I've seen an awful lot of bands getting back together.

Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and The Who reform especially for the Live Aid event.

And other bands have got back together too.

There's been Aerosmith and The Gods.

The one band who are back together as well is UFO.

And with me today I have Phil Mogg, the singer of UFO.

Phil, the line -up today is kind of different to the UFO I remember, what people might consider the classic UFO line -up of many years ago.

Why did you decide to keep the UFO name?

um it wasn't out of kind of choice the original choice it's just one of those things that um

we looked around for a name at the time and it was suggested that we said ufo it wasn't

any particular reason it was the easiest thing to do um

but having used the name it's kind of a double double -edged sword

that it sort of goes against us as for you know we we have to deliver the goods

or not you've got quite a lot to live up to

people have very fond memories of UFO yeah they're possibly retired now

and now it's not that long no no no

but it was just one of those things it was the

easiest thing for us to do at the time was just viable to do

that sort of thing

but as you say it has put you under a certain amount of pressure it means you can't go

and play the marquee because the name is

so strong you've got to go

and play much larger venues these days well we could play the marquee

but they haven't offered us a gig really it's closing down soon

so you better help you want to get in there poor old jack um

it was just one of those things we needed a name and

that was the easiest thing to you know for us to

do we've gone through all the other combinations of names

and um i don't know ufo just seemed all right i

just thought as long as we deliver the goods above and beyond the previous

ufo

that will be fine well that's what i was going to

say how do you feel this lineup compares with past lineups

i think i think it's very good i think it's far above what we've previously done from 1978 onwards

and um with the lineup we've got with tommy

and uh paul gray jim simpson blah blah life it's a

very hot band it seemed to me there was a time

when you became very disenchanted with the band and weren't taking it all

that seriously how do you feel about ufo today is it much more exciting for you now yeah sure um

that towards the end it was um it was a bit kind of glib and

album tour album tour no time off

and you lose you tend to lose the essence of what

you're supposed to be doing whereas we've got this perfectly in place with this line up at the moment

because you've just been on tour in the UK you played Hammers with Odeon quite recently how's

that show did the audience respond as you thought they would

oh unbelievable it was like Chelsea playing on top on a

Saturday afternoon no it was real good no I went to

the show it was like being at a football match there was lots of chanting

and singing along must be very pleased with the way

that show went yeah because but the the tour before the year before

which was kind of a build -up tour and what we're basically doing is

structuring rebuilding a kind of thing

and it's a step beyond from the year before I thought

I enjoy it now we're right at the end of 1985 now

when you look back on the year what's your fondest memory recording the new album misdemeanor

or doing this UK tour I think getting the album out basically is finishing the album, getting it out

because things were in the dark for quite a while for about a year and a half so actually doing the album, getting it out and everything, doing the tour it was great,

it was a bit like coming back Yes, a resurrection you might say Well you could say that I suppose,

yeah Let's say resurrection, it's a nice word, let's say it Now you've played the UK, are you going to be touring Europe fairly soon?

Hopefully not No, apparently in January, I think we're going across Europe,

but only a few places, and then straight off to America.

Do you know which countries you'll be visiting in Europe?

Has that been decided?

It's kind of maybe Ireland, maybe Scandinavia, all that.

It's all the maybes at the moment.

But hopefully we should do that thing through Germany, Scandinavia, Germany, couple of dates in Italy, back to England and then off to America.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
