    ........ We're here in Portugal where yesterday we just missed a multi-car pileup due to ice on the highway ??!! There were cars sliding all over the place. ..L A T E S T - N E W S:...... ...... ...... ...... .... 19th Nov Congrats to JOHN CALE,OBE! It was a funny and strange day -- ...... border="0" .......... ...... ...... .... Los Angeles show - Just Added very special guests: Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie / Postal Service) and Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age) - This is gonna be FUN!! .......... .... 11th Sept BRESCIA CONCERT SOLD-OUT! .......... .... 5th Sept PARIS CONCERT SOLD-OUT! check back with the box office as we are trying to release a few extra seats if possible** .......... ...... .. .......... .. .... June 11, 2010 ....The Queen's Honours list has been posted and our John Cale has received an OBE for his contribution to the Arts!! Congrats!!!...... ...... .......... .. a quick bit about JOHN CALE .. .... ..John Cale's footprints are stamped all over the last four decades of musical history. Classical, Avant Garde, Post-Modern, Alternative, Proto-Punk, Noisy Sonic Experiments, Goth and even an occasional simple melody in 4/4 time! Through co-founding the Velvet Underground, the music he has made as a Solo Artist, and a mind-boggling array of collaborations, he has amassed a deserved reputation as a pioneering, deeply influential presence. Moreover, his horizons continue to extend nudging his music into invigoratingly fresh territory. He's worked as a producer, musician, arranger, writer on some of the most pivotal records in the rock canon - everything from Nico, The Stooges, Nick Drake, Patti Smith, Siouxsie And The Banshees to The Happy Mondays, Ambulance Ltd and LCD Soundsystem to name but a small fraction (there's even a Disco record, but that's for another time). At this point, Cale could be forgiven for kicking back but laurel resting isnt in the picture and the super-fit squash fanatic's energy levels are those of a man half his age; as is his antennae for the cutting edge in contemporary music. John Cale's current creative output keeps him forever teetering over the cutting edge. His footprints may be stamped all over the past - but unlike so many of his peers, his paths cleary extend into the future. .. Next chapter coming soon.............. ..

    ....The Guardian, Saturday 12 June 2010 star-studded honours list Film and TV stars share the glory with rock musicians, as well as those who give their talents to charity, in the Queen's birthday honours list .... ..Catherine Zeta Jones, who made the leap from Darling Buds of May sweetheart to Hollywood star, leads the field, receiving a CBE for her services to the film industry and charity. Sophie Okonedo, nominated for an Oscar in Hotel Rwanda, receives an OBE. John Nettles gets an OBE for a long career in television, notably for ridding Jersey of criminals as Bergerac before a losing battle to keep the body count down in Midsomer Murders. .... Nineteen sixties musicians John Cale and Graham Nash, who made Britannia cool long before Tony Blair, and Brian Cox, the particle physicist who played keyboards for D:Ream on the New Labour anthem Things Can Only Get Better, are among others adding glitter to the list. Zeta Jones is married to Hollywood royalty Michael Douglas and won a best supporting actress Oscar for her role in Chicago, but regularly returns to her native Wales and was appeal patron for the Children's Hospital for Wales. .... Cale, 68, and also born in Wales, is made an OBE for his influence on music and the arts. One of the legendary 1960s Velvet Underground, he remains an enduring tourer, having worked with Patti Smith and Marc Almond, producing bands like the Happy Mondays, and Siouxsie and the Banshees, and influencing generations of followers. Last year he represented Wales at the Venice Biennale arts festival. .. .... ..........

    Hi John. I can't believe I'm 'talking' to you right now...and on Christmas Day, too! I've been a fan of The Velvet Underground for the last 15 years and have been getting more and more into your solo work recently. I tried to purchase your autobiography online but it seems to be out-of-print. I did manage to acquire Victor Bockris' VU book...but it's still in the mail. Anyway, it'll be great to follow your future progress over here on "My Space". By the way, instead of the usual corny Christmas stuff, I've just posted your truly stirring rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Halellujah" on my Facebook profile:

    Wishing the Very Best this Christmas and for the coming New Year to you and yours. Mario from Malta.
