Christmas Note 2008 |
|
"MERRY CHRISTMAS" and a "HAPPY NEW YEAR"
2009.
Hello, Hello, H E L L O O O
O!
Fanmily – Wellwishers - Old
and New Supporters!
Here I am again greeting
you GLOBALLY during this festive season, for us to celebrate
another year passing us by, into another NEW YEAR with
"POSITIVE" expectations. Even though our world is somewhat
perturbed at the moment, with endless WARS, TERRORISM, GENOCIDE,
STARVATION and ECONOMIC DEPRESSION, we still have to focus on
our balance as human beings having to cope with these
devastating outlets, thrown upon us by our same mankind.
At this point I’d like to
share with you some of my activities since autumn into this last
month of the year. It has been a FANTASTIC year indeed. I’ve had
shows in Canada, Armenia, Russia, India (Twice) Dubai and
Kazakhstan. Here I’m exhibiting some photos captured during
these travels. I also had a couple of interviews which
highlighted my PR corner, for example an interview with the
radio station CJSO in Guebec - Canada. This was conducted by Lue
Dononcourt on the 17th of October. The other one was with Peter
Robertson for the "Daily Express" which was published on the
16th of this month, entitled How I battled For My Life. I’m
hoping that with this article I’ve given some people a sense of
hope and "FIGHTING POWER" for LIFE!
I also did a radio
interview for HR 4 with Herman here in Germany. It was
broadcasted on my birthday which was a lot of FUN! A couple of
my shows were for CHARITY EVENTS. I was approached by Dr. P.
Raghu Ram the founder of the "USHALAKSHMI Breast Cancer
Foundation" in Hyderabad - India to take part, which was a
honour and at the same time somewhat touching, being a breast
cancer "SURVIVOR" twice. After that successful evening, my team
and I boarded our flight the next day to Dubai where we
presented another show for charity. This time was for the
"Autism Kids" and it was also a successful evening indeed. Now I
have more knowledge of what this unfortunate illness is all
about. The following day Marcus and I accepted an invitation to
visit the "Dubai Autism Center" and met some of the kids. We
were both awarded Certificate of Appreciation by the General
Director - Mohammad Al Emadi. Photos are displayed in our new
photo collage.
By January 2009 my new
single - a REMIX from my "SURVIVAL" CD will be published. Keep
checking my webpage and my fanclub page for the exact release
date. OK? After that I’ll hit you with more remixes leading into
my New CD. HA! HA! HA! Are you ready?
Another piece of EXCITING
news is about our new record label "XOAH RECORDS" which has been
set up by one of my main men, Daniel Diezi. This will enable us
to publish recordings after recordings. Great classy work again
Daniel. Thank you most awfully dear. L E T `S R O C K!!!
Right now I would like to
thank and congratulate my other main man Dan Lange who
constructed and managing my FAN CLUB site. Dan, you are
absolutely GREAT!
I`m ever so grateful to
Robert Summers, who constructed my personal webpage so elegantly
and professionally which has drawn so many viewers globally.
Thank you Rob!
Let me also thank everybody
who has taken the time in signing my "GUESTBOOK" over the years,
expressing your admiration and joy in listening to the work and
presentation of "BONEY M", keeping the sound ALIVE for over
three decades. I’m also very chuffed with your comments
regarding my "SOLO" work since I emerged with my project.
Now this special greeting
goes out to Maizie, Bobby and Liz. Thank you for some beautiful
years and may GOD Bless and keep you ALWAYS! Another greetings
for Frank.
To a disturbing topic! I
would like to make you aware of the many PHOENY "Boney M’s" out
there on the market who are capitalizing from our hard work,
including this said Sheyla Bonnick claiming that she was an
original member of our setup. Alike herself these unknown
rip-offs are taking our bread from our table, even though they
did not contribute to the sound and unique presentation of
"BONEY M". The shows they are presenting around the globe is
indeed a disaster and must be banned immediately. Let me also
add that not only these parasites are to be taken into account
for but also these cheap agents who are booking them. It`s a
mockery and disgrace tarnishing our good reputation, that we
have created and brought to success over these years.
On a more pleasant note I
would like to send out my gratitude to my team who are
constantly on the road with me presenting my shows in a
professional manner. A BIG thank you to my female vocalists who
are Sina, Francy, Tuti, Julia, Peti and Liz Cunningham. To my
SOUND ENGINEERS Ralf and Peddy. Ralf is also my guitarist and
vocalist. Udo is on keyboards as well as vocals, on drums Sven
is responsible to lead the tightness. My two dancers are Filippo
and Isabell and last but not least my Marcus is on bass,
percussion and lead male vocals.
Valentin, it was great
seeing you in Berlin. Hope the fans are enjoying the interview I
gave you. Thank you for the Christmas card and keep up the good
work with your "Boney M" website from Spain.
Let me conclude this note
at this moment, wishing everybody a "MERRY CHRISTMAS" and a
"HAPPY, HEALTHY and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR".
PEACE and LOVE!!!
Marcia.

