1.Why did you decide to release an expanded version of the book\u00a0\u201cBauhaus Undead\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the first run of books we were hearing from a lot of people who had missed the boat. I discussed the idea of printing a second run and my publisher could only agree to a relatively small run that proved to be financially unviable. I felt sad about the fact that a good number of fans would never have the chance to own the book. After a few weeks my publisher called me with an idea to make an expanded edition as he knew that it would be financially viable and so I agreed to begin work on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The new version features 78 additional pages, what do these pages contain?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wrote seven new stories and the visual content includes: Exquisite Corpse drawings by the band, Bauhaus cassette sleeves, never seen before photographs that I took, posters and flyers, Selection of fan photos headed \u201cWe Love Our Audience\u201d, Excerpts from a fans diary who used to come to every show, contact photo sheets of never seen before photos, collection of backstage passes from original member DavidJ and lots more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. How long did it take to complete the book and which process did you follow?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As this was an expanded version it didn\u2019t take as long as the original. It took me about 9 months to gather all the memorabilia and photographs, work on the layout and write the stories. During the process I reached out to a couple of fans (Vincent Forrest and Andrew Brooksbank) and Graham Bentley who was our original lighting director\/tour manager. I also dug deeper in to my collection and found a few gems that I had overlooked the first time. Once I had written the stories I reached out again to ask for photos and flyers to accompany the stories and completed hours of searching online for the same. I also did a lot of research to make sure that I had the sequence of events correct. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. I noticed that this book contains everything, from backstage passes to fuel bills, contracts, etc. How did you manage to maintain this material all these years?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well I have covered this in the previous question. The three main contributors and myself included are pack rats!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Is there additional material for a second book or a super expended version of the same title?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a super expanded version of the original!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. What do the other band members think about your book?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have all complemented me on it so I\u2019m very happy about that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Do you recall any special moments of your career that are important but you did not find any photos to include them in the book?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have managed to include all the special memories and moments that were pivotal and important to me in the book. Also some humorous ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. How did you feel upon writing the book?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was quite a challenge and a roller coaster ride! It was also a lot of enjoyable work and many hours spent with research and writing. When I held the finished result in my hands it was almost like holding my baby! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Do you have any plans for a new book or new audio material with the Bauhaus?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am contemplating writing a memoir which would be largely based around Bauhaus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Do you still compose music for films and video games?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven\u2019t composed music for a few years now as the book took up a lot of my time however I\u2019m sure I will get back on that saddle sooner or later. I have entered the world of TV and Film producing. Im involved with a drama series set in Los Angeles and a music TV show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
