Corrections to my last mail!!

Sorry, just realised that there was one mistake and one thing left out completely in my last email. 1. The Classical Brits are being shown on ITV not on Thursday, but TONIGHT AT 10.30 AND CONTINUING AT 11.30. So get your VCRs ready.... 2. The UK paper The Express today had a free CD to tie in with the Classical Brits. Dominic is on the CD performing a piece by Bach, and if you get to a newsagent there might be a copy left.

....For some reason the posting put my email address as "tooskinneejs at hotmail.com"... It should be "tooskinneejs(a)hotmail.com".

Dominic interview + free CD + "Sacred Love" news
by Angeline Adams 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

Hi all, Today's copy of a Northern Ireland newspaper called the "Sunday Life" had an article about/mini interview with Dominic Miller (there's a local connection in that his mum is from here). He talks about the appearance he and Sting made at the Classical Brit Awards (which are televised on Thursday on ITV), the time when they performed in Belfast (I was there for the second night when they came here for the BND tour), and "Sacred Love". Here's the article, copied and pasted from the paper's website: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Publication Date: 01 June 2003 Dom goes down a 'strum' By John McGurk A WORLD class guitarist with Ulster connections will be in good 'Shape' tonight, at the top telly show for classical music talent. For Dominic Miller is starring at the Classical BRITS Awards show - with the help of the superstar he usually plays sidekick to . . . Sting! The 43-year-old, who releases his new solo album, Shapes, tomorrow, has played in front of millions, during his 14 years as Sting's leading guitar man. But for Dominic - whose mum, Diana, was raised in Belfast - nothing has been as frightening as performing at the Classical BRITS. He admitted: "It was the most nerve-wracking thing I have ever done - playing in the Royal Albert Hall, with the English Chamber Orchestra. "I was nervous about it because I am from the rock and pop world, and I was going into the classical arena, and playing their tunes." Lending moral and musical support for the occasion was Sting, who made a guest appearance, to sing their co-written song, Shape Of My Heart. Argentina-born Dominic said: "He is a real sport to do that. He is a real gentleman, and a good geezer." It was the ex-Police man who inspired Dominic's album - which contains inspired guitar interpretations of classical pieces - after giving him a book of Bach music. He added: "I am excited at the prospect of seeing what develops with this. But I am going to stay with the day job." And Dominic gave Sunday Life a sneak preview of what to expect from Sting's new album, Sacred Love, out in the autumn. "It's a great record. I actually think it is his best record yet - the energy level, the songwriting, and the way he is singing, and using words, within the melodies. "He is taking a few chances, like doing some Arabic-tinged music, and the album is also quite rocky." Why i feel so at home here GUITAR virtuoso, Dominic Miller, has a string of reasons to feel at home in Northern Ireland. But the number one reason to love Ulster is his mum! Dominic has a multi-cultural background - born and raised in Argentina, teenage years spent in the USA, and then adult life in London. But it is his mother, Diana Hynes, who makes him see Ulster as a spiritual home from home. He explained: "My mum was born in Ennis, Co Clare, but she was brought up in Belfast. "Her dad, my grandfather, was a great man, who served in the two World Wars. "Mum went to Cambridge University, and became a kind of debutante girl. She met my dad, an American called Barney Miller, there. They got married, and went to live in Argentina. "I finally made it to Belfast, when Sting's Brand New Day world tour played here, in 2000. "I remember it particularly well. It was in a small theatre (the Waterfront Hall), instead of the big venues we usually play in. And it also happened to be my birthday - March 21." The dad-of-four added: "I had never been to Belfast before. But I felt a strong affinity with the place, because my mother and grandfather had lived there. It really meant something to me. "I really would like to hang out there, sometime in the future. "Hopefully, it will happen. I wouldn't even need a work excuse to go there. I just want to come to Belfast again." jmcgurk@belfast telegraph.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The original article can be found here: http://www.sundaylife.co.uk/features/story.jsp?story=411390 I find what he said about "Sacred Love" encouraging.:) Angeline _________________________________________________________________ Tired of 56k?