Marcia In Dubai |
|
On 27th October 2008 Marcia did a
charity concert at the American University of Dubai to raise
awareness for Dubai Autism Center.
Marcia said about the charity
concert:
"I think it's
important to be part of the community - not only where you live
but wherever you think you can serve. To be able to do this
Charity Concert for DAC is therefore an honour. The Dubai Autism
Center is a wonderful school and the therapists here are doing
such a great job. I hope the concert has helped in some way
toward a very precious mission"

SOME MORE
SPOT LIGHT EVENTS |
|
HELLO
FANMILY, WELLWISHERS, NEW SUPPORTERS!
I`m up
and about with my constant Co.P (you know who) rubbing
shoulders or as the terminology used ever so often as
mingling. Yes indeed, that was the case when Marcus and
I were invited to attend the 34th PKM SOMMER-BIWAK in
the KRONPRINZENPALAIS in Berlin. Parlamentskreis
Mittelstand Der CDU / CSU - Bundestagsfraktion. As you
can see on our invitation the event was on the 24th June
2008.
The
evening was quite vibrant and the HIGHLIGHT for me was
when I met and shook hand with Bundeskazlerin der
Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Dr. Angela Merkel MDB. I was
pleasantly surprised how very warm she was. The camaras
were busy clicking away but I guess that the
journalists, who got the shots kept them for themselves.
HA! HA! HA! HA!
Nevermind,
there will be other times when I`ll get them to take the
shots with my camara. I did just that in capturing other
photos of the evening.
Just look
at me enjoying that cigar - JOKE! I was only posing with
it and found it rather funny, smoking away without it
being lit as I did in the "Ma Baker" video. Remember?
The lovely lady who was rolling the cigars was from
Brazil. The other photos are of other guests at the
event.
On the
27th of June we had the pleasure of meeting YING from
the act YING YANG TWINS
Now that
was a hilarious evening. He was sooooo funny that
laughter was the topping of the day. Unfortunately we
couldn`t make it for their show in Berlin that night but
will definitely do so on another occasion. YOU ROCK YING!
Congratulations on your success and thanks for the
autograph.
In the
meantime we are on our way to Erevan - Armenia for a
show set for the 18th instant. Will definitely take some
photos. OK?
Continue
to stay tuned, my surprise will be revealed soon. That`s
all for the moment I`m afraid. Take Care! WALK GOOD!
WITH
GOD`S GUIDANCE!!!

