Harry interview
Credit = McFly forum
It's going to be the first time you're going to perform in the Netherlands!
'Yes, that's right, it's our first show in the netherlands. We're virgins when it comes to performing for the dutch fans, ha ha'
How come you've never been here before?
I think, cause we've been so busy in England. We release a new cd every year, followed by one or even two tours. And ofcourse, lots of promotions.
But now we're ready for our 4th album, and we're about to tour in Europe.'
You've lots of fans here, did you know that?
'A little. We get lots of messages from European fans, especially from Holland.
We don't get it either, like you said, why we never performed there. But we'll make up for it this year! But we do understand we've got to start all over again. We're glad if there are 10 people in front of us when we're on stage.'
10? Harry, the show's sold out!
'Really!? That's cool! We've met some Dutch fans, they've been to our tour in England.'
You even have a fansite here, which knew you'd come here before it was even official!
'Weird, eh? Fans know often things we're about to do, before we know it ourselves! But it's always nice if fans can tell me where I have to be next week.'
How come you've never released a cd here?
Our old record label won't let us. But we left there a year ago. Now we have or own label and we can do what we want.'
Changed much?
The biggest change is that a record label contract you, and puts a lot of money in it, but that means they decide what's going on and what not.
We've always been friends, but it's good to do the things we want. Which means we can get more personal with our fans.'
What can we expect from your show?
'A lot, hopefully! We'll play our favourite songs in Paradiso. Its a show with lots of energy and we hope that from our fans too.
Like everyone jumping up and down on our music and being crazy.'
What do you expect from Amsterdam?
'No idea. I've never been there, but Amsterdam has a reputation. We can't wait till we get there and see it with our own eyes.'

Get Tom an Ivor Novello
This is a group set up on Facebook.
This is basically a campaign to get Tom Fletcher the Ivor Novello award he really deserves.
The prestigious Ivor Novello award celebrates excellence in composing and songwriting. It is awarded to those who have displayed an outstanding contribution to the British music industry, and as the writer/co-writer of 10 UK Number One Singles ( three more than Michael Jackson) by the time he was just 22 years old (seven of which have placed him, along with his band McFly, in the Number One spot) surely Tom comes under this category.
Ivor Novellos have previously been awarded to pop groups and singers such as The Spice Girls, Mika and Take That, so why not Tom, or indeed McFly as a whole? If you agree that this doesn't make sense, then Please, Please join this group and let's see if we can get Tom the award!
This group is also on Bebo and MySpace, join them when you have a minute:

Alternative One For The Radio lyrics
One For The Radio Alternative Lyrics
Here's another song for the radio!
Verse One
Life isn't fair
For the people who care
Stick your nose in the air
And that's how you go far
So go tell your lovers
Your fathers and brothers
Your sister and mothers
How 'perfect' they are/How pathetic they are/How awesome they are
Bridge
Lightspeed out of my mind
I'm hurt but I'll be fine
Put your fist in the air
Raise your voice and declare
That we don't care (we don;'t care)
We don't care (we don't care)
Chrous
Here's another song for the radio
And here's another line from the heart
Admit your guilty pleasures
And just sing along/sing this song
'Cos we/you all feel the same in the dark
Verse Two - Part A - Version One
LA Temptations
Or music sensations
What's your occupation
A weight on our heads
Verse Two - Part A - Version Two
We got the fans
Who love boys in the band/Who do all that they can
And do all that they can/For their boys in the band
To keep us in a job/And the music they love
Verse Two - Part B - Version One
F*** all the liars
Who dream and conspire
Against the admired
Well go get a life
Verse Two - Part B - Version Two
We know they're wrong
This is where we belong
And we're still standing strong
Through the heartache and strife
Miscellaneous lyrics/notes
Been faking a smile
And in life you'll go far
This one's for free but next time it'll cost you
It's the way it goes
Here's another song for the radio!

Stars come out for world’s biggest bring-and-buy sale at Lakeside
CELEBS rubbed shoulders with bargain hunters at Lakeside as they took part in the world’s largest charity bring-and-buy sale. Actress Connie Fisher, winner of the How to Solve a Problem like Maria, was among the famous names who joined the Blue Peter team for the live broadcast from the shopping centre’s packed central atrium. The event was organised in association with Save the Children to raise money to pay for children’s meals across the world. While hundreds of shoppers craned their necks to grab a glimpse of their favourite stars, many others were focusing on bargains in the massive sale. Among the items up for grabs were several items donated by celebrities. These included a signed copy of McFly’s latest album, a large signed photo of Olympic cycling hero Chris Hoy and a joke book autographed by comedian Harry Hill.
Other stars at the event included former Busted band member Matt Willis and actor Ben Walker from the Golden Compass film. Matt Willis said: “I’m so excited to be taking part in this amazing event. I’m hoping to pick up a signed Harry Hill joke book. Together we can help raise money to help children around the world eat and grow better food.”
Southend’s very own Youth Symphonic Wind Band were also at the event to provide musical accompaniment for the sellers and shoppers. The giant second-hand sale is part of the BBC1 programme’s Mission Nutrition campaign to put two million meals on plates for children around the world. The money raised will go to providing daily meals for children in Bangladesh, Colombia and South Africa through Save the Children. The money will also help children in those countries and the UK learn to cook for themselves.

The money raised will go to providing daily meals for children in Bangladesh, Colombia and South Africa through Save the Children. The money will also help children in those countries and the UK learn to cook for themselves.

