Does Mick Hucknall mean anything in America? Did Simply Red have hits there?

That "Holding back the years" song was huge here in the US at one point, but that's about it.

Simply Red had TWO #1 hits in the USA, Holding Back The Years (1986) and If You Don't Know Me By Now (1989). Simply Red still has some name recognition in the States, but only an avid Simply Red fan would have any idea who Mick Hucknall is.

Ah, you're right!

face it. the name "faces" has virtually no recognition that would command ticket sales of beyond a few hundred, if that. you talk to the average music fan and i guarantee you less than 1 in 5 would be able to tell you anything about the faces. their opportunity for any kind of sustained tour of medium-sized venues vanished when rod opted out....with him, they'd no doubt bill it as rod stewart and the faces, which is probably what he asked for, knowing that without that title, nobody would go.

true true

a subtle pun ...
face it. the name "faces"

they are CONVENIENCE fees - although it's not entirely clear for whom they are convenient....(for some reason, snl's church lady's voice just popped into my head)

still seems like a great old band with a Rolling Stone would rate a story. their efforts/budget for publicity must not have been much.

I sent my tickets back today...registered mail...end of Faces story. I'm not yet going to buy tickets for TW Classics. There is no refund in case they won't show up.
Was March 9th the last time I saw some Rolling Stones (members)????

I loved the Faces when i saw them in 1975 but without Rod Stewart signing why bother going to see them!
It be like seeing the Stones without Mick Jagger!

No, they didn't. Only the 3 German concerts were cancelled.

my guess is the tour was cancelled because of low ticket sales. or maybe an illness? who knows. i highly doubt it was cancelled because mick or keith or charlie decided to get off their ass and do some stones work. cancelling a tour is a big deal. it makes promoters look bad, there's reputations at stake, money lost, etc...

seeing mac again on thursday - i'll ask

Tod, any news from Mac you've got?

Keep on rollin'

there really wasn't much effort - he told me to keep it down in my section, and i said we would if he'd keep it down in his....and...well, he didn't, so we didn't....