P.R. Update |
|
Hello Fanmily -
Supporters,
Are you feeling
IRIE? I am. Oh! by the way IRIE is a little Jamaican expression
which means GOOD - VIBRANT. Got it? Good (smile)
As you know that
there is another vital side to an artiste`s commitments in our
business, which is the promotional input. Sometimes it can get a
little bit hectic but I love that part of it too mind you and
I`m catching up on the years that went by, whilst I was battling
for my life. Thank God for the internet, which enables one to
keep in touch with the world at anytime. Let me give you an
update of what Iv`e been up to during the last six weeks.
The interview on
"Dragonland Radio, with Markus Schultz via internet on the
24.5.08 between 8 - 10p.m. German time was enjoyable, even
though I had to make some corrections with FACTS. You know what
I mean? I was actually scheduled for a twenty minutes chat but
stayed on for Markus`s full two hours air time. I hope that
those of you who had the chance to listen in, enjoyed it. Thank
you Markus for the invitation and will definitely pop in again.
I had another
EXCITING telephone interview for BBC RADIO 2 on the 5th instant
with DJ. Stuart Maconie. This was at 6.15p.m. GMT (7.15p.m.
German time) The LIVE show was entitled "THE VINYL COUNTDOWN" of
which "Boney M" was included in the TOP 5 of the "KILLER POP
FACT" and was selected the NUMBER ONE with "Rivers Of Babylon"
and "Brown Girl In The Ring" for sales in 1978, making the
single officially 3 X platinum in Britain alone. It`s also good
to know that this show usually have up to 5.5 million listeners.
The interview was nice and fulfilling.
Now, on the next
day which was the 6th instant, I was invited to be on the JURY
panel at a beauty pageant in Berlin. The event was "Miss. &
Mister Land Berlin 2008", which was held at the "ADAGIO"
discotheque located at Marlene - Dietrich Platz 1. I enjoyed
that immensely.
Some photos are
displayed under this note, only on
www.marciabarrettsite.com This
info is for those of you who have logged on
www.marciabarrettofboneym.com
OK? You will have some other photos to view.
Last but not least,
my surprises are just around the corner, STAY TUNED! I myself
can`wait
HA! HA! HAAAAA!
Until then.
ONE LOVE!!!
Marcia.

L.da Vinci Ristorante where the food is absolutely delicious.
As you can see in three of these photos, Marcus and I posed
with the owner. We were presented two FINE bottles of red
wine but only posed with one. What a warm hospitality. The
other photo is with the team of chefs who sets up the fire
in the kitchen.
Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! This is our

It is quite beautifully
HECTIC, continuing my mission doing what I enjoy and do best.
I`m in my heights, performing globally with a wonderful
experienced and professional team, who support me in extending
JOY and at the same time the message of PEACE to all our
audiences.
I would like to share with
you some of the moments that was captured of us, during our
visit to INDIA----BANGALORE with this collection of photos and
articles.
Let me take this
moment in THANKING Mr. Bhairav Shanth and his entire team for
making this thought into a POSITIVE reality. Another THANKS is
extending to the students of (IIPM) their support of awareness
on global warming as a part of the AMAZE-2008 spectacular. Big
RESPECT to the band AURKO who presented their lovely Indi-pop
numbers and covers from Hindi film songs. ARYA`S karaoke was
enchanting.
We had a splendid time and
I hope that you will enjoy me sharing the event with you.
On a personal note,

guessbook but it`s back on track again. My upcoming note is near
at hand so keep a close eye opened.
In the meantime, take care!
BLESSINGS!!!
Marcia Barrett.

OOPS!
In my note above,
when I extended thanks to the students of IIPM and wrote
an incorrect abbreviation of what they represent, I
would like to correct my mis - typing. To you LOVELY
students, it was one finger that went the wrong way.
(smile) I`m sure you can understand.
Last but not by no
means least, let me applaud the hospitality that we were
given daily during our stay in the "GRAND ASHOK HOTEL"
in BANGALORE. The staff was SUPERB applying "TOP NOTCH"
service at all times. Will always come again.Thank you!

