Pretty good information, Geoff. Tell me (anyone will be fine), will the Mood Maidens make a record one day? And, with violin, cello and pianoforte, are they kind of chamber-influenced? | ||

Now also I read this information - one day after my special Go-Betweens broadcastingshow on which I mentioned, that my last information about Amanda was her appearance with Lindy at Cleopatra Wong. But Amanda has not been at Grants funeral - or am I wrong ? | ||

Carsten, Amanda also did the solo CD (a soundtrack to accompany live performance), "Incognita." Both Cleopatra Wong CDs are also worth seeking out... | ||

I wonder if its Amanda's beauty, talent or relationship with Grant that continues the inetrest in her post GoBees career as no one gives a f8ck about John Wilsteed!!!!!  | ||

Spence, in my own case, it would primarily be admiration for Amanda's arranging skills - something I'm particularly interested in! The way she worked often fairly unconventional instruments into the songs, in a way that enhances their structure without detracting from the songs themselves, is truly admirable. This probably wasn't the first post I was expecting to make, particularly at the moment. I'm a sometime keys/sax player who was recently trying to explain to my singing/violin-playing daughter how these skills could be well used in a band - and I couldn't explain it better than showing her Amanda in GB "Rock Arena" clips! And yes, she's beautiful, and "Thankyou" was like a breath of fresh air in a musical desert at the time it came out. |
