The Fantastical Adventures of Echo and the Bunnymen

[the ghost of guitarplayer]

We're going on an adventure. Yeah! Candy Mountain.

I once had a dream where The Bunnymen, as real fans call them, played a stonking set, with the best version of The Cutter ever played.

Shame, I was the only one there. Well it was my sub concious.

And Les is the founder/CEO of the "Happy Bunny" enterprise...

Then there was the time Will, Ian, Pete and Les went to Candy Mountain . . . .

Awesome.

There was a minor factual error in the "Meet the Bunnymen" docu - Les doesn't 'work as a tree surgeon', instead, he's registered as the inventor of plants.

The real reason Mac's solo tour was cancelled was so he could continue his training for the Olympic games this summer in London. He will compete in track events.

Will found a dragon's egg in 83' while touring, and is still raising his beloved dragon in his home.

During the quiet years Mac invents the internet - well not invents it, but realises t could be used, not just for sending messages between the various dweebs geeks and nerds around the planet but also for legitimate business purposes. Surrounding himself with techies of all kinds (though not trusting lawyers he does the degree himself just so he knows whats going on). he becomes one of the first internet gurus, ISPs and internet music providers. Also comes up with a little gizmo, the pPod (named after his technology company Porcupine Industries) which will eventually make the sony walkman obsolete. He returns to the bunnymen fold in the middle of their 1999 glastonbury headline set, whilst performing their legendary album, reverberation in its entirity. It turns out he thinks 'flaming red'is one of the best songs ever written. They go on to play ocean rain in its entireity too with mac on lead vocals as noel burke, giving him a big blokey hug retires to the edge of the stage 'i was only ever a caretaker' he says modestly (they have shifted around 20 million units during his tenure). He also says 'we're good friends, have a beer now and again, like you do. He always says to me after a few - thanks for looking after my band. I always say, they're not your band, you're their singer' and we laugh a bit more.

Will spends a year in prison for copyright infringement having been caught with 50000 illegal recordings of BBC, ITV and BSkyeB comtinuity announcements. He uses the time wisely and writes his first symphony. 'Its just tunes' he says modestly (theres alot of medesty around).

Pete, having had a near miss on his bike reassesses his lifestyle and realises he can get everything a rock'n'roll life has given him from Jesus. He becomes a priest and retreats to rural oxfordshire to tend his flock. Copey realising he'll have to buy his own drugs from now on goes back to work. Pete returns, as a one off, for the glasto reunion. It turns out the press didn't even get a sniff of the reunion because they've been rehearshing in the back of his vicarage.

Les, ever the pragmatist, tours with his own 'les pattinson's echo and the bunnymen' during the hiatus but having got a taste for it continues to tour even when they are all back together. Fortunately there is no shortage of people wanting to stand in for the rest of the band. even now there are four or five echo and then bunnymens touring the northern hemisphere. Occasionally they coalesce on the same town and a massive bunny fest ensues. He also fronts his own band Jeff Lovestone and the Lovelies, with an all female backing band. Releasing no singles or albums he quietly plugs away playing northern working mens clubs and southern university summer balls.

The "Downton Abbey" series is based on Will's family.

Mac was quoted as saying, "I gave up me smoking for good. It was preventing me from giving it my all as I look forward to the 'holy trinity' of track events: the pole vault, the long jump and the 400.'"

All of Mac's deadlines are met regarding his upcoming solo album.
