Happy New Year……….

Wahey mates! Belated New Years Greetings to one and all. I hope it is a corker for everyone.

We’ve had a few emails about the 30th Anniversary US Tour T-Shirts, and would there be any more available, so we’ve given the artwork ( thank you Susan Weller!) to www.cafepress.co.uk/L42MERCHANDISE and they will make an official re-issue t-shirt for you. We have also uploaded some ‘classic’ early official Level 42 tour t-shirt designs and will be adding to these if they seem popular.

Once again thanks to www.cafepress.co.uk for the merch!

Live dates coming in for 2011…… I’ll post them as soon as they are confirmed.

Love to all, Mx

  5. Happy new year to you, as well, Mark! Hope yours was a corker as well. πŸ˜€

    I’m so glad there will be shirts of the 30th anniversary US tour available again! I believe they’ve sold out by the time the band arrived in Southern California!

    LIVE DATES FOR 2011! I’d been waiting for those! I’m hoping the US will be included, once again! Please try to get the House of Blues in Anaheim (practically my backyard!) or the Sunset Strip booked, if you can! πŸ˜€

    Wahey! πŸ˜‰

  15. Belated Happy New Year to you Mark and the guys. So glad to hear you would be including Canada on your tour this year! Toronto’s Massey Hall awaits your return…..!!!

    All the best,
    Brian and Shelley

  16. Hope everyone is having a great 2011……There is a radio station in USA……..Boston Massachusetts where I live that presents a concert series in the summertime………really nice outdoors type of thing down on the water on the famous Hatch Shell……….where the world famous Boston Pops perform. Oldies 103.3 FM……..they play music from the 60s 70s 80s. I am a member and they sent an email yesterday to its members about what groups that people would like to see perform for the summer concert series 2011……………well of course I sent my reply……..and said that I would like to see….Level 42……if this ever happens…..it would be more than I could stand…….I could not imagine the excitement of the many fans. It would trully be an awesome experience……….so I will keep my fingers crossed.

  17. Happy new year Mark & Level 42! Hope you are doing some UK dates as I will deffo come along to hear you guys play πŸ™‚

  18. Hello! My name is Graciela Sanchez, is of Buenos Aires, Argentine Republic, never loses the hope of which they happen through our country, is my dream… are many fanatics here his that live music on the 80 day to day.
    Pardon by the translation, but I am using a translator. Not like communicating to me with You, please!
    Marc if you answer east message to me will fill me of happiness, and but if they think about the possibility of coming to Argentina. Thank you very much .
    mail: graciela1807@yahoo.com.ar Thank you!

  19. Great to hear about the new merchandise & tourdates.
    Is there any chance of you guys doing a live in concert for BBC radio 2.Just imagine playing your hometown gig with about 14 million listeners worldwide.It would be a fantastic way to celebrate 30 years in the business

  20. Same for you Mark ! And perhaps include Aruba in your tour schedule… could be nice, chilling on the beach, coconut filled with rum in your hand. See my comment under your post ‘grinning in groningen’. I seem to have missed you guys by 12 days due to my emigration to Aruba in October 2008 πŸ™ I am, what you may call, one of the new crowds, just joint and registered as per today. No excuse, I am 37, should not have missed it, but I have unforgivably πŸ˜‰ Some serious catchin’ up to do I guess!
    Big brasa, Janis

  21. Ps… On second thought, perhaps from a pure commercial point of view, Aruba may not be the most prosperous choice for a live gig… people here simply haven’t got a clue and you will be performing for a few lost Dutchies.

    Neverthelles, our white beaches and rum drentched coconuts are still the greatest !

  22. A very happy New Year to you and yours Mark! Just got my super cool Level 42 hooded sweatshirt from CafePress.com and I love it. Hope to catch you guys again this coming year.

  23. Hey Mark, Happy New Year to you and yours too (and to the rest of the guys).
    Would be great if you could fit in a gig at the Cork Jazz Festival at the end of October.
    Haven’t seen ye live since your last gig in Dublin back in 2006.
    Was talking with one of the festival organisers who said that they had looked at bringing ye over a couple of times in the past but that it had never worked out due to scheduling, etc.
    Wouldn’t it be great if it worked out this year!? Ha!
    Best Wishes,
    Nigel.

  24. I’ve been watching the BBC Radio Solent acoustic performances on YouTube from ’06, and I’m thinking, it would definitely be fantastic if, during this upcoming tour, they would do an acoustic/unplugged set, in the middle of their regular set, especially when playing smaller clubs/venues. I hope you would consider doing that, Mark! πŸ™‚

  25. Sorry, me again! *sheepish grin* But, I just wanted to thank Mark for my signed copy of the Retroglide CD. Received it in the post today. πŸ™‚ Completely made my day! An early birthday present! πŸ˜€ Love you! Thanks again! x

  26. Foundation of the Empire popped out of my playlist for the first time in ages. Got me thinking about refernece to The series of books by Issac Asimov. Although Foundation is possibly my fave Level 42 track (big call) and I read the series of books some years ago, (although I never made the connection for ages in the title) I never had the opportunity to ask anyone about the reference. Glad to find the web site.
    Can anyone (band or fan) tell me / confirm the link or otherwise. To me at least the pace of the track reflects the pace of the books. Or am I thinking too hard again! Regards Tim

  27. Dear Mark,

    Just to let you know, I just received some items from cafepress. Look’s good!! The only thing that suprised me was that i had to pay extra for costums in the netherlands, I though the clouths where coming from england but now I saw it’s coming from the usa. So poeple from holland know that you have to pay a 25% extra for custom services.
    Is the new DVD ready???

    Best regards, Daan
