Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx An evening with John Foxx in Adelaide

thanks for getting back Rob.

I will be sort of damned if I don't fly down to Hobart to see John and if I book he will probably play in Sydney

to think about overnight.

cheers

Here is a link to a tickets site for the Hobart event.

Presumably, Maps and Birdsong is a tribute to you, Martin?

Absolutely.

It's very kind of him, don't you think?

I have booked my cheap flight, hotel and tickets to Hobart.

I am hanging out to see, listen and hopefully meet John Foxx again at this more intimate event than the 2008 concert in Sydney.

Excellent, well done.

I hope it all works out for you.
We look forward to hearing all the details of your evening

Just back in Sydney after a very enjoyable evening with John Foxx at the MONA museum in Hobart, Australia.

The first half was an interview with John ranging from his days at art school, to forming Ultravox and the first 3 albums and the famous producers they had, leaving and becoming a solo artist, retiring from music to his return and up to his current music.
He than had a break and came out for an ambient piano session that had some small treatments to create a bigger than just piano soundstage.

John was nice enough to come out and have a chat after the show. he was very surprised that the vinyl revival was going so strong as he new about the Ultravox and Cathedral Oceans releases coming up on vinyl. Interesting John calls his Cathedral Oceans music as architectural ambient music.

below is a couple of photos of John sitting down for the interview and just after he finished the ambient piano performance. and a short youtube clip to give you a idea of the ambient music he was playing ( I hope John does not mind )

Overall a fantastic evening to gain quite a bit of insight on the quiet man and his music and to meet him again.

I love these kind of panel discussions. I impetuously flew to Chicago in 2014 to see Bryan Ferry give a similar talk/interview at the museum that was hosting "David Bowie Is" a few weeks later and it was a real treat, though no music was played there.
