<Doris>You are a
bit early folks, Martin will log in in about 10 minutes.
Well Martin, whenever you're ready let us know.
<Martin> Hi guys,
how are you?
<Doris> Hey,
so glad to see you. We are fine, hope this will be great.
<Martin> How
is the weather?
<Doris> Looks
great.
<Tim> Hi,
how are you? Internet is a crazy thing.
<Martin> How
is Ingrid doing? Hi Tim, nice to meet you, where are you
from?
<Tim> So
what do you think about this chatroom, Martin? I'm from
Bielefeld, Germany, do you know it?
<Martin>
Tim must
have gone but this is fab.
<Maike> Hi
there, I'm early too.
<Doris>
So if nobody
has a question we will start, how was the filming for
'The Bill'?
<Nicole> Hello,
I'm Nicole from Holland.
<Maryam> Mr
Kemp, is Gary doing anything special now?
<Martin> It was
really good, it was the first time I have ever done this
show and it was fun.The chatroom is going to be great, I
will be here a lot more often, so always try it out. Gary
is making some music for a couple of movies and he's in
the middle of writing a musical for the stage.
<Maike> What
show did you do, I'm not up to date.
<Martin> Hi
Maike, how are you?
<Maryam> I
see, so there is no new album?
<Martin>
I did a show
in England called 'The Bill'.
<Tim> Martin,
who will win the world championship? (sorry girls)
<Martin> Arsenal
will win the league, Tim, but England will do fine at the
championships. I don't know if Gary has any plans for an
album but the songs are fab as you can imagine.
<Esther> Martin,
I come from Barcelona and I have been in some of the
concerts you gave there. What do you think of Spanish
audiences?
<Martin> I
think the Spanish fans are fantastic, all the latin
countries are superb. I love Barcelona, how is the
weather and have you seen Steve Norman anywhere?
<Marianne/Sandra> Hi
Martin, Sandra and Marianne from Holland welcomes you
all.
<Barb> Good
afternoon from the States - hi Martin.
<Martin> Hi
Barb, where are you from?
<Barb> I'm
from Maryland, right outside DC.
<Marianne/Sandra> Martin,
when can we see you on Dutch tv, we miss you too.
<Martin> Doris
and Ingrid tell me that a couple of my films have been on
Dutch tv but I have to say that they were the dodgy ones.
<Britta> Hi
Mr Kemp, how are you?
<Martin> I'm really
well.....a little bit drunk from after lunch, but apart
from that really well!
<Gold> Hi
Martin
<Martin> Hi
Gold, what's your name?
<Gold> Martin, I'm
Daniele, Arben's friend who helped him create the Spandau
site :)
<Martin> Yes,
I have been there quite a few times, it has really grown.
Where is Arben?
<Maryam> I
am doing some translation for it from Italian, hope we
can finish it soon. Have u tried his chatroom, it is
cool!
<Esther> I'm
also doing the Spanish translation for Arben's homepage.
<Sapphire> Hi
Martin, I just wanted to say that I thought you were
great when you were with Spandau Ballet and I've been
following your career since and I still think you are
great.
<Martin> Hi
Britta nice to have you on the site...got any questions
you wanna ask?
<Maryam> Have
u tried his chatroom, it is cool!
<Martin> Sandra
and Mariam....How are you...excuse my spelling
<Nicole> Hello
Mr. Kemp, this chatroom is great !!!
<Marianne/Sandra> It's
Marianne love, but I"ll forgive you. Thanks for your
lovely email to me about Tony's site, I really loved it.
<Martin> I
haven't tried his chat room but I will see you all there
at the same time tomorrow if you want?
<
Gold> Martin, are
there any unreleased songs and demos? Will they ever be
released?
<Tim> To
everyone: where and when was the first Spandau gig in
Germany? - so Martin let us know ...
<Maryam> What
was your favourite song(s) from Spandau?
<Martin> Hi
Gold...There are some unreleased demos that no one has
ever heard...That's a good idea about getting them
released....maybe I should follow that up
<Doris> By
the way, sorry Mart, this has nothing to do with you, but
maybe all Spandau fans from Belgium and Holland would
like to know that Tony is playing in Leuven next Thursday
... but hey, you are invited too!!!
<Marianne/Sandra> Hi
Martin, what are you doing at the moment, apart from
chatting with us?
<Gold>
I think the fans would love to hear those tracks, Martin.
It would be like hearing new songs.
<Nicole> Martin,
is Spandau ever thinking of giving a concert again in the
future ?
<Maryam> What
is your favourite song(s) of Spandau?
<Maike> Martin,
I would be particularily(how do you write this???)
interested in the last song Spandau has recorded,
"The Boxer".
<Doris> Yes,
yes ,yes, get those demos released ... and if we only
sell them via the club, that's no problem!!!
<Martin> Marrianne..I
am working hard trying to get my own projects off the
ground...I will be able to tell you more very
shortly....but I am superstitious and hate talking about
things before there are definite
<Gold> Have you
ever been to Canada, Martin?