BBC - Marcia In Georgia |
'Boney M' on Georgia's frontline
|
|
Georgia has
hired a member of 1970s pop group Boney M, famous for songs like
Daddy Cool and Rasputin, in its fight for control of breakaway
South Ossetia.
Marcia Barrett played a concert in a small
frontline village not far from the rebel capital Tskhinvali.
Thousands of people came in cars, buses,
trucks and on foot through a mountain pass skirting separatist
territory to hear her sing.
The rebels have close ties with Russia and
are trying to secede from Georgia.
Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili
told the BBC he hoped the music would persuade people to lay
down their arms.
"We hope that we'll lure out people from
their trenches, force them to drop [their] Kalashnikovs, come
here and dance with the others and understand that nothing is as
nice as peace, nothing is as nice as reconciliation," Mr
Saakashvili said.
"This place was only famous for killings,
violence, crime past and present. And now it's like adding some
new thing, it's looking much more colourful, much less violent,
just normal, and being normal is such a novelty here," he added.
'Peaceful life'
Ms Barrett said she did not know much
about the situation in this remote region of the former Soviet
Union but said she wanted to promote peace.
"Because it's a peace festival I really
feel honoured to be invited to come and take part," she told the
BBC.
The concert took place in Tamarasheni, a
village of around 500 people that remains loyal to Georgia.
Our correspondent says the event was
planned by the Georgian authorities to show the South Ossetian
separatists that life would be better and more fun if they
returned to government control.
In the words of a Georgian official, he
says, peaceful life resumes when people sing songs.
Gun battles
The village is in the middle of the
conflict and witnesses regular gun battles despite a ceasefire.
All around the area are checkpoints manned
by Georgian and Ossetian forces as well as Russian peacekeeping
troops.
The war that erupted when South Ossetia
broke away from Georgia after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet
Union cost thousands of lives.
Although the concert was billed as a Boney
M gig and Marcia Barrett's band was introduced as Boney M, two
groups also featuring former members of Boney M are touring
under the same name.
Former Boney M vocalist Liz Mitchell had
nothing to do with the concert in South Ossetia.
The legal rights to the name Boney M
continue to be a matter of controversy.
Boney M have a loyal following in the
former USSR. Their songs were among the few approved under
Communist rule. |

Marcia In Lithuania |
Here are a few photos captured during and after our
shows in Lithuania on the 31st of December 2007. In one shot you
will notice that the entire crew got presents from the host.
After that we got to the airport for our flight
back to Germany with beautiful bouquet of flowers each. What FUN!!!

Marcia In Russia and Lithuania |

|
On 28th of December we had the pleasure of visiting
Moscow – Russia where we were expected to perform at a private gala for
President Vladimir Putin.
The gala was held by President Putin. My team and I performed "Sunny", "Hooray!
Hooray! It’s A Holi- Holiday", "Rasputin" as well as a medley.
It was an honour to perform for President Putin. Unfortunately no
cameras were allowed at the gala, so we can’t show you any pictures from
this performance.
While being in Russia we also had the chance to visit the Red Square –
just like in 1978.
Later in December it was time for a visit to Lithuania where two live
shows were delivered. Arriving at 8 am by plane, we had a 3 hours drive
to the first concert hall Lvairos Vietos in Lietuva before doing sound
check at 12 pm. So no time was wasted!
The show started at 5 o’clock in the afternoon and went down superbly
with an amazing atmosphere among the audience.
Around 8000 people attended the show, so the hall was packed. A lot of
young children were seated in the first rows. We had a splendid time!
At 8 o’clock in the evening the second show took place at Kauno Sporto
Halé in Kaunas. With another 8000 people in the audience the show went
down just as well as the show in the afternoon! Another amazing
atmosphere with great people.
We look forward to seeing you somewhere around the world in 2008.
Marcia.

Here you`ll find a photo from the Red Square when
my team and I bought our ``RUSSIAN HATS, after we presented our show to
President Putin at his private gala on the 28th of December 2007.
. It was
lovely, cold but brought back memories of when `BONEY M.` visited MOSCOW
in 1978. We were the first show event back then from the WESTERN borders
to visit and perform in RUSSIA. Quite SENTIMENTAL!!! |

