john blackwell confirms participation on NEWS

i went to the drum clinic in auckland New zealand, last night and asked him while he was signing his page in the ONA booklet.

its amazing seeing him perorm 20 minute drum solos in a cathedral, its the closest ill get to seeing the NPG, i love the way he twirls those sticks.

my friend works for radio and interviewed john, ill be getting a cd copy of the interview and sounboard copy of the show, he answered loads of questions but couldnt talk much about prince

John sure is getting around a lot these days, isn't he? Where exactly did Prince find him?

I wouldn't.

At the same time however, I probably wouldn't be interested in hearing NEWS if Blackwell wasn't on it.

Most certainly, but for the majority of people he would have to come up with
music of his own, to display his talents - which is on his to-do list. smile

Yeah, U're right, had a great time!

I think he even converted the non Prince listeners, they were shocked at how great he was. smile
