3 Queensland shows. The famous Sydney club, The Basement, is trying to free up a show day for either June 17 or June 18. Please note that these will be acoustic shows only and guitarist JJ Marsh will be accompanying Glenn for Australian promotion purposes, so it is NOT the full-band shows.

I got a free Glenn Hughes CD from the Herald Sun last month..

[Goreripper]

Live in the City of Angels is really very good.

 

[Spiff]

Soulfully Live.

The DVD or the album? Because the DVD, visually, is one of the worst I've seen. And the sound is out of sync as well. Performance-wise, though, it's great.

 

[Goreripper]

Nah just the CD. Is that what it's called? I didn't even really notice. It's good but.
