Hi all!
Well, the new
year has fallen upon us. As I sit here in this cell in Newgate Prison
cursing King, country and Cromwell (and my fading powers of
alliteration) I start to think my split personality may need addressing
before they start charging me twice to enter gigs and football grounds!
The Freeborn John Beautful Days Live is mixed, finished indeed, by the
Executioner in record time. Mr P. Johnstone deserves plaudits or
garlands or some such for this may be his finest yet. The pictures are
being edited now and once combined the DVD should truly reveal how old
yet beautiful we all are in technicolour. You, the great and good of
the shires, can then come safely out of hiding and take up your lives
of debauchery and criminality once more whilst shouting "We told you
so, have faith the old gits have pulled it off (ouch) again!" to anyone
drunk enough to listen.
I will let you know the release date in due course.
I thank you all,
Revvie xxx

Dear All,
Time for a small update.
Freeborn John Live at Beautiful Days CD and DVD is oh so near
completion that you can smell it...ooer doesn't the 17th Century smell
wonderful ... all those strange diseases. We have included photos sent
in by many of you, and shall be contacting you soon to ask for official
permission to use liberally and with no charge !
On the Live
front, I shall be venturing out with three of the Leveller toads for
five Drunk in Public shows in the 3rd week of May. Full listings,
tickets etc. are listed below.
Love to you
all, hope to see you in the merry month of May.

Post-Freeborn
John Tour
Good day
to you all, well we did it, we got by with a little help from our
friends. We finally got The Freeborn John touring circus rolling and
had some wonderful nights in some beautiful venues.
Thank
yous to all the ticket buyers, the street hawkers and the breakfast
fryers…… the bus drivers and the sky divers, the Bishop and all the
clergy. The re- enactors, those that came by cart and those that came
by tractors…. those that spent their time backstage in the company of
Max Factor. To all the many splendid musicians: Phil and Harry who've
trodden every stone with me since 1996. Jon, Mark and Simon, Levellers
in the best tradition, Dave B., Justin, Nelson, Michael and Dean, the
best band we ever had. Maddy and Rose… a Maddy and Rose amongst thorns.
Rory and his story. Tommy Tee for the cakes, Paul Harvey for listening,
Matt who lit up our world. Laura Farrow for not panicking under fire,
Dave Farrow for not firing under panic and all The Freeborn people who
stepped forward to sing Bonnie Besses, you know who you are Rose and Jo
et al.
Now, if
you have photos we need 'em. Please e mail 'em to the webmeister.
The Lost
Songs or indeed the New Ones: Every Woman's Pain and Lowlands of
Holland will go up on myspace very soon so you can download and be
complete in your Freeborness.
Once
Again, Thank You.
