Greetings,

Our apologies for the lengthy period since our last e-news, folks.
We've certainly not been idle and a number of things are happening in the world of Landmarq.
More of that soon, but first...

1. UPLANDS GIG POSTPONED
--------------------------------
We have to announce with regret that the gig at Uplands Tavern, Swansea, S. Wales, on Friday 15th April 2005 has had to be postponed.
We must apologise to those intending to come along for the short notice of this announcement but we hope to be back there later in the year. In fact, it will be Friday 2nd December 2005.
Go to the LIVE page.

2. ProgAID UPDATE
--------------------------------
ProgAID single, 'All Around The World', has been released and has begun seeling well with some very good reviews too including Total Rock Radio and the Dutch Progressive Rock Page.
Among the many who took part were Landmarq members Tracy Hitchings -- who contributed some excellent vocals -- drummer Dave Wagstaffe and bassist Steve Gee.
No less than five separate mixes plus a docu-video have been included on the 30-minute-plus CD. So buy it! Please! :)

3. NEW ALBUM
--------------------------------
Just to say recording has at last begun on the next Landmarq studio album. We'll have much more to tell you in the next newsletter.

--------------------------------
4. BOB DAISLEY AND LANDMARQ
--------------------------------
No, before you ask, it's not Ozzie's bass player Bob Daisley!
In fact, fans of Landmarq who are familiar with the bands very early history will know that Landmarq's very first singer was a vocalist, coincidentally, with the same name. Bob never actually recorded with the band deciding to follow a more commercial musical path. He has since retired from public singing but has in recent times felt the desire to put some music together for a 'private release' CD album. Bob contacted his old friends in Landmarq to see if they would be interested in helping get the project together. Consequently, after a period of more than fourteen years, the original and first line-up of Landmarq found themselves together again, this time in a recording studio. Steve Leigh also flew back to the UK from his new home in Spain, keyboard in hand, for the three weeks of recording and preceeding rehearsals.

Bob's request was to record a selection of some of his favourite songs from various artists such as Coldplay, The Verve, Rod Stewart and others, the result being the CD album, 'Bridges'. As Bob put's it: "…it's basically a collection of songs that have a particular meaning for me within my life and times..."
Although these are cover songs from various pop artists, these versions are not carbon copies but have been given the Bob Daisley/Landmarq treatment.
The CD was pressed as a 'very limited edition' of just 500 and, as previously mentioned, is a 'private (non-commercial) release' and so not officially for sale.
If you'd like to know more, you can contact Bob through Landmarq at our regular address: info@landmarq.net
