2000 Basildon Convention
April 27, 2000
At the recent BONG Convention in Basildon (on April 15th), messages from the band were played in regard to their future. Listen to the messages (in one soundfile - Quicktime 4 format), or simply read the transcript below:
DAVID - "Hi this is Dave, and I'm sitting in a caff in New York, and I just wanted to say Hi to all of you over there in Basildon, at the convention. I hope you're having a great time. Hopefully, by the end of this year we'll have finished a new record. We're going to start recording in June. Martin's written some great songs already, and I just wanted to say Hi. And we'll see you all again next year, when hopefully we'll be out on the road. All right. See you, Bye.".
FLETCH - "Good evening Basildon. Good evening the DM convention. This is Andy Fletcher, the best one-fingered keyboard player in the world - probably. Got a bit of a sore throat. Chelsea are doing very well so I've been doing a lot of singing and cheering. Have a good time, and don't waste Basildon. See you soon."
MARTIN - "Hello this is Martin. I'd like to welcome you all to wonderful Basildon. Sorry I can't be there, but as you can hear I'm in the studio at the moment, working on some new stuff with Gareth, and one of my friends Paul. And I hope you all have a great time, and I'm sure you've got lots to do. I don't know if you've seen the sight yet - all those wonderful sights there are in Basildon - all those historic places. Anyway, have a great time and see you soon. Bye."
