Bry's a cool customer.
My old mam always said he was "dishy."
I'm a bit of a Roxy fan too.
"Come on ... come on ... let's get stuck up each other"
(As I used to sing to Wendy, that top-heavy barmaid that used to work in the Dog & Biscuit)

I tell you what - if Bryan had been my English teacher then I would have gotten myself a degree aged 12!! I adored him back in the day but he is a sad pastiche of his old self now with girlfriend a fraction of his age and awful Just For Men hair. I am also not amused that he is Pro Hunting and actively supports his yobbo son who delights in beating up hunt sabs. m0918 I'll leave Bryan Ferry consigned to the past thanks.  |

His voice has gone now too alas. I saw Roxy Music in Manchester when they reformed (2000 or 2001 not sure now) one of the best nights ever, but his voice on Jools Holland just a couple of years later was extremely poor

To each his own Aaron luv. There are loads of loads of singers and groups I loathe that others like, and vice versa.  |

Can't stand that hooray henry son of his, Otis - bet he hates to be reminded that his dad's from what was a pit village (Washington) and his granddad was a farm labourer who also used to look after the pit ponies, ULTRA working class lol! Otis just seems such an annoying, snobby oik and if I knew him I'd remind him of this fact every minute of every day just to piss him off lol!
No doubt about it Bryan Ferry did well for himself considering his background, he was obviously intelligent and ended up going to Newcastle Uni etc, quite a feat for a young, working class lad from the deep north east in the 60s. I know Washington, it's OK now (like e.g. Basildon it had money thrown at it, it expanded massively and became a 'new town') but back then it still had the 'getting above himself, what's wrong with doing what your dad did?' attitude so good for him and his family for encouraging him to get out.
Lovely looking man when he was young and he's still quite suave now (agree with escargot though with the cliché of much younger women free-rolleye-smileys-323 ) but I've always found his music a bit hit and miss and often, dare I say it, boring. Like Bowie I prefer his early stuff (70's, early 80's).

Bryan married some posh tart, lady something-or-another Fffinchington-Ponsonby-Smythe-Bus-Stop-Ftang-Olé-biscuit-Barrell. thats why his kids grew into Hoorays. |

I met Otis once at one of Bryans gigs...
He seemed a thoroughly decent chap...
I got my photo took with him...

I'll take the word of someone who's actually met him over what they put in the papers any day! Have you been to many Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music gigs Charley? Just four but all fairly recent (in the last 20 years)... None from back in the day but my eldest brother saw him a few times in the late 70s & early 80s...
In fact he (my brother) used to go to a night club in town called Pips... It had a Roxy/Bowie Room plus others... It was the place to be if you liked that sort of music... I was a tad too young as it shut down before I was old enough to get into nightclubs...
There's an urban myth that done the rounds that BF got turned away from the door at Pips because he was wearing jeans... When he told them who he was, the bouncer looked at him and said "yeah... right... There's another 200 inside who all claim the same but they are wearing trousers..." And sent him on his way...
Here's a link to a site about it... It also mentions BF being turned away... pubs-of-manchester.blogspot.co.uk/2010/07/pips-fennel-street.html

ROFL!!!! The thought of Bryan Ferry getting turned away from the door smileys-multiple-smileys-651015 I wonder if he took it in good humour or was outraged lol!
The club sounds rather good, I'd have had liked to go there myself! Sounds exciting.
Is he good live?
My favourite Ferry songs are: Let's Stick Together, Love Is The Drug, Oh Yeah and Dance Away.

All of them songs Lots are favourites of mine... I also like Jealous Guy, Slave to Love & Avalon... My brother likes some proper obscure stuff that he has tried to get me to listen to but it just ain't working...
He's really good live and the last time I saw him I was only three rows back from the front and he was running around like a mad man... Playing all the instruments and still singing too...
At my first ever concert, at the end he asked for people to shout for his last song... I was up in the Gods at the Manchester Arena and everyone starts shouting... I shouted OH YEAH... And everyone around me was saying no... that's shit... But I continued to shout and then this started up...
Everyone groaned but I was happy as fook... I'd like to think it was me that got him to play that song that night but in reality he probably already had it cued up... Plus the fact I was miles away...
Happy days...
