    Hi – I noticed your WordPress blog has the default “nofollow’ tags enabled.

    As you might know, any of your valued readers who leave a coment will be have any link to their websites negated to the search engines, including Google.

    If you approve the comment, YOU should be the one to decide if their links are followed, not WordPress.

    It is simple to correct this by downloading and installing the “No Follow Free” tag. This should take no more than 5 minutes to download, un-zip, and place in your WordPress.

    There is a rapdly growing community of bloggers of all stripes taking back their WordPress and Blogger blogs by removing the nofollow tag.

    If you decide to remove your nofollow tag, I will personally promote your blog to my friends and associates who will happily visit your blog and give it some traffic – this is also known as “blog love. The more comments, the more pings to Google and the Internet as a whole.

    Hope you will join us. While you are at it, you might want to check out “CommentLuv”. Many bloggers search out blogs that have this plugin installed.

    Sincerely,

    Rob Oresteen

    As far as I knew wordpress.com blogs don’t support plugins (although .org ones do) If I’m wrong please email me at the address above with full technophobe instructions on how to do it.

    Rob,
    As the only reliable source of information on TBN, sorry, let me rephrase that, as the only source of any information on TBN anywhere, any news on an album release (wishful thinking?) or tour dates ? Website is ….well, is there anyone in there ? Any rumour’s / info. would be most appreciated, as your mate in Stockport will tell you, we ‘ear nowt down ‘ear in Manchester.

    By the way, with your musical tastes, you seem like the kind of bloke who would be into Hue + Cry, just missed the gig they did down here but the new album’s great.
    Regards,
    Terry.

    I quite like Hue and Cry Rob but to be honest my wife is a bigger fan. We saw them once, at the height of their powers at the Barrowland in Glasgow and they were very good. As for The Blue Nile, Paul B promised a new album in 2006 and 2008. Going by previous track record I’d say 2011 would be the earliest. He sees the band’s (his) career as an arc of five albums and has been quoted on it. So long as it’s not a covers album of stuff like Strangers in the Night and Are You Lonesome Tonight? (The former performed with TBN the latter with Chris Botti). Good to hear from you.

    Rab,

    Still dip in to the site regularly although god knows, I try not to…good pics on Loch Lomond by the way, my eldest son spends a lot of time there working as an outdoor instructor for Glasgow council.
    Enjoy the reviews from the band, reminds me somewhat of our own exploits down here, still playing blues and we’re all 60+ !..sadly, we don’t seem to attract good looking females like you lot despite our best efforts.
    Reason for contact is really about finding the latest incarnation of TBN website, have you seen it ?…assume you must have, any thoughts/opinions or is it yet another false dawn for old fans ?
    Final point, any idea on where I could get hold of the CD Quiet City done by Nigel Thomas, the early TBN drummer ?..my copy not in the best of health due to spillage accident with small grandson, still manages to play the track Due North, for me, one of the best things PB has done. The CD was deleted some years ago and it never managed to get on iTunes as far as I know..any suggestions ?

    Regards,
    Terry.

    Terry,

    I’ll be in touch. I have the album somewhere and I’ll burn you a copy or upload it somewhere when I find it.

    TBN have had more false Dawns than Anne Summers! 8) Paul Buchanan is apparently not in the best of health or spirits at the moment so it’s back to wait and see……………