<Martin> Nicole...There
is nothing I would rather do than to play again with the
band on stage..but there are a few things stopping us
doing that at the moment.
<Maike> Barb,
I heard you can buy "Magic Hunter" one of
Gary´s films in the US, which to my knowledge is still
not for sale in Europe...
<Maryam>
Yes, Magic Hunter is around, except it is in Southern
California.
<Martin> Marryanne...My
fav song of all time was Through the barricades...and I
never could spell that word.
<Esther> Martin,
I hate to ask this but, what are those things to stop you
to play again together as a band?
<Gold> Before
I forget, I'd like to say thank you to the peopel who
made this chat possible!
<Martin> Gold
..Only when we toured there
<Maryam> U
spelled my name wrong, forgiven
<Marianne/Sandra> Martin.
I understand, Tony's got the same superstitious habits.
Onother one than, what is you all time favourite film ?
And your favourite film that you were in ??
<Maike> Esther,
you are right, everybody wants to know that but nobody
dares to ask this question!
<Nicole> Martin,
we dont hear much of Shirley lately, how is she doing ?
<Martin> Esther...There
are a few legal problems
<Doris> Do
you still play some music with friends some times, just
for fun?
<Martin> Sandra...My
fav film is...ragging bull and the best movie I have done
is the Krays
<Maryam> My
friend and I watch the Krays a lot, cool film, u should
do more films with Gary.
<Martin> Nicole..Shirlie
works on the George Michael site...WWW.aegean.net...It's
a great site
<Maike> Martin,
do you practice playing guitar/bass still regularily, or
is this something that you never forget???
<Barb> I
just watched the Krays last night, and yes, you &
Gary made for a powerful duo!!
<Esther> You
know something, Martin? I never thought you looked like
your brother till I saw The Krays. You two were superb!!!
<Doris> That's
a good idea, a film with you and Gary together would be
great, especially if it's a fantastic film like The Krays
<Marianne/Sandra> Martin
do you think you will ever do a film together with your
brother again?
<Martin> Maike...A
bass guitar isn't something you practise if your not in a
band...I need the others to get any real fun out of it
<Esther> Is
it true that Shirlie sang fot Wham?
<Martin> Marianne...I
would love to make a movie with Gary....In fact I would
love to work with Gary on anything
<Martin> Esther...Yes
Shirlie was there from the start.....Did you ever see
them in concert
<Maike> Martin,
you are right, we have a friend who plays bass guitar
while listening to some tapes, but is this real fun...?
<Doris> Did
you see the report about Wham's last concert in the
current 'Q'? The first time we saw Shirlie mentioned in
an article as Shirlie KEMP!!!
<Martin> I
still have all my guitars but at the moment they are
sadly in boxes
<Maike> Gabi,
where are you???I´m nearly convinced you are in the
wrong room..
<Martin> Doris...I
didn't see that...but it makes a change
<Martin> Who
knows where ARBEN is?...I have to go in a minute but it
has been fab speaking to you all..are there any more Qs
before I go?
<Gold> Martin,
do you have a most memorable concert?
<Doris> Hey
Maryam, we're hard at work on Gary's official site, it
will be on the net around the end of May
<Gold> I
don't know where Arben is, it's a shame that he wasn't
able to make it :( But I made a log of this chat and I
will e-mail it to him.
<Gold> I
think he'll be so sad that he missed you, Martin. How
about sending him an email? :) Or better yet, a phone
call! :)
<Marianne/Sandra> Yes,
I have another one, will you be back tomorrow or any
other day. If not we would like to thank you for this
lovely chat, it was fun and say hi to Shirlie and the
kids. A big fat kiss to you xxx
<Maike> Bye
Martin, it was great talking to you, see you soon,
wherever it will be!
<Esther> Thanks
for being here, Martin. It has been very special to see
you here.

<JK> ..have
lots of good pix and i will sort 'em out soon.....where's
Mart?'s Mart ...
<Tim> What
is a nutter?
<Gold> the
one thing I don't like about the Internet is you cannot
tell for sure who you are talking to :)
<Tim> So
J.K, we can locate your email ip-adress.
<JK> Really?
how nice.....
<Gold> Hi,
I'm really Benny Andersson from Abba. Did I miss anything
while I was gone? ;)
<JK> .......up
The Arse.....!
<Marianne/Sandra> Oh
sorry love, Martin did leave the building at 2100 UK
So this was
our very first of hopefully many chats with Martin ...
this transcript has been slightly edited because
unfortunately nobody saved the complete thing and we had
to put different sources together, we promise to get
better in the future. anyway, hope you had as much fun
reading everything as we had chatting!
Much to our
shame we probably have to add that the mysterious 'JK'
happened to be the real John Keeble ... the next surprise
visitor definitely will get the benefit of the doubt!
The last
words on this page belong to Martin, to give you an idea
how much Mart enjoyed this chat with his fans here is a
little message from him that leaves no questions open ...
"Hi
guys ... It was really nice talking to everyone last
night ... I haven't had that much fun for years ... I
hope my spelling was OK though ... it's not my best
subject ... I will be checking it every day to answer
more stuff and just to say hi."
