Horn resurrects The Buggles to tour with Seal

[Gilly Goodness]

So.

• who will he have in the band? Downes will not be available presumably

• what songs will they do? Any Yes adjacent? Vermillion Sands? Into the Lens? Fly from Here?

• will there be any new music played?

• will Horn play in Seal's band? What does a music director do anyway?

• will Seal do OOALH? As an encore?

Yes, Horn is playing in Seal's band. As musical director, I presume he has some responsibilities around organising the band, maybe picking band members, and over the arrangements played. I wouldn't be surprised at Seal singing something Buggles-y or related.

I presume The Buggles line-up will be close to the 2022 Trevor Horn Band line-up. Indeed, they may make up much of Seal's backing band.

Will there be any new music? I'd guess no. That said, there was talk a few years ago of Horn and Downes getting Seal to sing on a new Buggles song. Could that appear?

Ah, the Beagles!

As per other thread, no evidence Retropop know what they've talking about.

The overlap with the Yes tour tells me it is doubtful that Downes will appear, unless he makes a guest appearance.
