1. LANDMARQ ON LBC RADIO
--------------------------------------------------
Now hear this! London-based commercial radio station LBC 97.3 recently
featured Landmarq on presenter Steve Allen's 'Thru The Night' show on
Thursday 7th October. Music reviewer Steve Hargrave is a regular guest on
the show's weekly music review, bringing in various CD's for review,
discussion, etc., and Landmarq were first in line on last weeks slot. The
live version of 'Heritage' from the album 'Aftershock' was the featured
track (or at least an excerpt of it) and the two Steve's discussed the
various albums along with other aspects of the band. Landmarq's gig at the
Underworld also received a 'plug' and the overall verdict was a definite
thumbs-up. Nice one!

2. ROTHERHAM ROCKED
--------------------------------------------------
Landmarq's return to the Classic Rock Society, Rotherham, (Sat 2nd October)
with Focus was exceptionally well-received and it was great to talk with so
many after the show. Thanks also to all those who purchased CD's. Many of
the audience members told the band they had not seen Landmarq before but had
enjoyed them very much. There were also many positive comments regarding the
all-new material the band were show-casing during this run of gigs.

CRS member, Martin Blower wrote to the band (via email) after the show
saying:
"...Fantastic show at Rotherham. Never mind the old stuff though 'sleeping
and dreaming' would have been nice, what about the new songs. Every one a
winner and the fact that the Focus audience were not in the bar but had come
in to listen, shows how good it was. All we need now is the new album..."

Thanks go to Martin Hudson and the CRS.

3. UNDERWORLD OVERTURE!
--------------------------------------------------
An absolutely superb night for Landmarq with their second gig of this run
alongside Thijs van Leer and Focus (great show guys!) playing to a
near-capacity crowd. As previously, the new songs were well-received and
very highly praised. Again, quite a number of people were seeing Landmarq
for the first time with many staying to talk with the band at the end of the
night, purchasing CDs and grabbing autographs.

Malcolm Barden wrote to say:
"...Great gig on Saturday night. love the new songs. now just get the new cd
out - I hate waiting!..."

Marc Willcox (BBC):
"...excellent show...good to see Landmarq play live and to hear the new
material..."

Thanks go to sound-man Steve Rispin plus Drew, Sploot and the rest of the
Underworld crew.

4. RIGA RETURNS
--------------------------------------------------
Landmarq's return to Club Riga, in Westcliff-on-Sea, also proved to be an
excellent night for the band. Although attendance was lower at this
particular gig, those that came along certainly enjoyed Landmarq and more
praise was received for the new material. This is a great venue for bands,
with their rather unique set-up of two separate stages, and for audiences
too, who don't have to wait long before the next band is ready to go. No
support on this particular night gave the band the opportunity to stretch
out and include some of the 'old favourites', such as 'Between Sleeping and
Dreaming' and 'Lighthouse'.

After the show, the venue was happy to book the band for next year and
consequently there are two dates back at Club Riga for 2005:
Friday 4th March 2005
Saturday 3rd December 2005

Thanks go to Steve and Dave and all at Club Riga.
