MUSIC OMH: an interview with FrYrs, king of “electronic-tinged chamber pop”
“I feel like I’ve been doing this for ages but really I’ve only played two gigs and put out a four-track CD which isn’t a lot,” he chuckles. “There hasn’t been any über-hype yet thankfully… just a few strange pieces here and there.” Are there any in particular that spring to mind?
How the old media works. A song for the missing:
“Hmm, well I definitely didn’t expect to have articles about me in the Daily Star and the Daily Mail. The Star just wanted to ask me about my song Madeline which was out during the height of the Madeleine McCann publicity. It was written a long time before that happened and was not at all about it but the writer still managed to make half of the piece about it,” Garrett laughs again.
“Thankfully there wasn’t a huge storm about it - I don’t really want to be famous through stuff like that - but I don’t mind my music being mentioned in tabloids at all. Hopefully that means it will reach out to more people.”
And grab them by the throat…

@ June
If you are in mail-contact with chenier, would you please send her my best wishes and tell her I miss laughing about Mr. Clarrie (police style conference, long ago) with her?
Thank you!

I can’t see how any news concerning a missing child can be described as ‘really very nice’ whatever it is?
January 8th, 2009 at 11:05 pm
I suspect we all became arguidos, with the right of keeping our mouths.
We are not saying much, aren’t we?
There is news but I’m not telling it.
Really very nice.

Hello, I would give my right arm to live in ANY stream at the moment - particularly one that was not stagnant like the economy is !! About the Ward of Court issue. Not sure but I think that this would have been done when the future of the parents stood in the balance and they had to make sure that if they were not around “for any reason” - then M’s intersts would be in the interest of the courts. Not sure about this, but I think that it could be the case. I would have thought that the W of C would have been recinded when the suspect status was removed from the parents - but maybe I am on the wrong tac altogether! Its late and I have had a few warming brandy tots!!

I think they made her a ward of court to restrict what the press wrote about MM.
And how come I’m freezing? I live in the the gulf stream.

Can anyone answer why a parent would make their child a WOC?

To get access to information held on the case by british police, apparently.

CoolandCalm don’t pity Karen for living is Scotland, it’s been much milder here than down in the freezing south and our neighbours in the south of France have had snow, so we’re feeling quite snug and smug here in the so-called frozen north. Just shows how people can wrongly interpret appearances, dig dig.
Sorry about baby LP, people should really stay strictly away from newborns at this time of year. Our first was born just before Christmas 30-odd years ago and we had to battle in-laws over just that issue. Still as you say it could toughen him up, hopefully. xx

Thank you Totje, but I missed it. Can anyone answer why a parent would make their child a WOC?
January 7th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
PS : Coco, I still think Amaral failed imo
January 7th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
Hi all,
Though interesting, I think we discussed it months ago. May be C&C remembers it more detailed as I do?
Night all…

January 7th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
I am interested who or what organization might react to recent publications.
Moderator- Lola I have asked and
‘Ward Of Court
In the UK, a child whose guardian is the High Court. Any person may, by issuing proceedings, make the High Court guardian of any child within its jurisdiction. No important step in the child’s life can then be taken without the court’s leave.’
January 7th, 2009 at 6:53 pm
Moderator…. when you get the answer to Lola’s question can you let us all know? ta.
January 7th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
I would think that if its about the child personally then the court would deal with it, if its about the parents then the parents would take their own action?
A lot of stuff that has gone on behind the scenes with Madeleine as a WOC has never made it into the public domain and won’t as she is also a child.
January 7th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
Some info please - if a child is a ward of court and there is something questionable in a publication, does the court sue or do the parents of the child?
Moderator - have asked the legal dept

It’s global warming….my arse!

Just been checking the news and Padstow, Poole and Bristol harbours are all frozen, at Poole the sea is frozen for twenty yards out
January 7th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
Afternoon……….
Yes its freezing. Karen, I am so grateful I’m down south, don’t think I would survive living up the top. I have the heating on so high everyone complains. Guess its cos I was brought up close to the equator?
LP best wishes to the little squab.. hope he’s soon okay.
June… best wishes also to Chenier if you are in contact.
Winters a bitch for ill-health. I’ve had the flu jab and have fingers crossed.
BF…. don’t we all wish life was like Little House on the Prairie? So cute.
Till later………

Good to see some familiar names cropping up - I wonder what 2009 will bring us all on this forum - hopefully some good news and plenty to discuss - The silence of them is very damning in my opinion - I wonder how much protection - In the form of lawyers etc. they are still maintaining, and why - if they are innocent might they still think they need them ?
January 7th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Thanks Karen/June
He’s defintely on the mend. Poor little blighter didn’t stand a chance over xmas - everyone who came to see him had the lurgy even if they didn’t realise it themselves at the time. Anyway, it will make him stronger as they say and soon he’ll be out and about kicking a fooball and throwing his rugby ball..well in a couple of years or so
January 7th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Lone
Hope the baby gets well soon.

Coolandcalm
I’m freezing too. I have to go back to the family home to sleep because we can’t afford the heating… pity us…