Marcia At "Mamma Mia" Musical Premiere |
Abba ist zurück: Mamma Mia feiert
Premiere
Zur
Musical-Gala am Potsdamer Platz kamen auch die
Stars Björn und Anni-Frid
"Ja,
zu Abbas Zeiten trug ich auch Schlaghosen
und Koteletten, das sieht man noch auf
meinem Führerscheinfoto", erzählte Klaus
Wowereit gestern lächelnd auf dem roten
Teppich vor dem Eingang zum Musicaltheater
am Potsdamer Platz. Der Regierende
Bürgermeister und sein Lebensgefährte Jörn
Kubicki gehörten zu den 1756 Premierengästen
des Musicals "Mamma Mia". Nach Hamburg und
Stuttgart ist Berlin die dritte Station der
deutschsprachigen Musicalproduktion.
Wowereit weiter: "Jetzt muss ich aber auch
mal etwas Kritik äußern. Beim nächsten
großen Musical würde ich mir Berlin vor
Hamburg als erste Premierenstadt wünschen."
Das Musical mit vielen bekannten Melodien
der weltberühmten schwedischen Popgruppe ist
für ihn und seinen Freund übrigens kein
Neuland. "Wir haben ,Mamma Mia' in
englischer Sprache schon in Las Vegas
gesehen, nun sind wir auf die deutsche
Version gespannt", sagte Jörn Kubicki. Auch
Abba-Star Anni-Frid Reuss, mit Abba-Musiker
Björn Ulvaeus Ehrengast der
Gala-Veranstaltung, kennt Wowereit bereits.
"Wir haben uns vor vier Jahren im
Friedrichstadtpalast kennen gelernt, waren
zusammen essen." Anni-Frid und Björn, die
gestern noch eine Stadtrundfahrt machten,
mussten vor dem Theater unzählige Autogramme
schreiben, wurden dann aber zur Enttäuschung
vieler im Foyer stehenden Gäste gleich zum
Fahrstuhl geschleust.
Mit
einer attraktiven, blonden Begleiterin am
Arm kam "Let's Dance"-Jury-Mitglied Joachim
Llambi über den roten Teppich. Viele
weibliche Premierengäste blickten dem als
knallhart bekannten Juror aus der
RTL-Tanzshow hinterher. Aber er hatte nur
Augen für eine - seine Frau Ilona. "Wir sind
extra aus Frankfurt/Main gekommen", erzählte
Llambi. Noch weiter war der Weg der Berliner
Schauspielerin Susan Uplegger. "Wir haben
unseren Urlaub in Barcelona unterbrochen, um
heute im Parkett Beifall zu klatschen. Vor
allem für Ulrich Wiggers, den Darsteller des
'Sam', mit dem wir befreundet sind."
Schauspielerin Anouschka Renzi: "Abba-Songs
sind wieder richtig hipp. Wenn ich eine
Party mache, spiele ich sie immer."
Jazzmusiker und Musicaldirigent Rolf Kühn: "Nein,
ein richtiger Fan von Abba war ich nie, aber
natürlich sind das alles gute Songs. Ich bin
gespannt, wie sie nun im Musical verarbeitet
worden sind."
In "familiärer"
Begleitung kamen die Schauspieler Christoph
M. Ohrt (mit Tochter Lillian), Leslie Malton
(mit Patentochter Marie-Luise) und
GZSZ-Darstellerin Susan Sideropoulos (mit
Vater Pierro). Das Abendkleid mit dem
größten Rückenausschnitt trug Model Lena
Gercke, die Siegerin der ersten
Model-Casting-Show "Germany' Next Topmodel"
im vergangenen Jahr. Ebenfalls gesichtet:
Marcia Barrett,
jahrelang Leadsängerin der Popgruppe "Boney
M.", Ex-Fußballer Jimmy Hartwig,
Comedian Oliver Kalkofe, Filmmogul Artur
Brauner und Gerit Kling. Im Anschluss der
Vorstellung wurde in allen Etagen des Hauses
und im Adagio gefeiert. Weil die Handlung
auf einer griechischen Insel spielt, gab's
am Büfett unter anderem auch griechische
Spezialitäten.
Einige
Zahlen vom Backstage-Bereich: Die Bühne (eine
Haupt- und zwei Seitenbühnen) umfasst 720
Quadratmeter; 439 Scheinwerfer, 113
Farbwechsler und 52 Moving Lights sorgen für
die Lichtstimmung; 34 Funkmikrofone, 110
Lautsprecher, ein digitales Mischpult sowie
eine Verstärkerleistung von 120 000 Watt für
den Sound. Mehr als 500 Kostüme kommen pro
Vorstellung zum Einsatz.

Marcia's November Note 2007 |
GREETINGS FANMILLY SUPPORTERS
and WELLWISHERS!
How are you keeping?
Let me hope FINE indeed. Just a little quickie before my
CHRISTMAS NOTE. This article is one of many that was written about
my invitation to Georgia, where I took part at a ``PEACE
FESTIVAL`` OH! by the way, the Georgia I`m talking about is
in the BLACK SEA. Peace is the only weapon that we human
beings should practice, living together as ONE. It feels
GOOD to have PEACE within one`s SOUL.
Lots of new photos
coming up shortly for you to ENJOY.
