Florian Arndt - what a success in performing

Hi Dec!

Fantastic! It was a fantastic performance! We looked stunning! We had to perform an extra song.

I think we had to sign pictures for about half an hour after the show appearance. I had to pose for pictures, sign pictures, arms, stomachs, cell phones, bags, even t*ts... ;-)

We appeared on the same stage as acts like 'Starsplash', 'Soul Control' (Chocolate) and Hot Banditoz (Veo Veo). We were the only artists that got "Ausziehen! Ausziehen!" shouts from the audience, which means "take off your clothes".

Everything we did this evening was very strongly influenced by you. Thanks. Florian Arndt [Germany]

Dec Cluskey, the founder and present C.E.O. of 'The Serious Writers Guild', started his career with his UK based band: 'The Bachelors'.

Here we are 13 years later. 

My new commission is 'The Magnificent 11' ... starts filming 12th Sept 2011 ... major, major film. I write the score.

In recent past I had two Liverpool 08 commissions. First with 200 choir on the history of Liverpool from year 1004 to present. Second a major CD Brass Band album with Fairey Brass Band with all of my stuff on.

My last 11 years has been f***** hard, financially I've gone through it, wife, car, house all nearly went.

I was nominated in 2004 for a BACS in conjunction with BBC Radio 3 listeners, other nominations in this same category were Sir Peter Maxwell Davis & Sir Harrison Birtwistle & Judith Bingham..

EXCITING NEWS! I¹ve just had an email from the producer of the UK Radio 2 Good Morning Sunday show, saying that she¹s hoping they will play "Angels Exist" from “Play My Heart” in their programme this coming Sunday!

She¹s intending that they feature it in their “Sunday Spotlight” slot about 8.20am.

Roger Royle is presenting the programme on the 15th as Aled Jones is away that week.

And if you¹re not an early riser, you can always listen to it on ³Play Again² on the BBC Radio 2 website at some later stage! Here¹s the link: www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/goodmorningsun/

I'm on tour all over Europe with the band that I'm producing. We're the official support act for 50 Cent. 15 shows in the greatest countries of Europe. You can find a tour schedule on my website: www.marcelbrell.de

Anyways. I wanted to invite you to the show, we played in the O2 Arena in London in front of 10.000 People and it was pretty massive... I had some free tickets for you, but the friendly lady who I talked to on the phone told me you were on tour. Thought we could have met each other... well, next time maybe.

I was asked to play at the Pepsi Music festival in Buenos Aires. This is a major event, even the most important festival held on this country (and maybe the whole South American continent). it lasts 10 days and almost every major local star will play, as well as many international acts like Megadeath, The Wailers, Die Toten Hose, etc.

"I know what kind of stuff you play, and I'm calling you to do exactly that. Your sound is cool. in fact, YOU are cool. I wouldn't mind to have you on stage just dancing next to your keyboards, you would be adding a cool feature to our band. You have a killing image".

Now, I imagine that when I'm onstage there will be dozens of keyboard players in the audience complaining that they can play way better than me... Well I guess I learned a couple of tricks in your course.

I think you would have liked this...

It's been a while that I had time to write to you - but things have been busy. Perfect proof that YOUR way to do business is right - we are one of 10 bands selected for the finals in a competition to play "Download" this year, great publicity - "Rock Hard" in Germany love our CD as well and we have our gig in April which will be packed because of the increase in the mailing list.

"Things are going damn good! I´m constantly improving as a person and as a musician - thanks to your program.
I´m becoming an expert for nonlinear composing and adaptive an interactive audio, I started my own publishing business, I develop production and DJ seminars at musicschools for young children, I have gigs with international Chart-Acts (for example with Special D).
I very closely collaborate with your liveperforming member Marcel Brell. We produced some of his tracks together. Next Friday, I will be performing with him at "Sommer im Park" in Hamburg. I worked with TOP 20 producers, for example with Henning Verlage. You improved my life so much. Thank you. I really appreciate your help via emails. The greatest support I ever got!!

Richard Barriball...an inspiration?"
I have just performed the best concert of my 19 year long career in the Royal Marines Band Service which was performed in Leeds Town Hall.
And during the show, we played "I Believe" (which would please Dec), and John Williams' "Hymn to the Fallen" which with the stage presentation that went with it, many people wanted to cry. It was just like something out of Hollywood but done in the British way.
Some of the choir are going to perform in Disneyland very soon... So I bought the leading soprano a Chardonay at the hotel...not a glass but a bottle in an ice bucket - a small investment if she can help my song writing take off.
The Royal British Legion concert will be aired on BBC Radio Leeds on Remembrance Sunday at 8am. So I''ve just got to finish an arrangement of "Time To Say Goodbye" for the next Mountbatten Festival of Music in the Albert Hall. I wonder where I'll be going next!"

What you were saying about saving for something and then not buying it really does work, I was going to tell you earlier, thats what happened when I bought my rock star car.

Better go - I thought of a great drum loop while I was away so it's time to put it to good use.

Hi Dec

Played a really late gig last night (Monday) so I went to bed early tonight. But I just had to get up and write this.

Before I embarked on your course I was, no word of a lie, a labourer on a building site. Now I play in clubs, at festivals, at holiday camps, easily 4 or 5 nights a week, have an album throughout Europe. We have been asked to play dates in Germany, Holland, France and Belgium next year.
