I had the pleasure of spending Thursday afternoon in the company of Bill, Theo Travis, Dave Sturt, John Spence, Ian Haydock and Elliot Nelson at Fairview Studios...
I don't want to give too much away at the moment, but for those of you who have enjoyed the Orchestra Futura performances over the years, hopefully there will be a little treat coming your way sometime soon...
Keep your eye on news updates over the coming weeks/months.

Hopefully this Friday (17th January), Bill will be the guest on Ian Gregson's show on the internet radio station House Of Prog.
Due to be aired at 8pm UK time, Ian gave Bill a call to chat about his career.
If you miss the show, I will hopefully be putting the interview on Dreamsville in the near future.

Bill's annual Christmas video is now available to watch on his YouTube channel...
Bill Nelson Christmas Video 2024
A single image accompanies this year's track, entitled 'A Christmas Garland', unfortunately Bill's deteriorating eyesight is making it increasingly difficult to operate his video editing software.
Check out the Essoldo Cinema here in Dreamsville for all Bill's videos...

It has been brought to my attention that there are fake copies of Bill's CDs being sold on eBay!
We saw this a couple of years ago with fake copies of 'Custom Deluxe', the same is happening again now with fake copies of 'Dreamland To Starboard'.
Please be aware and proceed with caution if you are looking to fill gaps in your Bill Nelson collection!

The postman brought me a nice present this morning - this one is a belter and I'm sure it will be a popular album with Bill's fans.
Official release date is next Friday, 3rd November so those who have pre-ordered should start receiving them towards the end of next week.
