craziest thing you've done for Tony/East17   Erm... that one is quite hard... have done much weird stuff(I guess Britt knows what I am talking about..), haven't got any story, but I can mention some stuff I have done...been kinda bathing outside on John's b.day, bought expensive sweathers and stuff to the guys on their b.days, making bri-burgers and john-pizzacake, going around Norway waiting for them for about 10 hours each time in the frosen Norwegian winters; and one time I went to Oslo (with Britt of course) and waited for hours on Gardemoen(airport) for the lads to land... after a while we called up their record company and found out that their visit was cancelled because the show they should perform on was cancelled...Man, that day really sucked!

your story When I met Anthony in London at the 15th January together with my mates Britt, Evy and Emma.. It was fantastic to finally meet Anthony in person after been seing him in concert and talking to him on the phone...Huge thanx to Britt, Evy and Em for going their with me..(I know you wanted it as much as I did, but you had met him before..)thanx for being their with me  and making it one of my best days in my life! Wouldn't have spent that day with anyone about you! Cheers!

why are you a tony fan    it's a so lovely man and he's talentuous
favourite East17 tune and why    Thunder
craziest thing you've done for Tony/East17    We've slalom on the road for hold of Brian's car.
It was really dangerous. But it's not the most craziest thing i've done.
your story   14 April 1999, The evening, we decide to go at Tony's to surroundings of 9h. I ring and in the intercom, it is Tony, I ask him if he can come, he tells me he arrives. 5 minutes later, I see him to arrive, my first words have been how is tall. He has spanned a wall and has been found beside us (my mother and me). He has spoken us his professional and private life and also of his projects. We had brought him presents, he was touched and hyper happy. I have asked him if it was possible to take his house in photos, he has made open the door and taken us in his property and we have been able to take photos of his house. I have also made the knowledge of. .. his black cat (it looks like enormously mine and very affectionate). I have seen by far one of his girls, that had to be Atlanta.
As all the best moments have an end, we have left.
your message to all other fans     Keep lovin' and supportin' Tony
your message to Anthony himself     Tony, stay like you are, you're perfect

likes East17/Tony since   the Stay Another day time
why are you a tony fan   It's my destiny....
favourite East17 tune and why    Stay Another Day - I cried when I heard it for the first time - because I liked it so much!
craziest thing you've done for Tony/East17    craziest....? Walking out of college because I wanted to go to london instead of going on a college trip to spain. Or..... going to live in London for a year... or ..lemme think... waiting outside in the cold... or maybe it's spending all my time on some webpage about Tony. LOL.
your story   my story... it's a long one, but maybe one day i get to finish it. Here the first bit I wrote this back in '96.

How it all started
December 1994 - June 1995
Their music is GREAT, I love them. Not only the music, I love everything about
East 17, untill this day I've loved them with my heart and soul and I always will.
It's difficult to explain how I became a fan of them, but I will try:
Untill the end off 1994 I wasn't a fan, I wasn't a fan of anyone.
Their songs were just nice songs to me, like so much other songs.
But then I heard 'Stay another day', and the words meant a lot to me.
I won't bother you explaining the story behind that.
I can tell you, I cried at an Xmas-party at school while this song was played.
The night after the party I dreamt about East 17, singing on stage at my school
and I was dancing with the lads on stage.
IT WAS A FANTASTIC DREAM ! The first time I had a dream about this band and there were many more to follow
The next day I went shopping to buy the Steam album, but it was sold out
everywhere I went.
A few days later I went to Amsterdam and there I bought the album.
I liked all the songs on Steam, I didn't know most of 'em before buying it.
Still I wasn't a real fan yet.
I wasn't untill the letting off steam tour, their concert at the ahoy' arena in
Rotterdam. (2-6-'95).
After buying "Steam" I said: When East 17 ever come to Holland, for a show, I'll
be there for sure. I was 15 back then.
So time went on, and at a morning I was reading a stupid newspaper.
I was in a terrible mood, like always in the morning before I have to go to school.
The newspaper seemed to be boring, but there was one story wich made me
smile. It was about East 17. They were coming to Holland!!

