25 May 1999 - Gary on GRANADA TONIGHT! |
Report 1/1 |
|
|
Was it worth it - we here you ask?
Well maybe, at least he was on tele, even if it was for two/three
minutes with not much content!
Gary was interviewed by Paul Crone at KEY
103 studios. He looked very fit and healthy, wearing green
combat pants, white t-shirt and black sleeveless bodywarmer
- he was also sporting a "goatee" beard!
When asked about the recent articles in THE
SUN, Gary replied "Don't believe everything you read
in newspapers"! (Having read an article in
Music Week this week where Gary said that the articles
were the truth but that he was disappointed at how it turned
out, we are now totally confused!! Just what is the truth?
. . . ed)
The subject was then quickly changed to the
new single, due to be released on 5 July (we also understand
that 4 October 1999 is the proposed date for the release of
the album "Stonger"). Paul suggested that Gary should
"get out there and do some promotion, more interviews on
tv like this". Gary said that he was using this interview
as a rehearsal!
Gary then asked Paul if he was going to run
the new single and offered him a suitcase of ten pound notes
to do so! (LOL) - Gary was certainly back on form, back to
his usual boyish humoured self! A small clip of the Open Book
video was shown with the snippit of the remixed "Stronger"
which is a very much improved song and definitely a Top 10
hit!!
Good news for Spanish fans, Gary told
Paul that he was off to Barcelona this weekend to watch the
Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday, 30th May!!
Although the interview was very short without
much content, it was good to see Gary back on our screens
again.
WELCOME BACK GARY!!!

March 99 : Congratulations Gary! |
|
With thanks to GBML members being quick off
the mark they bought us the news that Gary has finally asked
his long time girlfriend Dawn Andrews to marry him! The story
was broken by the Sun newspaper yesterday and the below article
from the newspaper was first posted on the GBML.....
Gary Barlow is planning a Millennium wedding
after getting engaged to long time girlfriend Dawn Andrews.
The former TAke That star popped the question during a romantic
Valentine's Date dinner at New York's exclusive Four Seasons
Hotel. Dawn immediately and "Yes" and they celebrated with
a bottle of champagne.
A diner said; There was a bit of commotion
and then she screamed. "They seemed to be a couple very much
in love they couldn't keep their hands off each other. Gary
looked like the cat who got the cream. He was smiling from
ear to ear". The next day Gary and Dawn both 28, bought a
stunning £10,000 diamond ring from a trendy 5th Avenue
jeweller.
They then spent a romantic night at Niagara
Falls. A pal of Gary's says: "He'd been planning it for a
while and was very nervous. But I don't think there was ever
a chance she would say no. They're well suited and always
support one another no matter what life throws at them."
Gary fell for Dawn while she was a dancer on Take That's final
tour in March 1996.
Many congratulations to Dawn and Gary from all of us at
GB FANS.

March 99 : Happy 99 Virus Alert |
| We thought it best to warn you about a virus that
is spreading rapidly through the email and newsgroup system.
The virus is more like a worm and is delivered directly
into your mailbox attached to somebody's email message. Before
you get upset if this has happened to you, the person sending
it probably has no idea that they it has attached itself to
the email.
The worm is called 'Happy99.exe' and when it gets delivered
to someone's mailbox and they open up the attachement, this
will then change the file that affects how your emails are
sent out. It will instruct your mail program to attach a copy
of this worm to EVERY email that you send out. For example:
If you are a regular on email discussion lists and you unknowingly
have this worm attaching itself to your emails, then you have
most probably infected a further 100 people!
Although it doesn't actually damage your hard drive or affect
your computer, this is still an increasing program and is
spreading very rapidly. In fact that is why we are letting
you know, because our web designer has just fallen into it's
trap and managed to get rid of it.
It is very hard to tell if you have the virus or not and
judging by how quickly it is spreading we recommend that you
check your system just in case. Follow the link below for
details about the virus, how to check if you have it and finally
how to remove it.

