   Why hello, folks.

   I will be passing through the South of England on my bicycle soon, or as I like to put it, weaving my spell. I will obviously be riding through the Isle of Wight, as it's right there, and apparently quite a nice destination.

   I just wanted to see if there's any place that I should check out. I'm looking for obvious relevant points the the boys have sung or written about. Anything that's influenced them. Being from Canada, I have my own perception of L42's music, and how it is a reflection of the European lifestyle. I've lived twice in Europe (Scotland, Switzerland) and biked around it some time back. L42 was a big part of that, and their music reminds me of the way life is over the pond. So, finding influential places that had an effect on the band would seem appropriate to me.

   Any advice appreciated.

   Cheers

   Hey BeeRich,
   Nice choice of destination, you are going to the holy grail of jazz funk my friend, back to where it all began.
   I would say the best person to find out anything about the island would be the mighty Mike iow, he is resident there and knows the lowdown on all thing's 42.
   It's been years since i was last there ( a family holiday when i was about 15 ) but i would love to get back myself and check it out.
   Mike's a great member of the forum and will no doubt put you right.

   Happy trails.

   Well it's a part of a larger tour.

   Mr. Lindup himself is a member here? Hey that's cool. I met Mark's daughter in a chat ages ago. She brought up she was from the Isle and I mentioned Mark and Mike's names, and she fell off her chair, said Mark was her daddy. What are the chances of that, eh?

   Anyway I am indeed currently planning this trip. No dates yet. Just locations I'd like to visit. The Isle of Wight is probably one location that has real meaning on this trip.

   Thanks for the reply.

   Cheers

   Unfortunately BeeRich, i didn't mean Mike Lindup, i was refering to our other man in the know Mike IOW who is a member of the forum.
   Having Mr Lindup as a member would be nice though.

   Cheers.

   Oh. I read Mike "IOW" = In Other Words. Hehe. I look forward to Mike's input.

   Cheers
