| tour update | ||
| Robert and Chris now have three concerts under their
belt, and all have been of a very high standard, with Robert in superb voice and Chris blowing everybody's minds with his tremendous
playing. Some of the tour highlights so far include "Wasting My Time",
"Move It", "A Mess O' Blues", "If This Is Wrong",
"Wild Wild Women" (with Robert singing!), "Playing For
Keeps" and "Walk On By". All concerts so far have been very well attended, with around 200 fans in Esbjerg, almost 300 in Uppsala and 350+ in Lund. The crowds have been very enthusiastic, and Robert and Chris really appreciate the fact that the show is so well received. After concerts they have talked to fans, signed autographs, and so on. The two Climate Control CD's are hot items, and we are now rationing them to make sure that we will have them the whole tour. Robert and Chris have been doing various interviews, and they will do one for Swedish radio today (sunday) and one for Norwegian radio tomorrow. On to the Rock Bottom in Oslo (update: 01/29 |

| r.g. and chris in helmond on february 5th | ||
| We were informed that Plato in Helmond is experiencing severe management problems, which has resulted in the non-promotion and cancellation of several concerts in recent
months. The concert will therefore now take place at Muziekcafé
Helmond, Zuid Koninginnewal 39 in Helmond. Telephone: 0031 (0) 492-536880. Website: www.muziekcafe-helmond.com This is definitely a plus for the fans, as it's the type of intimate location that always seems to bring out the best in the band. So remember to write it in your calendar: Sunday, February 5th - Robert Gordon and Chris Spedding at Muziekcafé Helmond! (Update: 01/21) |

| link wray tribute, january 15 - 2006 | ||
| You will find a review of the Link Wray tribute by clicking here. The article was written by Bruce Davis, whose association with Robert dates back to the early sixties. Bruce was the drummer in the Confidentials and the Newports, Robert's first two bands. You will also find some photos in the gallery section, courtesy of Bruce. He is still recovering from a bad car accident, so we really appreciate the fact that he took the time and effort to write the article for us and send us the photos. Bruce, thanks man!
