Have had a huge problem with Outlook crashing. This has been sorted now, although my emails have gone. So, if anyone's waiting for a reply to an email please resend as the original is probably in the ether!!! Also, if anyone sent me pictures from the last tour, please resend these as well and they'll go straight up on the site.

Nigel will be guesting for Saxon at the Wacken Open Air Festival, 7th August 2004, performing 747 Strangers in the Night.

This will be the first time that Nigel has played with Saxon since the injury in 1998 - it promises to be a great day.

21/07/2004 - Message from Nigel:

Does anyone know the whereabouts of Graham Phillips - Nigel's trying to find him - he was the singer in "Shadowfax", one of Nigel's first bands back in Hove/Brighton. - the last time they met was in Oxford - Nigel was gigging there with Saxon and Graham, and his wife Val, came along. Having kept in touch by telephone and Christmas cards, they've since disappeared. The last Nigel knew was that Graham may have been working for the Parks/gardens dept in Milton Keynes. If anyone can help....??????

Nigel Ross-Scott ... Nigel has been located, we're in contact, and many, many thanks to Kelly Hooker at Kelna in Worthing, and Simon Osborne of Splash FM, also in Worthing.

19/05/2003 - Desperate Dan Band

New album, “Unplugged, Unhinged & Almost Live!”, released.

The following has been taken from the Dan Site:

“A conversation between Nigel Glockler and myself convinced me to go ahead. He put me in contact with sound engineer Stuart Cambell and the rest, as they say, is history. Stuart made an amazing job of recording the two sessions at T' Coconut and mixing it all. Along with Nigel (who very generously allowed us the use of the studio at No. 13) he has produced arguably the best thing we have done yet.

So those of you who have this album: please enjoy! and for those who have not: hurry up and get it!”
