In a slightly different role, Oposium frontman Richard McLester was asked to perform at the recent Civic Awards at Poole Lighthouse for the Mayor of Poole. Richard played background music throughout the meal and then performed the famous Liebestraeume No. 3 in front of the 500 guests. Sam Hanson (Mr Brain) also accompanied soprano soloist Sophie Ackroyd who performed 3 classical pieces.



As a result, IssTV interviewed Richard and broadcast the interview from their online television channel. Watch the interview >> here!



In other news, Oposium can announce that a new EP is in the making! We'll be bringing all the latest updates before the month is out ... !

Oposium.com caught the band just before Christmas began and managed to grab a quick interview...

OC: 2009 has been pretty busy for Oposium in general, what would you say was the most defining moment of last year?

Oposium: Probably either the piano being set on fire for the first time as no-one really knew what was going to happen! Or seeing the album go on the shelves in HMV. Both were pretty cool...



OC: So what new projects will we see from Oposium next year [2010]?

Oposium: The most exciting project on the cards at the moment is that we're producing a new EP that we'll be releasing early next year.

There'll be new videos forthcoming, as well as a new charity single. Roots To Routes with whom we've worked alongside for over 2 years now have given us the go ahead to do a charity single and we'll be shooting a film to promote that.

Alongside that we'll also be releasing an international Oposium fashion brand. This is a really forward looking project and we're extremely excited to be part of this.

OC: Great, it sounds like you'll be kept on your toes then! Are there any more concerts forthcoming?

Oposium: We won't be doing any large scale concerts until the end of March as we want to concentrate on the new music. Sam [Mr Brain] is also moving house so we want to support him in that and David [Professor StiX] is just on tour in Austria & Germany until mid March. It gives us a bit of breathing space to get these new projects up and running and then we'll go back out and play again after that; we know we've already got a couple of bookings so a small tour will probably be on the cards...

OC: We'll look forward to that then - wish you all the best!

Oposium: Thanks!
