"Hi folks, it is again my duty to inform you of some happy and sad changes in the Mostly Autumn line up.
The sad bit....
Angela Gordon has left us to concentrate her time on being a dedicated mother and we wish her all the best and thank her for her tremendous dedication to the band over the last ten years. See her statement Below.
Chris Johnson has also decided to leave for various reasons (see statement below) although you may see him occasionally filling in on the live front. We thank him for his beautiful contributions to the Mostly autumn family. See his statement below.
We would also like to thank Andy Jennings for stepping in for the last tour, unfortunately due to commitments he is unable to commit to the next tour.
The happy bit.....
We are extremely pleased to announce the welcome return of...
Liam Davison on guitars.
Iain Jennings on keyboards (Barring the occasional gig due to former commitments).
Anne Marie Helder on keyboards, guitars, vocals and flute.
We would also like to welcome on board a fantastic new drummer by the name of Henry Bourn who is playing on the album as we speak.
Nothing stays the same but ROLL ON THE BIG SOUND.
Cheers,
Bryan Josh."
Angela Gordon commente :
"After much soul-searching I have decided that the time has come to bow-out of Mostly Autumn.
I offer my heartfelt thanks to the Mostly Autumn family, especially Bryan, Heather, Jean and Suzi, and to the fans whose support has been overwhelming, who have all made the last 10 years a fantastic adventure.
It was my intention to return to touring after the birth of my daughter, Scarlett but I could never have anticipated how my feelings would change. Although there are several reasons, ultimately, performing locally over the last few weeks has made me realise that being away from Scarlett to tour further afield is out of the question at this time.
I will however continue to perform locally, both solo and with the York ensemble, Garland Of Flutes, and have firm plans to record my debut album in September of this year. Mostly Autumn will always be very close to my heart and I have wonderful memories to take with me into the next chapter of my life.
Love and best wishes"
"Chris Johnson, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter with Mostly Autumn, has left the band devote more time on his own solo project. Chris, who also plays with ex-Marillion singer Fish, said:
âThis was a really hard decision to make; I was really excited about recording the new Mostly Autumn album but the desire to do my own record has always been there and it just wasnât going away. The encouragement and support of Bryan and Heather over the last two years has opened up new avenues in my song writing and finally given me the confidence go forward on my own.
âThis feels like the right time; my personal circumstances enable me to commit a lot of time this year to a solo album. To remain so creatively focused on Mostly Autumn would have been spreading myself too thinly, and MA isnât the kind of band where you can give less than 100%.
âIâm hoping to record my new record in breaks from touring with Fish. Most of the songs are written already, Iâm grabbing studio time wherever I can to get the demos recorded, and the emerging album already has me very excited!
âIâm documenting the whole process on my website; thereâs already a couple of rough mixes up there and Iâll be posting new songs as theyâre recorded. Iâm actually hoping that all sorts of stuff will find its way onto the site â new demos, old demos, live recordings, concert footage, remixes and one-mic-in-the-middle-of-the-room jams. Also, by committing to showing the entire process online everyone will know if I slack off!"
