In a couple of weeks time, Monkey Business will be in Los Angeles with Glenn and they will film the second video for the song, “Gumball“, which of course, features Glenn, along with one other song, “The History Of Pathos“.
Says Glenn…”It’s far and wide the best band! It fits perfectly with what I want to do, Glenn Hughes with funk and rock. I got lucky enough that i can sing funk, rock, jazz, soul and rhythm and blues and this team allows me to do just that.”
Meantime, here is a link to the first video for the song, “Who Killed My Libido?“, parts of which were filmed at the recent gig back in December, when coincidentally, Glenn appeared live with the band in Prague, Czech Republic.
Glenn is very happy to announce that he is to perform with his band in Belgrade, Serbia on WEDNESDAY, MAY 13th, 2009.
The venue is: Dom Omladine Beograd (Belgrade’s Youth Centre)

Tickets should be on sale in early February from: http://www.eventim-yu.com and from the venue ticket office.
Incidentally, this will be Glenn’s first concert in Belgrade since March 1975, when he last played there with Purple during the final tour that MKIII did with Ritchie Blackmore.
Glenn is very happy to confirm that he has been invited back to KAVARNA, Bulgaria by his good friend Tsonko Tsonev, the Mayor of Kavarna, to perform a special free concert on WEDNESDAY, MAY 6th, 2009. This is also the Bulgarian National holiday of St. George’s Day.
The concert will take place in the evening at Dobrotitsa Square (Main Central Square).

Glenn has also been asked to officially open the national Bulgarian Marathon race which will take place in Kavarna on Saturday, May 9th. In previous years, the race was held in Sofia, and this will be the first year that the race will be held in Kavarna. The race will feature athletes from across the world taking part. Glenn and the band will not be amongst them!
