'One Minute With Dec'
Since 1996
"My Emails Are Written With Good Humour And Should Be Read With A Smile"
[-The views of any contributor to 'One Minute with Dec' are not necessarily the views of Dec Cluskey-]
YEAR'S BEST HEADLINES: "Something Went Wrong in Jet Crash, Expert Says" [No, really?]
I had a sad call from Beth Sheridan to tell me that my career long friend Bernard Sheridan had died after quite a long fight against a debilitating illness.
Anyone in the music industry world wide will know the powerful legal organisation 'Sheridans' ... currently looking after mighty names, for instance Il Divo on their current world tour.
My band were one of the first clients of Bernard when he started back in the Sixties at 14 Red Lion Square. Then there was Tom Jones, Pink Flloyd, Kate Bush, Gerry Rafferty and almost the whole of the mega dosh making side of the Record Industry. Right in the middle of all The Beatles legal problems. A true friend, a great wine expert [I fooled him once with a really cheap bottle of wine at an excellent temperature!].
I am thrilled that the very last time he was out socially was to see my band in concert at Wimborne in Dorset. We had a fun dinner before the show and it was a joy to see that sparking, agile mind come to life ... the stories, the laughs, the reminiscences.
We shall miss you, Bernard.
"Police
Begin Campaign to Run Down Jaywalkers" [Now that's
taking things a bit far!]
The band to see? Il Divo
It was always said on the performing side of the Record Industry that the band to see and learn from was my band 'The Bachelors'.
Louis Walshe modeled his 'Boyzone' band on us and then there was Westlife.
Now, Simon Cowell has created the greatest musical phenomemon ever in history with Il Divo. I have said that Sheridans look after their legal affairs [as they did ours] but the four singers have taken all our techniques, methods and tricks and taken them to the next level. Stunning is the only word for them.
I saw them at Wembley last week and they were breathtaking. They were using tricks that Con and I had forgotten we used! I would advise anyone serious about our industry to get along to see their world tour ... if you can get a ticket! Buy their latest DVD. Get their 'Siempre' album. The first band to ever go straight to Number One in the USA album charts with their first album. 39 Number Ones through the World and 133 gold and platinum awards, all in three years - unbelievable! Could you learn from them? You bet.

Already
the excitement grows!
[ slight
hold up but launching this week ]
I am really excited about my latest book being released this week. so many of the members of 'Serious Writers Guild' have called me.
We had a slight hold up at the printers but now we are ready to go. "So You're thinking Of Recording Guitar" is set to unlock all the closely guarded secrets of the mega guitar band producers. With the avalanche of guitar based bands around the world this will be an important tool in your armoury, as, that all important monster guitar sound, whether acoustic or electric, will be so important.
Stand by for the announcement.

Section [Where
can I find great drum sounds?]
Hi Dec
One of the country's most respected new music radio DJs has heard a handful of my home demos and has approached me offering help getting the music heard by her radio and music industry contacts.
I am putting together several new recordings. I agree with your advice about drum tracks - the drums are often the thing that most lets inexpensive recordings down. So I want something that sounds like a live drummer on an acoustic kit - but I want to retain control over the drum patterns, I want the performance to be really tight (i.e. sequenced) and I want the best possible sounds...
Where can I find such sounds?P.S. to give you a better idea of what I am about, please listen to my tune 'Gotta Have A Lotta Love' at www.myspace.com/theadmireables

The gags: ..... Willie
at it again! [ slightly
rude? ]
"This is a special day for me too, I am
also celebrating!" says the woman.
"What a coincidence!" says the farmer.
As
they clinked glasses the farmer asked "What are you celebrating?"
"My husband and I have been trying to have a child and today my
gynecologist told me that I am pregnant!"
"What a coincidence" says the man. "I'm a chicken farmer and for years all of my hens were infertile, but today they are all laying fertilized eggs "
"That's
great!" says the woman, "How did your chickens become fertile?"
"I used a different cock," he replied.
The
woman smiled and said, "What a coincidence!"
