19:47 Edit This

Hi everybody,

so here we are with the official announcement about The Watch new bass player:

after some years of a great time together we want to whish mr Guglielmo Mariotti all the best for his new family commitments. Though he left the band without any prior warning, leaving us all in big troubles, we want to thank him for the nice time we had together and for being part of The Watch family.

Now, please join us to welcome Mr Stefano Castrucci as a new member of our team, looking after bass guitar, 12 strings acoustic, 12 strings electric guitars and bass pedals duties… rehearsals sound great and he is a very kind and well mannered person, which for us is even more important than being a super talented music.. hehe, well he is both so we are looking forward to introducing him to all our friends and supporters..

Cheers and meet you all soon on the road !!

Thank you,

THE WATCH

THE WATCH NEW SHOW and TOUR 2013 !!

11:22 Edit This

The Watch are back in 2013 with a brand new show showcasing 1977 s live masterpiece Seconds Out!

The band s unique approach together with a vocalist considered by all the most Gabriel-esque ever, will give the opportunity to hear the magnificent songs of the first Collins era in a totally unexpected way!

The pre 1975 compositions are the equivalent of a musical time machine, just close your eyes and there you are, back in the first half of the seventies!

Original band compositions, well known for their unique twists and turns in keeping with their progressive roots, will of course be played alongside the classics as many fans of the band all over the world know by now. A show not be missed!
