Will
Mostly Autumn visit my country and play a gig in my town?
We get fans contacting us from all over the world asking
such questions. Although Mostly Autumn has played gigs as far a
field as America and Mexico, the bands presence outside of various
European territories isn't huge and requests for them to suddenly
hop on a plane to play a gig in your hometown isn't a realistic
one! To give a better understanding of how things work, Mostly
Autumn would require a promoter interested in putting the band on,
and such promoters would only do so if they felt that it was
financially prudent to do so.
Even within the UK, we are amazed at the number of fans who expect
the band to play every town and village known to mankind. We
believe the band covers the UK pretty extensively so when tour
dates are announced, we suggest that if they are not playing your
town, why not arrange to go to the nearest show? A journey of
60-100 miles isn't as difficult as it may seem in this day and
age.
Do the band read the fan forums?
Yes, quite definitely. Bryan and Heather take a particular
interest in reading your comments and take them on
board.
Is former drummer Jonathon Blackmore related to
Ritchie?
No! New fans who have the Passengers album will see the credit to
Ritchie Blackmore and make the assumption that there is a
connection. Ritchie Blackmore's credit was as a result of a
stripped down version of Mostly Autumn of just Bryan, Heather and
Angela supporting Blackmore's Night on its UK tours.
How many drummers have been in the band?
It's been an ongoing joke within Mostly Autumn that over the years
the band as had more drummers than Spinal Tap. There were periods
in the early days of the band when there were different drummers
for almost every gig, but since 2000, the band has only actually
had four drummers: Jonny Blackmore, Andrew Jennings, Gav Griffiths
and current drummer Henry Bourne.
If
you have questions for the band we can take them hear and ideally publish
answers within the pages of Autumn Leaves.
