WEEKLY ROUND-UP

It’s been a busy week for us at REMHQ, catching up from last week’s fun at Finest Worksongs and the Georgia Music Hall of Fame induction show in Atlanta. It was a great time and a tremendous honor for the band to be inducted, as reflected by Michael’s eloquent, stirring induction speech, not to mention the fact that Peter, Mike, and Bill played the closing number with Gregg Allman, who was also inducted.

Here’s a quick round-up of some things we’ve seen this week that might be worth your attention and time:

1) GPTV will re-air the Georgia Music Hall of Fame show tonight at 9 PM for those within reach of the signal. You can find out more about the broadcast by clicking here.
2) As we posted on remhq.com yesterday, MIchael’s interview with Edith Bowman of BBC Radio 1 is now available on her site for streaming. The interview took place 2 weeks ago during Michael’s press junket for the release of And I Feel Fine…The Best of the I.R.S. Years. Click here to listen.
