Toploader Play For the Queen!!

To celebrate HRH the Queen's Golden Jubilee Toploader went along to her Garden party and played Dancing In The Moonlight!! Despite the pressure of performing to millions of people all around the world Toploader did themselves proud and were one of the first acts to get everyone really into that party mood!!


We've Been Toploadered!!

Toploader's lead guitarist, Julian Deane paid us a visit, and the friendly little chap left a note on the message board to let us all know!! And as if that isn't exciting enough, he commented that they've just finished in the studio and are heading off to LA to add the finishing touches to the new album!!  How he found his way here is a mystery, possibly whilst taking the tour bus for a spin!!

He also spotted a mistake (whoops!) I'll try and fix that soon!!


Dan And Gail Expecting A Baby!!

Gail Hipgrave has confirmed that she is seven weeks pregnant and will be expecting the newly wed couple's first baby in August around the time of their first anniversary!!  It is thought that they would have rather kept the news private as Gail is only seven weeks and still in the early stages of their pregnancy, but due to speculation the couple decided to confirm the pregnancy. A friend of the couple's said that Dan had been keen to start a family, and was talking about having a baby before they went on honeymoon!! A spokesman for the couple has said that the couple are "very delighted" with the news.
