TEARS FOR FEARS David Wernham/Outlaw Management
Document Archive (Vast archive of documents and
correspondence originating from legendary Tears For Fears
tour manager David Wernham, during the period 1985 to
1991. This incredible haul of Outlaw Management documents
relates to every aspect of organising and managing Tears For
Fears tours including UK & Europe Tour 1985, Japan Tour
1985, Hamilton Ontario 1985, Knebworth 1990, UK & Ireland
1990 and World Tour / USA 1990. Absolutely fascinating
reading which records in detail everything involved in
planning, organising and running these logistically
complicated tours. The archive comprises contracts with
numerous venues, cost projections, cash-flow estimates,
lighting plots/proposals, stage plans, trucking quotes &
logistics, tour bus quotes, catering, studio hire, stage hire for
rehearsals, auditions, complete itineraries and amendments,
rooming lists for band and crew, riders, passes, visas and all
manner of sundry activity. Entire folders relate to the 1990
Zen And The Kings Of Bohemia Live tour, with correspondence
stating that Roland's hotel alias is to be Hercules Kelly and
Curt's alias is to be C M Fish. Another fax from Roland details
directions to his remote Wiltshire studio, and a personal note
from David to Curt suggests he tries a new 'mega amp' stating
there are only two of these amps in the country at present,
Paul Mc-somebody has the other one! Interesting and
absorbing, this remarkable archive contains well in excess of
1000 documents. It provides a unique snap-shot of what's
involved in touring with one of the 80s biggest bands. In
addition to all the correspondence & documentation there are
publicity photos, VIP passes, tickets, stickers and a small box
of 35mm slide transparencies. Truly a one-off chance to
crown your TFF collection!)
