• AUGUST 28 - My second question is on the Official Website!
  August 28, 2003
  Helen (22) from St. Petersburg, Russia:
  Hi, Chris! First of all, thank you very much for the wonderful show in St. Petersburg on April, 2! I saw two guitars on the stage and the question is what's the difference between them? Thanks!
  Chris de Burgh:
  The show in St. Petersburg was wonderful for me, I enjoyed it very much in the cathedral there. And of course it is an absolutely gorgeous town, gorgeous city. I can’t wait to go back there, particularly when the weather is warm. I have two twelve string guitars on stage, both of them made by the Guitar Factory in America, which is a small guitar factory making very high quality guitars that people like Sting and Eric Clapton use. One is slightly newer than the other one, and one of them has term controls, base and treble term controls and the other one doesn’t. Also slightly different pickups. But they are standby guitars. If one of the guitars should go out of tune or a string breaks or something, at least I have a backup, just in case.



• MARCH 19 - My question is on the Official Website!

  Helen (22) from St. Petersburg, Russia:
  Hello, Chris! Your new album is really nice! My question is about CD's booklet. The first pictures look as if they were taken on Hawaii. But the next I suppose are taken in Russia on the 8th or 9th of March. Summer and winter at the same time? Why? Thanks a lot.
  Chris de Burgh:
  St. Petersburg is part of the world I will be returning to in April as you may have heard. I’ve got this Russian tour coming up and one of the venues is in St. Petersburg. And I was there last year. What a beautiful city, it is absolutely stunning. Anyway, the question is about CD booklets. The pictures are supposed to be summer and winter, very cold places and very warm places to illustrate the cover of Timing Is Everything. Because if you look on the back you see there is a newspaper saying “Blizzards close all airports – below -50 in Moscow”. It’s suggesting that whoever this is has arrived on a beach, perhaps in Hawaii, perhaps in Barbados or Mauritius, which I love in particular. They’ve got out just in time before that really dreadful weather has settled in. And the photographs were taken in different places in the world, but the ones with me in them do include Moscow. And the one in the middle is taken inside the Kremlin. We took quite a few photographs in there and that again is an absolutely beautiful part of the world.
