Skelly 261 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 In 1990 a John Williams Society was founded in France by Yann Merluzeau, and he published a newsletter called "Cantina Band" (journal de la société John Williams). Over the years Merluzeau interviewed big names like Kamen, Delerue, and Williams himself, and published them in his mag. I did a search and apparently this newsletter has never been mentioned on JW Fan before, which surprised me. Does anyone have any information about this?

Thor 7,478 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I remember it well. I might even have a copy or two in my magazine collection. But I never subscribed or anything. WilliamsStarShip2282 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Andrade 1,262 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I have most of the issues, though only copies, as I found out about it after the end of the newsletter/society. I did try to contact Merluzeau but with no success. Besides some wonderful interviews and articles on Williams and company (I recall quite interesting interviews with the late Leslie Bricusse, Ken Wannberg and Bruce Broughton) there was a huge discography he was compiling, including all available knwon recordings and re-recordings of Williams' music.

Does the Bricusse interview mention anything about Hook? I remember reading an article where someone close to JW spoke about Julie Andrews having recorded Childhood. Any chance you could scan and post some of the articles Miguel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,178 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 French name? Huge discography? Must be Bespin! He then fled to Canada after embezzling JTWfan's money. 1977 and Miguel Andrade 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
