Posted by Elton on 11/4/2002, 5:06 pm Hi guys. Self-belief, ambition, confidence, & perseverance are all essential ingredients in keeping a bands heart beating. Brian informed us that he no longer felt these with Brando and felt the need to move on. Im still in shock and sad that we are finished. We could continue, but for now it doesnt feel right. Personally, I will continue doing the odd solo gig, but my immediate plans are to take time off and do some travelling in America & South Africa, something Ive been putting off for a long time. We are officially finishing up with a final gig in Whelans on Thursday 28th November. Our other remaining gigs include: Gara Vogue, Sligo. 14th Nov. Ive also a couple of solo gigs: Support for Mannequin at Temple Bar Music Centre, Thank you all for your support over the years. Get your tape recorders out and well see you on the 28th.

RE: BRANDO Split?
Elton here. Apologies for not getting to you all sooner on this but to be honest, I didnt know exactly how or what to say. Firstly, the rumours are true. Brando is no more.
About a month ago Brian informed us that he had had enough of being in the band, and that he was quitting.
We have been together for 6 years, along time by any bands standards. I always thought we were a very good band with better to come. We all played very well (especially Brian), sang well, and had a bunch of good songs we believed in.
When or if I return? Maybe a solo album, maybe not. Maybe another band, maybe not.
This will be our farewell gig.
Cuba, Galway. 20th Nov.
Fri 29th Nov.
For Aids Alliance at Temple Bar Music Centre, 1st
Dec.
Ciao for now.
Love, elton
