Really-From: Sakari Jalovaara <sja@sirius.hut.fi> I just came from the airport and haven't even unpacked my bags (except for opening CD the box set.) I'm sure there will be detailed reports later; just a couple of quick notes: Kate was there for a bit longer than just to say "hi"; she sat on a couch on the stage for something like 45 minutes answering questions. It was GREAT! She sang too... She'll tour next year. She told, as she said earlier in the HMV "Q" magazine interview, that she has started writing for the next album. Of course it will take quite a lot of time to get from "started writing" to the release day. There was pretty neat stuff for sale: a new T-shirt (dark blue with a red fem/KT symbol on the heart), programmes from her first tour, badges, posters, old KBC mags, ... And when you bought something you got it in a white plastic bag with a big black fem/KT symbol (here's to hoping it isn't bio-degradable :-) There were a few (three?) live performances by Kate fans doing covers of Kate songs. Interesting but I think I prefer the originals :-) There was a video documentary (who put it together? Peter Morris & the gang?) It was, something like 1 to 1.5 hours long and contained some commercially available videos, live TV performances, bits of TV interviews, less easily available videos, etc. It was shown in three parts on a big video wall (the wall was of marginal quality.) The tape is not available for copying :-( I don't know how many people were there; someone said 1200, someone 1500. My ticket number was > 1100 (it's somewhere in the luggage) so there should be at least that many tickets sold. There was also the quiz (the prize was an individually autographed box set for every member of the team!) and a raffle (1st prize: a performing costume of Kate's!! Everyone who was there: where has she used it?) Well, the tour isn't quite certain yet. She's definitely planning live performances late next year but it's on planning stage and it might not end up being a big tour but "just a few shows." If things go smoothly, she'll announce the tour in January. Pretty nice, huh? ++sja

I'm sure there will be detailed reports later; just a couple of quick notes: Kate was there for a bit longer than just to say "hi"; she sat on a couch on the stage for something like 45 minutes answering questions. It was GREAT! She sang too... She'll tour next year. She told, as she said earlier in the HMV "Q" magazine interview, that she has started writing for the next album. Of course it will take quite a lot of time to get from "started writing" to the release day. There was pretty neat stuff for sale: a new T-shirt (dark blue with a red fem/KT symbol on the heart), programmes from her first tour, badges, posters, old KBC mags, ... And when you bought something you got it in a white plastic bag with a big black fem/KT symbol (here's to hoping it isn't bio-degradable :-) There were a few (three?) live performances by Kate fans doing covers of Kate songs. Interesting but I think I prefer the originals :-) There was a video documentary (who put it together? Peter Morris & the gang?) It was, something like 1 to 1.5 hours long and contained some commercially available videos, live TV performances, bits of TV interviews, less easily available videos, etc. It was shown in three parts on a big video wall (the wall was of marginal quality.) The tape is not available for copying :-( I don't know how many people were there; someone said 1200, someone 1500. My ticket number was > 1100 (it's somewhere in the luggage) so there should be at least that many tickets sold. There was also the quiz (the prize was an individually autographed box set for every member of the team!) and a raffle (1st prize: a performing costume of Kate's!! Everyone who was there: where has she used it?) Well, the tour isn't quite certain yet. She's definitely planning live performances late next year but it's on planning stage and it might not end up being a big tour but "just a few shows." If things go smoothly, she'll announce the tour in January. Pretty nice, huh? ++sja

Interesting but I think I prefer the originals :-) Agreed. One of the women who sang (the one with the programmable synth backup) sounded a little Enya-ish, but didn't sing nearly as well. Very good, though - just not as good as Kate or Enya. I thought that the six dancers were *very* good, though. I'm not sure about this, but were they wearing outfits from the _Running_up_that_ _Hill_ video? >There was a video documentary (who put it together? Peter Morris & >the gang?)

The >tape is not available for copying :-( The video was *great*! Some of the things that stick out from it for me were: Seeing Kate and Peter Gabriel sing Roy Harper's _Another_Day_. I'd heard it, but never seen it. Very moving. I hope it gets released one of these days... It was also interesting to finally see what Ken of the GLC looked like. Kind of made the song make a lot more sense. Speaking of unreleased songs, Kate also talked about how great it was to record Elton John's _Rocket_Man_, as she had always been a fan of his. I don't think that it'll ever be released, as, according to Kate, it's not up to her whether it will come out or not, but up to the record company. >Pretty nice, huh? I think that's putting it mildly. -- Mark A. Semich mas@bucsf.bu.edu
