3. LANDMARQ IN HOLLAND
--------------------------------
Landmarq's return to Holland last month was a resounding success both for the band and for those that made it to the concerts. Thank you for all the great comments and good wishes that have been emailed to us and also left in the Guestbook (link below). These have been consistent throughout Landmarq's gigs in 2003.

4. PLATO & ROBIN 2, GIG REVIEWS
--------------------------------
i) Two very nice reviews, one from the UK and one from Holland.
Marcel from German-based website Progpower has informed us of his review of the Plato gig (Helmond, Netherlands, 31st October 2003). An extract has been added to the Landmarq website 'Reviews' page and here are a couple of brief comments:
"...Tracy Hitchings...amazing voice,...really impressed me to hear her sing live...guitarist Uwe D’Rose...solos gave me goose bumps..."

ii) Steve Gould was there to see Landmarq at the Robin 2 venue in Bilston, England (6th June 2003), and his review can also be seen at the Landmarq website 'Reviews' page. Steve also sent us his photos from the gig, some of which have been included in the new Gallery collection (see below)

5. 'LIVE 2003' PHOTOS
--------------------------------
The new photo collection, 'Landmarq Live in 2003', is now online. Pictures have been taken from as many as possible of the various shows Landmarq played in the UK and Holland, though some gigs are more represented than others. A number of pics taken at various other locations on the road and back-stage have been included. We thank Martin Kessel and Steve Gould for their fine snaps at The Limelight and The Robin 2, respectively; also Rosie Watson and Henri Strik for many of the photos in the Dutch section. Thanks also to Boogi, Annette, Miguel, Mike and others who contributed and apologies if we forgot anyone.

6. NEXT ALBUM UPDATE
--------------------------------
With the live dates out of the way for the time being, Landmarq are now continuing the serious work of writing new material for their next album, which is scheduled for release in 2004. Anyone who caught the recent live gigs will have seen the band perform a few new tunes in their set and judging by the overall reaction and positive comments, things are looking good.
Among these is 'Thunderstruck', a "10-minute-plus multi-styled opus" (...er, yeh!) which, as has been previously mentioned, sees the band returning to their habit of including the title track of a previous album on it's follow-up.

Cheers for now,
