This has just come to me via Facebook.
Nice preview by Luca Borioni:
John Foxx in concert in Ancona ...
I lived there when I was young. And behind the sound of that city, I discovered the first tape of Ultravox, I received by mail Metamatic (import disc) and listened adoring the music of John Foxx. In the scenario of the Lazzaretto - once it was a place of quarantine – I spent summer evenings of cinema that often had an extra of exclusive videos... including those of Ultravox and John Foxx.
Coming back there on Saturday for a live performance of our hero, in my own place, to hear the same songs back then... it tastes like a magical event.
Sadly I won't be going but many I know will, and we should see some fervent activity on the FB Italian fanpage "THE GARDEN" shortly afterwards.
Ondarock.it will also being doing a full live review via excellent young writer Matteo Meda, who has also been preparing an extensive biog on JF, to go live next month.
He also reviewed Shape of Things recently

Matteo Meda's biog is up now ... all in Italian of course but have a scroll through just to get an idea of the sheer entity of it!

Well done to everyone involved.
This also might be interesting - I wonder what is 'coming soon'...?
