Go on Don, spill the beans. I've updated your Forum description...

I'd rather be good than official anyday....! <img border="0" alt="[The Finger]" title="" src="graemlins/thefinger.gif" />

However, many thanks to the members of Ultravox...

Yeah, but you don't get to be official without being good!

I just like to say thanks very much to Cerise for all her hard work on this & for taking the time out from her busy wee life to contact the guys, send them cd's etc etc....cheers matey

Also thanks to the band themselves for taking the time to listen to the stuff & supporting us

Regards...

Congratulations!!

Awwww....*I'm blushing*....

...only time (and the public) will tell.
Thanks, Cerise.

Congratulations from me, too! Wow, how does it feel being an official tribute band?

What does it MEAN, being an official tribute band? Can you raise your gig fees?!

If its summat worth having, then congratulations from me too.

Are there any others? I mean, to whom Officialdom has been thus denied?

..er....me?

Are you a tribute band? Just you? Admirable!!!!!

Foiled again!

Bugger.

How many others are good enough and how many others have thought to seek approval? None through here, so none that I am aware of in either case.

A well done wouldn't have gone amiss there, Miss Reynolds...

Congratulations to all involved.

and they do gigs too so...congrats
:-)

We may adopt a system where if anyone hits too many bum notes or howlers they may be denied officaildom for a set period of time....

At the moment we merely deny their claims of legitimacy....

LOL...Does that include you anarl then ML?

As the saying goes 'It does what it says on the tin'

Listen to our version of the Voice in the covers comp...believe it or not we actually sound like that, as that recording was done totally live with NO sequencers etc

From the mp3s that were posted some time ago, you sound pretty authentic, so kudos for that. And you sounded like you did it very well.

Playing live is far more fun than bedroom twiddling (oo-er!), but it would drive me mad playing someone else's stuff note for note and sound for sound. However - if no-one else is doing it for Ultravox, then why shouldn't you? AND get some recognition for it?

Is there still a tribute band market? Maybe you could get an agent and get into that market?

Thanks mate

We'd like to do a regular voxgate type gig where & when they happen & even in Milton Keynes if ye like

Well said!!! Just remember sweets, you will always have critics...but that does not mean their word is worth the paper it is written on...cheers boys and good luck this weekend

My claims of legitimacy have always been in question....

Congratulations on gaining "Official Status!!!!!"

You guys are really good, and I hope you've made Ultravox proud. They should be! Excellent job!!

Mrs. X

Edinburgh is ok, I love Edinburgh. Don't bother with Milton Keynes... Anywhere south of the border would be good... Don't mind - as long as I have time beforehand to get there, have it wherever.

That "so important meeting" that meant I couldn't come along this Friday? This afternoon it got postponed to next week... More than my life's worth to change me and Chantal's plans this weekend, otherwise I'd go and visit that nice Mr Easyjet...

At least Ari's pics should be worth seeing - hope you get a decent crowd in.

I don't think anyone's criticised Monument on here...at least that I've read. No doubt they will get more than a few metaphorical arrows in their direction from those who think Ultravox is "naff"...

Aye...or the ones that think they could do a better job....bring on the Dancing Bear I say

Well done.

Thanks, Sam. Thanks to everyone else, too.....
