Sam

hi everyone on andy's email list

I hope this year has started well for you, whether you are sweltering in
southern
hemisphere heat, or sitting by the fire up north. or on skis somewhere in
between.

TOUR DIARY & WWW NEWSLETTER

andy finished the world tour at the end of last november, and has written up the
whole adventure along with photos in the latest 'world wide white' fanclub
newsletter:

"Last time there were words. A lot of them. Writing the newsletter felt like
writing a
book. Getting around to writing it took even longer than that, and when I had
finished
I knew it was only the start of the story. This time I told myself I would bring
a camera
on tour to make a visual diary for you. To put pictures to some of the people
and
places I met and visited on the world tour of autumn 2005. I arrived home with
1500
photos. You might find yourself in the ones that were chosen. Here are my notes
-
see if you can find your way around the photos. Lots of love & see you later
this year
with the new album. Andy"

you will receive a copy soon if you are a fanclub member and have the 'oak
center'
CD. if you are not and would like to know how to join, email me for details. his
tour
notes and a few of the photos are here

we are hoping to keep the 'world wide white' club going, because it gives us a
chance
to release live shows and hopefully in the future, rare songs and recordings. we
are
hoping for your support.

NEW ALBUM

andy started recording the follow-up to 'Boy 40' in the UK last summer, and
brought
the songs back to melbourne late last year. he has been in the studio for the
past few
month and the white smoke has appeared meaning that the recording is over. the
mix
is in april and european release should be later this year.

in the meantime, andy is playing some festivals in australia. maybe you can make
them. if not, we hope he will be back in north america this summer, and plans
are to
tour europe in the autumn with the new album.
