Where have all the veejays gone?


Those of you who used to watch MTV Europe during the 80's and 90's may be interested in what has happened to all the old Veejays. I often wonder about that myself & have decided to track some ex-Veejays down for you.

I have fired off emails asking for updates from:

So far, I have got news from Steve Blame (see next posting) and am waiting for a promised update from Kimsy. I hope to receive more email adresses soon & will try to get as many blog postings of them all as possible.

I do have to say that it is great to hear about Steve Blame's life. I have always loved and admired him. He is such a talented person & used to be my favorite "partner in crime". Steve and I were pretty wild in the old MTV days. One day I'll write about some of our insane adventures. It is actually amazing we never got fired for the trouble we used to get in to. Anyway, enjoy his update...

Hi Simone,

I just watched your Video to "Let this feeling" on youtube, it is trash deluxe I'd say!!
I loved Mtv in the 90, especially the weekend-specials and all the cool veejays and how you got so close to the stars.
I remember one Madonna-weekend where Hugo de Campo did an amazing interview/story kind of thing with her. When I watched these specials I didn't even dare go to the toilet because they were so good, I almost absorbed everything that was going on at Mtv.
I it just nostalgia or were the 90s really a great musical era?

Greets,

Charlotte

Hi Simone - wow, what a wonderful time you all look like your having - sure beats the madness of london. I was just going through my CD collection and found your single... i forgot how fantastic is was.. well, is... its now on my MP3 player, in the car and with me at the gym... you just dont get good music like that anymore... the early 90's ruled and MTV has never been the same without you - Have always wondered what happened to you and by the wonder of the internet, there you are! Keep up the bloggs, they are great.

John

Ciao Simone,
I'm 37 yo from Italy. In that days I was finishing high school and I begun to study Architecture at the Uni. My favourite at the tome were you, Kristiane Backer and Marjine Van der Vlugt... now I've found this blog that updates me about you, but what about the others?
Thanks a mill and kisses.
Renato.

Where is Carolyn Lilipaly? She was the host of Hit List UK and MTV News at Night. I love all MTV Europe VJ's. I was so sad when July 3rd 1995 MTV Europe go to digitally compressed transmissions.
