Welcome to the forum Andy and Jo!

Agreed, the Roadhouse was indeed a very special night, one I don't think any of us will ever forget. You know what? In so many ways it was like coming home for me too, and I don't mind getting overemotional about it, I think everyone expects that from me by now! [:D]

Hi my name is Kim and I was born in West London.

My favourite FM album is 'Aphrodisiac'.

I first heard about FM when I heard the single ‘Frozen Heart’ being played on the radio in 1985 and thought who’s that? I immediately bought the ‘Indiscreet’ album on vinyl and the cassette for the car.

My first FM gig was at the Astoria in 1989. The second was at Hammersmith Odeon on the 3rd of November 1989 also for the ‘Tough It Out Tour’. I also asked a couple of friends to come along and they were instantly converted FM fans. Finally I saw them on the 2nd of March 1992 for the ‘Takin’ It to the Streets Tour’. I didn’t see them again until 17 years later at the Roundhouse this year.

In between the FM reunion I had seen Steve and Pete’s band ‘SO’ and their covers band in London. I also went to see Merv’s Slaves and Andy’s band the Barnstormers with Doogie White. I always hoped FM would reunite but I never really thought it would ever happen. Unfortunately I missed the first reunion gig at Firefest but made it to the Roadhouse and found it so emotional to see them again after all these years.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the Roadhouse & a big friendly welcome to you from 'the twisted rabble' that exist on this site.[:D]

Many thanks Dave!

Hi All,
My name's Aly and I live near Bolton. Was a big fan of FM back in the day and think I saw them live about three times..(memory a bit hazy because much Jack Daniels has been consumed since then!!) I remember getting into FM when I used to go to the rock clubs in Wigan and Manchester. Met the guys at a signing in Warrington years back. I LOVE the Indiscreet album. Didn't know that the guys were back together until this week when I heard a familiar voice on Radio 2 (we have the music piped into our place of work so could never catch whether it was FM or not, finally got the other half to shazam the tune and hey presto....there it was, FM and Hollow!! I immediately came home and played some of those wonderful tracks that I loved so much. Talk about reliving my youth, feel bad about neglecting them but they are back and they're on my ipod and now have the new album. Hopefully will get to see you live sometime soon [:D]

Aly welcome back. Enjoy the rediscovery!!!!

Suppose i'd better throw something into the ring, seeing as though i keep chipping in on conversations all over the show for the last year!!

I'm Paul, 41, live in North Manchester with my partner Dawn....
First saw FM way back in 85/86 supporting Magnum and that was it, i was hooked. Met the boys outside the Apollo and they signed the programme and I have now seen the boys on approximately 40 + occasions, need to check ticket stubs.... but want to make it the big 50 next year... Have virtually all of the early stuff on 7", 12", picture disc, CD.. i went overboard!!

Took Dawn for her first FM experience to Manchester a few weeks ago and she loved it, particularly thenewer stuffand we were lucky enough to get to meet and greet again. I told her to bow in front of Rock Royalty and she looked at me funny like women do sometimes... needless to say she didn't bow.... heathen!

Music tastes, whilst always a ROCKER, tastes are somewhat diverse... FM, Zep, Clutch, Romeo's Daughter, Metallica, Sex Pistols, Pink Floyd, Airbourne, AC/DC etc...
Used to play in my own band, '67 Kung Fu Eskimos' and rivalled Juppy on the sticks!! well, ahem, my mum said i was good anyway!!! [:-?]
you'llprobably have heard of the band!! no? oh well all in my imagination how good we were going to be then......
actually sold my kit a few years ago and cried when it went!! the fella who bought it, bought it for his son and asked me to set it up and show him what goes where and so he could take picture of it to show his son. He asked me to play and i did and the moment i hit the first beats i thought " what the hell am i doing selling my kit?" anyway, its gone now and it was nearly as old as me!

It's been nice to chat with all those i've chatted with so far and i'm sure i've started to put names to faces whilst at meet n greets and gigs over the past 6 months or so. be them FM or Romeo's Daughter shows.. none of you know me yet or have seen my face yet... q evil laugh.....

i'll keep chipping away in that Fantasy Football league....and i'll keep on rocking and playing air drums like the mildly eccentric person i am.

farewell & adieu to you fair spanish ladies....[:)s]
