Back again after another long absence.
For those of you who wonder
what some of the rarer Fiat Lux songs sound like, now is your chance
(be it briefly) to hear 'I'm Sure She Will'. It was played on
yesterday's Liz Kershaw's show on BBC 6 Music -
click here to go to the BBC iPlayer (forward to @1hr 38mins 20
secs in). This song was recorded for a Janice Long Session back in
1984/5 just prior to the band splitting but was never officially
released. It should be on-line for a week or so.
Much thanks to producer Adam Hudson at BBC 6 Music for making me
aware of the airing.

After a long while, I'm back and looking to spend more time getting
this site up to date. Some of which has been down to an unfortunate
set of circumstances beyond my control involving my old hosting
company, I am pleased to say that I have moved company.
Sorry to anyone who has e-mailed me over the last year and got little
or no reply. Normal service will be resumed soon.

It was only a matter of time before Fiat Lux videos made their way
onto YouTube.
The rarely seen Secrets video (or most of it) is on there - thanks to
my band source for letting me know about that.
Also Greer Compston in NZ has uploaded both the Blue Emotion clip from
the German TV programme 'Musik Laden' as well as the first part of the
Commercial Breakdown video - thanks Greer.
At the moment I've added these to the Links
page under 'YouTube Video Links'.

Sources close to Fiat Lux have given us all a glimmer of hope that
their material might at some point see the light of day on CD. Word is
'initial talks are taking place between Polydor and Splidian
Productions on the possibilities for leasing tapes of the old
material'. Fingers crossed.
Information will be posted here if there are any future developments.
