VH1's Bands Reunited was an amazing experience.  I was the consulting
producer and talent producer for both seasons (and we might have a few
more shows still to come!).  It involved a lot of travelling - more than 100,000
miles including six trips across the Atlantic and who knows how many all over
America.
The really cool thing for me was that I got to meet up with some old friends
from back in the day - the guys from Frankie, Mike Peters from The Alarm, my
ex-girlfriend Terri Nunn of Berlin, Nicky Beggs from Kajagoogoo (and his
lovely wife Anne), Martin Fry of ABC and so many others.  The experience for
all of the bands who took part in the show was one of joy and healing.  At first
they were nervous about doing the reunion, but after persuasion from our
brilliant host Aamer Haleem, they embraced the opportunity.  Terri told me it
made her believe in God!  Wow!
Below are some shots from the show.  I'll update them each week with more
photos (I took over a thousand) so check back for an intimate look at some of
your favorite groups 'behind the scenes'.
