More on Lifehouse

["Tom Connor" <tom.connor@lineone.net>]

Lifehouse is definatly on for a premiere on Radio 3 in December. Having bought a copy of The Independant newspaper, on which is a half page picture of Pete on the cover, details of rehearsals (with a cast including Geraldine James, David Threlfall, Kelly McDonald and an 11 year old Philip Dowling) having started are revealed.

 

The report claims that Townshends ideas of 1971 "foretold the coming of the internet and the wide world web". The report opens with "A new chapter is about to be written in the history of rock" and describes Lifehouse with "it's musical content and it's prophetic storyline" as "a lost classic".

 

The finished Lifehouse will apparently include WGFA, BBE and BO'riley, all to be sung by Townshend as well as several new compositions. However no dertails are revealed as to what will happen to Lifehouse after it's premiere, while there is no mention of Daltrey or Entwistle playing any part in the final proceedings.
