January 10:
Sad news as the new year rolled around. Mike Smith, the
producer of Christie's Yellow River
single, passed away shortly before Christmas. Here's an
obituary on the man who is also well-known
for turning down The Beatles when they auditioned for
him.

December 18:
Listen now to the songs and demos that could have made it
on Christie's third album! It
was never released for various reasons. Included is the group's
cover of Tobacco Road, which
features a Paul Fenton drum solo. You can see the link at
Jeff Christie's Facebook
Page. |
November 29:
A montage of pics from
Christie's Singapore show in 1971 has been added
to the gallery. |

November 28:
The two Estonia shows proved very successful for Christie.
The fans, many of whom remembered watching the band at Sopot
in 1970, were thrilled to see Jeff again, and of course
to hear him sing Yellow River
and Iron Horse, the two biggest
Christie hits in that country. The boys are likely to return
to Estonia for a summer festival. You can find out more
about the Estonian adventure by becoming a fan of Jeff's
Facebook page.
Here are Jeff and Fos at one of the Estonian
soundchecks:

Jeff and band played a fantastic show at
Dresden on November 5. And they won't have much time to
rest, because they'll be jetting off to Estonia in a week's
time for another two gigs. Drop by if you're in the area!

November 4:
After popular demand, Jeff is now on Facebook. Please join
up by going to his
PAGE and LIKING it. It will be the main source
of communication between him and his fans and friends. |
November 1:
Sad news that the legendary English
DJ Jimmy Savile has passed away. He was a big fan
and supporter of The Outer Limits and Christie, and worked
with Jeff on numerous occasions on TV, radio and various live
shows. |
October 18:
BEWARE! Another
illegal Christie digital bootleg has been unleashed
on the web. |
October 16:
Here's an interview with Godfrey
Claff, the man who wrote the first song recorded
by The Outer Limits. |
October 2, 2011:
The song
of the week is Woman In Black,
a demo recorded at BBC Leeds' studio at the same time as
Yellow River. The slower lounge-style ballad typifies
Jeff's great versatility when it comes to writing songs of
all genres.
And if you haven't noticed yet, we've been
adding high quality sound to the old Christie videos and uploading
them onto the Christie
youtube channel. Check them out if you haven't
already! |

September 22, 2011:
By popular demand, we've uploaded the complete documentary
Death
Of A Pop Group, which outlines
the demise of The Outer Limits in 1969. In a way, it was
a blessing for Jeff, as he recorded Yellow
River the year after the break-up.

5, 2011:
Christie's back in the UK Top 10. In a way! A double CD
release called Sugar Sugar: Birth
of Bubblegum has shot up the UK Compilation charts
to currently be at No 2. Included on the set are Christie's
Yellow River and San
Bernadino. Next week it could well be sitting in
the top spot.

September 4, 2011:
Here's a treat for Christie fans! Listen to Jeff Christie's