January 99 : A Message from Gary |
We have been asked by Gary's management company to pass on
the message below which is from Gary to all fans. This message
has been passed to all Gary Webmasters who took part in the
Message Book project last September and we would like to take
this opportunity to thank them for all their help and support
in "Bringing Fans Together". This message from Gary is to thank
everyone who has sent him messages, letters and presents over
the past few months. . . .
" Hi there, you probably won't believe this, but it is actually
Gary Barlow here. Anyhow, as my management company has passed
all your website thoughts and messages on to me I just thought
I'd let you all know that I am thinking of you.
I know you're all pretty fed up about the tour and about the
long wait for my new material but the fact of the matter is
that I have to finish the new album. I love touring as you all
know so this wasn't an easy decision but if I don't crack on
I won't have any new material to play to you let alone release!!
For one reason or another, the production side of things has
got really delayed due to people being ill or unavailable, producer's
having babies etc and this is the only reason that the tour
has been postponed. I don't ever want to give any of you anything
that isn't my absolute best especially when you've all been
so supportive and kind and so I hope you'll understand why this
has happened.
It was great receiving all the letters from you before Christmas
and it really cheered me up reading your messages. It's impossible
for me to reply to every letter but I love reading them and
hearing about what you're up to. Anyway, it won't be long before
I'm back in action, the new single will definitely be out in
July and the rescheduled dates will be announced by the end
of the week.
I enjoyed seeing some of you at The Parkinson Show cos it
means a lot to me knowing that you are still there for me. The
Fanclub hotline will keep you updated with news of anymore promotional
events and if I don't see you before I can promise you that
we'll have a really special time on the Christmas Tour.
Also, a big big thank you for those of you who sent me Christmas
and Birthday presents. Mike passed a lot of pressies on to me
and I've been chomping my way through all the choccy ever since
!!! I got some good books too, a bit of aftershave and even
a towel! I have to say that all in all I'm pretty well looked
after.
Bye for now, I am thinking of you,
Lots of love Gary xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

: Gary's Appearance on PARKINSON |
Report
1/1 |
|
|
Gary appeared on the PARKINSON Show last night and sang "Stronger",
the title track from his new album, which we hope we will
all see before the Autumn.
Gary appeared quite well, though he had the dreaded stubble!
The song is excellent and for those of you who did not get
to hear it on PARKY we will have a sound file up shortly in
our MULTIMEDIA section, together with the Lyrics. We also
hope to show clips from the Show in our PICTURE files.
Although Gary sounded in fine form, the postponed Tour was
mentioned only briefly as now being set back to the end of
the year.

: UK TOUR POSTPONED |
Report
1/1 |
|

We are sorry to have to inform you but it has just been announced
that the UK Tour in April/May has been postponed until
a date later in the year (no date arranged as yet). Full details
of all the new dates will be sent out to Fanclub members with
CD4 which will (apparently) be sent out at the end of January.
If you are a member of the Fan Club and have access to the
Fanclub Hotline number there is a personal message from Gary
announcing the news. In brief he said:
- The new album has been delayed (again!) and should be
released by the autumn.
- Gary intends to release his new single before the summer.
- He does not wish the tour to commence without any new
material to play.
- A full explanation of this will be given by Gary on the
PARKINSON SHOW this coming Friday, 22 January (9.30
pm BBC1).
- He's sorry!
Many thanks to Claire Marney from GBEX for contacting us
about this. We have now also spoken to GloBe and they confirm
that the Tour is POSTPONED, not cancelled!
We will of course keep you posted on what Gary says about
the tour after appearing on Parkinson this saturday. We know
you will be feeling very disappointed once again, so there
is nothing much more we can say to ease your disappointment
because we too feel just the same. Feel free to leave your
comments regarding this situation in the Gary Zone of the
Discussion Board.

Unfortunately they have no title because all they have

on the news on GBML. No doubt this will be the song Gary will
be singing on Parky!! Hopefully more details regarding
the album will be divulged on THE PARKINSON SHOW on 22 January
