You all stand there with your insignificant lifes and have the cheek to criticise what you yourselves have never even dared doing. I can understand why Terry turned his back on the popular scene, because he was tired of this British 'anal'itical approach about what is fair or not fair.<BR/><BR/>It does not surprise me that most of your own singers end up emigrating to America, where they are spared this 'British' b*****t.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258459.post-16099523998982438332007-10-11T19:01:00.000+01:002007-10-11T19:01:00.000+01:00thought that Nick’s blog entry was fair comment, e...thought that Nick’s blog entry was fair comment, even if you don’t agree with him (and some people didn’t, as the comments posted on the blog indicate). I can understand that Terry was a bit disappointed to read it. My own opinion was that there were too many Elvis numbers, but I knew what to expect, having seen the rehearsal; and I can understand that expanding his on-stage time from around a 15-20 minute set to over 90 minutes meant having to build up a repertoire very quickly. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Terry has a good voice and a good stage presence, and I think most of the punters at the 100 Club really enjoyed the evening. A suggestion that a more “rockabilly” band with a stand up bass might suit him better is probably valid. I’m sure Terry will have loads of success if he is booked into the right venues. He doesn’t have to rely on people who remember him from the first time around; he just needs an audience that enjoys some good rockabilly.<BR/><BR/>AlanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258459.post-50114136845352966022007-10-11T12:42:00.000+01:002007-10-11T12:42:00.000+01:00Unforgiving?!

Terry is a singer, the only thing the MEDIA really should address is his voice.<BR/><BR/>A singer is not supposed to be a saint, he is not professing good behaviour or moral ethics; he either has or not a good voice!<BR/><BR/>Quoting from Ivan Beavis' article of 3 October 2007: 'Every would be star would climb on to the tiny stage to strut their stuff but when Terry Dene got up with his strong voice, stage presence and sultry good looks, he blew most of his contemporaries away.' <BR/><BR/>Let's stick to the subject here, Nick: this article isn't about the MEDIA, what they may or may not have thought about his personal life choices 50 odd years ago when he was a kid or about whether you agree with them or find them even interesting! This article is about Terry now, Terry's real ability as a singer which is now just as outstanding as it was then, if in fact not more.<BR/><BR/>If your articles can't stick to the point or have no point to make, then please quit writing.<BR/><BR/>Thanks John. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work and let us know when's the next gig.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258459.post-6994956648336281762007-10-11T08:10:00.000+01:002007-10-11T08:10:00.000+01:00Thanks for comments.
