Talk:Del Amitri

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wow! I was surprised to find such a complete history of Del Amitri in here already. They are my favorite band and I was ready to publish some basic info just so they would be listed. I never expected to find the complete history (and correct info of that matter) of the band listed already. Good job to the author. I like how you added the UDS listing at the end *wink*

[edit] On the name

I was unaware of the theory that the band's name is Greek. The story I heard was that "Del Amitri" is old Scottish or Gaelic for "Among Friends". Anyone else heard this? Robert 07:14, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Never heard that one! The official website used to have a list of incorrect theories, but that's not around any more. Angmering 10:40, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Andy Alston is my lecturer at Uni. I could ask him what the name means. Sefiros 18:19, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually mean anything, but by all means ask. :-) (You may have to retreat to a safe distance, mind...) While you're at it, could you ask him if he knows when Justin's solo album is coming out? Angmering 21:33, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

According to Justin's myspace page he has just agreed a deal with a US record company to release the album, no date confirmed yet though.

[edit] shortest song?

I seem to remember hearing that 'roll to me' was the shortest song ever to chart (or reach the top 10, maybe?); is this a fact, and should it be mentioned? --147.134.45.215 13:09, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

It is not the shortest song to chart. Adam Faith's "What do you want?" (1959) is 1:59, and it reached #1 on the British charts.--Nufftin 14:39, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
