Hello Everyone,
We are just back from our shows in Singapore, and the Philipinnes. Every show was packed to the rafters and beyond of course! Now we have a day to rest up before Toole, Utah and Cache Creek in California. We have made the long flight so many times, but you really never get used to it - it always knocks you around!
The site now has been updated and we have made the buttons on the each page more user friendly, so check them out for us! We are still getting incredible reviews for the new album, and I have heard unofficially that the new single will be "Faith in love". I'm sure you have been following the live shows on YouTube, they are posted before we get back from the hotel, quite interesting!
That's all for now, see you at the shows.
Love, G and R

Hello Everyone,
Thank you for making "Dance With Me" a hit, as you know it is in the top 30 already and on some charts even in the top 10! We are so thrilled to be in the charts again after so long. It is a great birthday and anniversary present!
Speaking of our 35th anniversary, we have an idea for a fan gathering and want to see what you think about it before we go ahead with the plans! We are thinking of Orlando, Florida in October as we will be performing on the 11th and 12th and will be arriving on the 10th. Orlando is a place with a lot to do, but we need your ideas too to make it a great gathering.
For those that would consider attending such a gathering, please email us at 'airsupplyandyou@gmail.com'
It could be a great meet with everyone, but we need to know who may be interested, so please email us as soon as possible with your interest (deadline June 30, 2010), so we can reserve facilities and hotels.
Thanks and we look forward to seeing you in Orlando and at the shows.
Love, Graham & Russell

Hi everyone,
Happy Easter greetings to you all. On march 25th I was lucky enough to see one of my favourite artists 'live' in a very unique environment and I would like to share my impressions of the show and also the amazing city where it took place. First of all the city was one I have wanted to visit for many years and it was extra special for me as I was not working so could explore without really having time constraints. The city was Berlin, Germany. I am sure many of you have been here before, but I get very excited seeing a new place, especially one with so much history. It is hard not to be overwhelmed standing in front of the Brandenburg gate that has been such a landmark over the last two centuries and especially during the rise and fall of the third Reich.
In fact all of the famous and infamous places that we have all seen on countless films and documentaries are still there, larger than life, from Gestapo HQ, to the extraordinary Jewish Memorial just past the new and futuristic Potsdamer Platz that borders the beautiful Tier Garten, under which thousands of allied and German soldiers lie buried under the myriad of Spring flowers that were just peeking through into a modern world. I found Berlin to be a young city, full of extremely friendly people that were eager to help visitors any way they could. They are very proud of their city that is certainly rising from the ashes very quickly. The architecture is straight out of the next century alongside the more traditional buildings that are all under renovation and together they are most striking. I actually did take the underground rail too and found it to be very modern, extremely clean and easy to navigate. I found out later that it is supposed to be one of the best in Europe, and that does not surprise me. Berlin is a city that loves life, great restaurants and a passion for the future. It was difficult finding an Indian restaurant however, they love the meat and two veg!
What I did find was a great choice of organic and green foods. They are very into health and fitness, walking and cycling . I only saw one overweight person during my brief stay, that was very refreshing in a world of couch potatoes. If you are planning a trip, try Berlin, you will love it. I shall certainly return and explore further, I hope we are able to play there in the future too!
Now to the reason I was there, to see Peter Gabriel live with just an orchestra. If you have not got his new album, "Scratch My Back" do get it, it is amazing! The songs are all cover songs which is rare for Gabriel but the sounds make it all make sense. As usual the production was immense, the lights outrageous and the atmosphere electric. The extremely large symphony orchestra sounded out of this world, every section was crystal clear through the enormous sound system in the 20,000 seat O2-Arena. Peter's voice sounded just like the record, flawless and intoxicating. It was strange to see him just in one place the whole evening however and I did miss him playing piano. He played all of the new cd without ever acknowledging the audience, which for me was strange, but it was more of a listening experience than a visual one. The crowd were very receptive to the new "vibe" but it wasn’t until the encore and Solsbury Hill that they really got excited. By then the show was almost over!
The two backing vocalists, one being his daughter Melanie were good, but looked uncomfortable most of the night, looking at Peter constantly for cues and he at them for the same reason it seemed! After all it is a new show! The young conductor of the orchestra was for me the star of the evening. He was riveting to watch and he commanded his player's every note. To see Peter Gabriel live is always an event, if you are able go and see this show, it was an unforgettable experience.
Cheers G

Hi Everyone,
It is very rare that we have to be the bearer of bad news, but everything happens for a reason! We have just had to cancel the cruise that would have been in celebration of our 35th anniversary. The reason being that we did not get the response we needed to fill the rooms that we needed to fill in order for it to be just us and Airheads on the ship. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience to those that did plan on joining us, we were really very excited about it!
We are now coming up with different ideas for another event, but as yet have not decided on what it may be. We will of course keep you posted as we will be celebrating this year in one form or another, and we hope you can still be with us. Thank you for your patience, and support.
With love, R and G