your message to all other fans   Please don't give up, respect to you all!!!!! 
your message to Anthony himself     I'll be there into eternity!

likes East17/Tony since:    1994 When I first read a little piece in a magazine
about Tony giving up smoking and drinking cos he just had Atlanta. I went "awww" and loved him ever since!
why are you a Tony fan:    Because even today, Tony's lyrics still speak to me. favourite East17 tune and why:    It's Alright, the piano on it makes ME melt, specially the remix.
craziest thing you've done for Tony/East17:    Ok. In 1995, I still lived in South Africa but I heard East17 was playing in Amsterdam on 17 June so I flew all the way over there just to see the guys!!! I can't believe I did that cos it was my whole lives saving gone! But it was worth it. I never got to meet them though, which was a real let down.
your message to all other fans:     Don't give up on Tony!!
your message to Anthony himself:    I love you!!! I always have and always will.

why are you a tony fan because he's soulful and
charismatic. he knows what he's doing and he always does it well. It's still hard to say if there's anyone else in
this world who could make such great songs as Anthony can. he's the best songwriter, honestly. he's made a lot of
difference in my life, he's made me happy and he's given me a lot of joy. And i'm not the only one...
favourite East17 tune and why hard to say, honestly, cos i love all of their songs. but i'll say "Gold", 'cos it was the very first song that i heard and the reason why i got into East 17. :) and the song means a lot to me 'cos it tells about anti-materialism. that's what i'm truly into.
craziest thing you've done for Tony/East17 hmm, ill add that later, ok!!
your story East 17's always gonna be a part of my life. i'm gonna move to my own flat next year and some of those East 17 posters/pictures/photos are definitely gonna be on my walls to remind me of the good times i had during the last decade. it was special and i never wanna forget it. and i wouldn't be the person i am if East 17 hadn't have been a part of my life. so i owe them a massive thank you. :)
your message to all other fans i hope you won't give up on the lads even though
they're not in the media these days - real love never dies. if you want to talk about East 17, you can always send email to me. i'll try my best to answer - my computer's quite messed up at the moment but sooner or later i should have a pretty damn good connection!!
your message to Anthony himself i miss you. that's for starters. i haven't forgotten you and i never will. i just wish i knew what you'reup to these days and hope you're okay. :) i wish you well throughout your whole life 'cos you honestly deserve to live a happy life. :)

Likes East 17/Tony since: Its Alright actually got me payin some attention to the charts for a change, then when iheard Stay Another Day i bought Steam, and thought hell I love this stuff, I was sure that East 17 or at least Tony has some thoughts and feelings in common with me cause the music expressed heaps of my feelings and it was as if i had heard it before or was meant to hear it....seemed to umm, set the spheres spinning..for those who know what im on about..
Why are you a Tony fan: Because im sure we have some stuff in common, the sounds of the music seems to align with the vibes of feelings ive had, no other music hits the mark in the same way, and in all the interviews with Tony he has been spot on in his comments, what he stands for is excellent and im happy someone makes music bout it.
craziest thing you've done for Tony/East17: Hmmm... making the 1st Tony Mortimer page on the internet and maintaining it in the hope that one day it will lead to me meeting Tony or in some way promote Tonys music to new fans or even a record company!
your message to other fans: Keep at it, if you ever doubt Tony and his talents what should you do ? get a good set of earphones and listen to some of his old work ! feel the backbeats and cool sounds Tony has incorporated , listen to his unique messages, and consider how many years it has been since he wrote that wonderful stuff and how much further he will have advanced by now!
Your message to Anthony himself: Your music is fantastic, I love everthing it stands for, no other musician has come close as far as writing music Ican relate to or that does such trippy things to me   :o) I know the deeper messages and perhaps some other things you weave through your music, we hunger for more!! keep it up man, so many people love it more than anything else and have been waiting patiently for your return...
