dear Matt,
this is Richard norris from the grid saying hello and thank you for your 
support on your "Unofficial" site.

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
