Recent stuff includes Dave working with Ingo on David Bowie as you've already spotted.... he's also working with a band called Minty and on various other remix projects with Ingo. I'm currently involved with Joe Strummer, formerly of The Clash, on a collaborative project called Radar. We've recently been to LA to work on a Disney movie called 'Grosse Point Blank' which stars John Cusack, Dan Ackroyd and Minnie Driver. There's a number of Clash tracks and a couple of our new tracks in the film, which is currently at rough cut stage. I've also been working with Black Grape on a song for the England Euro '96 soccer championships called 'England's Irie'. This comes out on an album called 'The Beautiful Game' on RCA UK on May 20th, followed by a single on June 10th on Radioactive UK, which includes a remix I did a couple of weeks ago in LA. Future Grid plans are cloudy at the moment - we've recorded a load of new stuff but are taking a sabbatical. The furthest we've got to collaborating lately is going out down the pub and getting right off it. Still future stuff will happen no doubt... I haven't got an Internet site but will get back to you some time. I'm sitting in the Spider Cafe in Portobello Rd, Ladbroke Grove W10 at six o'clock on a Sunday (http://www.channel...spider/search.html) with Dave 'POCKETS' Girvan, David Nixon and Mew from Heave and my girlfriend Liz just chillin'. Best wishes and thanks a lot, Richard Norris The Grid