MCFLY announce second Sydney show due to overwhelming demand
McFly’s return to Australia in 2009 is proving to be one of the most anticipated events of the year.
February 18, 2009, 12:03 PM
With all tickets to their February 27 Metro Theatre gig already sold out, these UK lads have confirmed a second performance on Sunday 15 March. To date, every headline show McFly have announced in Australia has sold out and their new Metro Theatre date will be no exception.
We’ve tried time and again to introduce McFly to a new Australian audience, but every time we’ve announced a show it’s sold out in a snap. If you get in fast enough this time around, March 15 will be the day you fully realize the wonder of McFly: the UK’s best kept secret.
McFly first found fame as teenagers in 2004, as the quartet’s debut album achieved double-platinum status in their homeland - beating The Beatles to the title of youngest British band ever to debut at #1. Like all great guitar groups, McFly make rock music pinned on pop melodies.
Five years after they formed, still at the average age of only 22, McFly took the bold step of leaving the major label they used to call home, setting up their own self-financed indie label, Super Records, and releasing their fifth studio album Radio:ACTIVE, independently.
McFly mix their love of vintage rock with a British twist on the modern punk-pop sound they share with American acts such as Green Day, Blink 182 and Fall Out Boy. Like the songs on the album, the band is bursting with energy every second they’re on stage.

And hopefully all being well it will be released in 2009.

My facebook link
Some people have been asking for it.
Search me under 'Brucie Jones' and this is my default
Be warned!
I accept pretty much everyone, unless you're somebody that has annoyed me in a past life.
And anybody that sends me group invites, cause invites etc. gets deleted. No warning, just deletion. They're stupid and annoying. If I want to support a band or charity I'll find it myself.
***THIS INCLUDES INVITES FOR McFLY GROUPS***
The other Bruce Jones, Flea-Lee Poynter and Presley Poynter-Sandford are crap copycat profiles and are not endorsed by or connected to myself. Or McFly for that matter.
Here's 'Presley's' profile (as seen on McFly Secrets)
They said it's different people running the Flea and Presley ones but I don't think so because they're both equally as rubbish. And so's the Bruce one.
Don't be fooled into thinking they're run by Dougie or Danny or anybody in touch with McFly because they're not.

Get well soon Dave
Dave Hunter from Reemer (McFlys' support act on the Radio:ACTIVE tour) is ill with nodules. It's quite a serious thing for a singer to contract (their worst nightmare actually) and he can't rush his recovery through in a couple of days like a simple sore throat. If he does and sings through it instead of resting his voice it could stop him singing for good, it is that serious. He feels like rubbish and he feels like he's let everyone down because it's the start of their tour.
So please be patient with cancelled/rescheduled gigs and let the lads know you support them whatever happens at http://www.myspace.com/reemerband
To get Clouds Acoustic on your iPod watch this video

But their favorite is YAKIUDON(noodles)!

After lunch,they went shopping to AMERICA-MURA.
Looks like everyone had a great time there!!

McFly in Alan Carr's autobiography
Posted by southendgirl on the official forum.
As it happened, I was sharing a dressing room with McFly. They are lovely boys, but in their skinny-fit jeans and spiky hair they made me feel very old. My hair was beginng to recede around that time in November 2005 - I noticed it in the reflection of Cliff Richards veneers. It had started slipping back down my head like a rug on a highly polished floor, but thank-fully with a bit of hair wax I could still fool people into thinking I had a fringe. Just as I was feeling old, watching McFly coolly strum their guitars without a care, their manager came in and told the boys off for eating to many jelly beans.
"If you have too many E numbers, you'll be bouncing off the walls."
Who says rock 'n' roll is dead?

And to match your McFly skirt...
McFly shoes...

5. IF YOU LIVE IN THE UK THE MAKER IS WILLING TO ACCEPT PAYMENT BY CHEQUE, POSTAL ORDER (get these at your local post office but they charge you for this, like currency exchange) OR PAYPAL.
6. IF YOU LIVE OVERSEAS THE ONLY PAYMENT SHE WILL ACCEPT IS PAYPAL.
Okay, so, a while ago I handpainted a pair of McFly shoes for a friend of mine. She wore them to one of their recent gigs and apparently quite a lot of people asked her where she got them from, so I figured I'd put a post up here and see whether anybody is interesting in having me make them a pair.
I don't have a picture of the ones I originally made for her, so this is a picture of a pair that I quickly painted just now to give everyone an idea of what I mean. I did them pretty roughly and so they're NOT great. Any I do to order will be a lot better.
Picture Two LINK
I'll make them to order, so you can have them anyway you like. i.e.:
* You can choose the colour of the design.
* You can have them on either white shoes or black shoes, though if you choose black the design can only be in white, silver or gold.
* You can choose the size. (Obviously.)
* You can have them quite subtle like the ones above, so that it's not immediately apparent that it's the McFly logo. Or you can have it clearer.
* You can have it with or without the mic logo, with or without stars, or with some other sort of detail you have in mind. It's entirely up to you.
They're painted with proper colour-fast fabric paints and then sprayed with an acrylic sealant, so it's not going to come off at all. I'm not really looking to make much money from them, so I was thinking £10 including postage and packaging? After the cost of the shoes and the postage there's not a lot of profit in it. I'm just seeing if anybody would like some since so many people were apparently asking about them.
Thanks!
P.S. Mods, if this is entiiiirely against the rules, just delete it. <3
EDIT : I can do other bands, too!

He bought 4 t-shirts!Two S size and Two M size!Two for 990yen.
It seems like Danny and Dougie wore it today!(i'm not sure if its the one they bought in uniqlo)
The clerk told us that Danny was finding for a jeans,but the store at the Tokyo station is small ,so maybe he's going to the other store.
We'll write everyday so,
