| UK tour ends premature 14-04-2005 |
|
The
Glitz Blitz and ’70 hits tour with A.S. Sweet and Sailor has come to a
premature end. Rumour goes
that there hasn’t been enough publicity to get full venues. Only the
‘die-hard’ fans knew about this tour. It’s a pity for the three
bands because they enjoyed playing together. |
| Finally a live DVD available 03-03-2005 |
| Some
websites have mentioned that there will be a live DVD of the Rubettes
feat. Alan Williams. Of course we wanted to know all the details so we
have asked Alan for a confirmation of these messages. And it’s true!
It’s taken from live appearances in Belgium and Germany. It is only
available on the tour at the moment but will soon be available from
rubettes.com or by Euro cheque from alanwilliams-rubettes.com.fr |

Dutch tour comes to an end 05-12-2004 |
| Last Thursday, December 2nd, the Rubettes and Sailor tour trough Holland ended. This tour has been a success for both the bands. In every theatre the audience received them with great enthusiasm. After every show both Sailor and the Rubettes took time to spend with their fans. During all the shows we have made pictures which we will publish on this website as soon as possible. We also have made a tour diary of which the English translation will be a little bit later on line. Just be patient. You may find the diary under the reviews button. |

Rubettes in Dutch knowledge quiz 20-06-2004 |
|
On
June 17th 2004
the last question in a Dutch knowledge quiz was about the Rubettes. They
showed a piece of video recorded ‘Sugar Baby Love’ at a recent gig
in Egmond aan Zee and from a show from 1974. De quizmaster asked: “It’s
obvious, this song is called Sugar Baby Love. But are the two of you old
enough to know the name of this ever lasting band?” The
contestants are in their early thirties which was obviously not old
enough because they had to consult a pop encyclopaedia.

little bit more of your patience. |
