New William painting update

Not too happy with it at the moment, you can see where I have got to above. In fact I may have a major rethink.

William plays the GINGLICK in shepherds bush

Another stunning performance as William warmed up for the Royal Albert Hall dates and what a great venue. If you want to have William performing in your lounge this is as close as you are gonna get!. Photos are on William's gallery page so click on the link.

WILLIAM PLAYS THE 12-BAR CLUB IN DENMARK STREET LONDON 23RD MAY

In preparation for William's forthcoming sold out Albert Hall concerts with Mark Knopfler, he will warm up at the small 12 bar club in Denmark street.

This page is dedicated To William Topley's amazing talent and will be updated regularly.

This is James working on one of two portraits of William. William owns both of these paintings.

I first saw William play as part of the Blessing back in 1991 as I had been recording an album at Mike Westergaard's studio and Mike had just joint the band (Known then as "Just William") Various gigs at the roundhouse, the underground, the half moon asserted my dedication to the Blessing and especially the writing and vocal talent of William.

I spotted myself on the forthcoming William DVD in the front row of the Kentish town Forum gig when the "Live video " of flames was recordrd. Thats me in the stripey top and Blonde hair. I remember my girlfriend at the time rushing the stage to kiss Mike.

Amsterdam with Level 42 was a buzz and we smoked and ligged and enjoyed.

It is great that William is back and performing. In the last few months I travelled to Brighton and Tunbridge Wells to see him perform and I will put the photos on here from both gigs. I will see him perfrom next on the 23rd May 2005 at the 12-bar club in Tin Pan Alley which should be agreat warm up to his forthcoming Albert hall gigs in support of Mark Knopfler.
