A Message from Nick!

xantha · Posted: Mon Dec 10, 2007 6:47 pm Post subject: A Message from Nick!

Well the rumours were true, he is still alive and well and today popped by his website to leave a message for all his VIPs......

"And with that classic line from "The Life of Brian" may I just say how rubbish I have been lately? Bad, bad, boy...I know, I was away too long this time and for that I truly apologise.

I have no excuses other than being busy planning my world domination and still being minus a laptop or two..

Anyway I'm back now and just want to tease you with a few carrots for 2008.

In January I am going into the studio to record a number of tracks for a new recording project that I am involved in. There are three other singers involved (I think you will be familiar with all of them and no,I'm not joining another band.....as if!!)and I am immensely looking forward to it. I can't tell you anymore at this stage but the music is sublime and the lyrics are beautiful..so stay tuned..

So that's the first thing. Secondly, I am pleased to say that I am returning to Scottish Opera in March for some performances of new opera by composers such as Craig Armstrong (For an idea of his style listen to Romeo and Juliet soundtrack or Moulin Rouge).
Performance dates and venues are on the Scottish Opera website:www.scottishopera.org.uk

I hope to see some familiar faces at Bridgewater Hall on New Years eve and don't forget that I will be joining the Manchester Camerata in Leeds 16th March 2008 for another concert.

There are a number of things that are still up in the air as yet for Summer and Autumn but as soon as I can confirm them you'll be the first to know.

That's it for now, will be back shortly. PROMISE x x x

Nick "
I'm looking forward to hearing more about Nick's forthcoming projects and as soon as we know more, we'll be sure to post news on here. Smile

Yay! Nick's back! Very Happy

I'm so excited to hear about these projects! I need more than carrots - I need the potatoes and the turkey and cranberry sauce! lol Smile

I'm so pleased for Nick, having these new projects coming up. I'm intrigued to know who these 3 other singers are! x

Yes, Nick left us with some carrots for now... to tease us a bit. From what we heard so far it sounds fantastic. Very Happy

The following message is the latest blog from Nick's Myspace page....

Happy 2008

Stopping by to do a quick blog over here to sincerely wish everyone a very Happy and Healthy New Year and to apologise for being AWOL during the latter part of 07. Everyone here and over at my fantastic forum at nickgarrett.net have been 100% fantastic to me and my music last year and if you're as supportive this year I can't go wrong.

One thing though... my Birthday is not until April - so a little confused as to what's occurring with all the good wishes so early but feel free to make my birthday anytime you all want to - champagne, caviar, fast cars all much appreciated!

I'm rubbish at New Year resolutions so I won't promise any I can't keep....

Love

Nick x

Nick can count on his GG's for support each & every year. Smile

Happy New Years to you also Nick, wishing you much success & best wishes the whole year through. Birthday wishes a bit early for Nick, but I see his sense of humour is still in high gear. Bring on the champagne....

Support I can give, no doubt! New years resolutions, I'm with you Nick but tell us all about the ones you do intend to keep Very Happy

The three C's for the Birthday huh... gee he's getting demanding! Razz

Hopefully his new year plans will include more music -preferrably in the shape of an album, more concerts and appearances and maybe even some more interviews with us here at Classicalx, it's been a while since we've had a chat with Nick and he's always lovely to interview....fingers crossed ladies! Smile

It's a really nice message from Nick isn't it Smile

At least we know how much he appreciates our support - but then we knew that already Smile

And of course we'll support him throughout this year as well.

As for the new years resolutions.... I'd hope that one would be to give us more music Very Happy

And to post on the forum more often. Wink

The folowing message was posted by Nick in his myspace blog today...

"All good with me...hoping to see a few familiar faces at the Leeds Town Hall on March 16th.

Love to all the GG's as always

Nick has posted a message on his website forum following his concert at Leeds Town Hall last week...

Dear friends,

A big thank you to everyone who came to Leeds Town Hall last Sunday to hear the Broadway Songs concert. I had a great time and was especially proud to see a full compliment of GG's who excelled themselves in their dress for the occasion ("The usual suspects"... xx) Not only did they bring their gorgeous selves but they came laden with gifts of a birthday and Easter nature for me. Thank you all - you never disappoint.

I must tell you about one of the gifts however. It is called a "Splat Toy" - a rubber, springy fluid filled thing that you throw at the wall and hey presto!....all your executive stress melts away and the toy recovers its shape. Genius...

I just want to tell you about Tosca at Holland Park. I am singing Scarpia and the dates are 3,5,7,9,11, and 13 July 2008.
I am very excited about this project and am immensely looking forward to it.

Also, I will be singing Escamillo in Carmen on a nationwide tour with English Touring Opera in the autumn - details to follow.

Have a happy Easter,

Much love,

Mr HAPPY.... x x x
