Credits

The following three people, along with myself, currently make up the official team behind the website:

• Joe DeRouen - Joe from Arkansas, USA is the person who actually started the Chris de Burgh website over 10 years ago and who put a tremendous amount of energy and time into it during the early years to build up the basic structure. Without him the CdeB website and community would have never existed in the first place.
• Andy Haynes - Andy has been our long time mailing list moderator and is doing a wonderful job in balancing out the sometimes difficult relations between Chris de Burgh fans from all around the world.
• Sandra Pleyer - The guestbook gets an incredible amount of traffic, and Sandra is volunteering to monitor and approve the entries as they come in. Additionally, she is my co-moderator on the recently established Community! Thanks, Sandra!

• Ina Stöcker, Laurent Tomassini, Lourdes Villarreal, Feyzullah Yilmaz, Arash, orthofox, Shallsea, Anneke Jansen and Lisa Hertlein - For their help in moderating parts of the recently established Community!
• Alexander Schestag and Sabine Engelhardt - For hosting and operating the new Chris de Burgh chatroom as part of our community!
• Dave Doohan - From being a longtime moderator of the mailing list to writing a tremendous amount of web pages to programming CGI scripts, Dave has been a driving force behind the website for years. Without him, these pages wouldn't be half as good.
• Mylene Reiners and Doris Neerfries - Mylene and Doris are posting the daily MOtL question and answer to the mailing list for those who prefer reading it in their email box. Also Doris has assisted in uploading the daily MOtL to the website in times when I did not have the time to do so. Thanks!
• The Friends Staff - The Friends of CdeB Pages are a big part of the website, and they wouldn't have been possible without the current staff of John Ardelli, Sergio Carloni, Hélène Dufresne, Baris Evran, Andy Haynes, Heike Henke, Marietta Huelsken, Martin Kraus, Andrea Lucas, Marian Pantano, Mylene Reiners, Laurent Tomassini and Chris Williams.
• James Wilson - For hosting the guestbook and friends pages on his server as well as always offering quick and precise technical help whenever I need it!
• Gunter Kohl - For his valuable help with completing the Single Discography.
• Mylene Reiners and Lisa Hertlein - For their great help by transcribing the concert reviews and press reviews for the website!
• Album reviews and song reviews have been contributed by Bryce Anderson, Steve Bennett, Samantha Cottam, Bree Donovan, Jacqueline Ebner, Inge Egger, Christiane Eggert, Tim Gibbons, Jean Harvey, Steven Lynch, Karen Mandel, Jason L. Morgan, Kelly Preston, David Price, Cesar D. Quintero, Diane Scholfield and Willem de Waal.

• Several Chris de Burgh songs have been transcribed in midi format. Special thanks to: Andrew Claridge, Mark Daly, Kasia Grzybek, Bahman B. Kazemian, Guenter Nagler, Mick O'Neill and Spyros Soldatos for their contributions
• Lance Johnson, Brian Morton, Cesar D. Quintero, Morten Rose, Diana Sanz, Axel Jeder, Chris Williams, Lisa Hertlein, Ulrich Hellenbrand, Claudia Gerike, Ziad Tauk, John Voorpostel and Sabine Engelhardt - for building up the committee of the Chris de Burgh Tribute CD, a regular project among the fans which has been successfully running for the last 8 years.
• John Voorpostel, Rob Skeet, Kathy Hobson, Ziad Tauk, Behrooz Sangani, Sergio Gustavo Carloni, Eberhard Blocher, Chris Williams, Diana Sanz, Kurt Hauke, Bob Tetstall, Marcus Bamford, Dimitra Dourouda, Silvia Eggert, Monika Berndt and John van den Berg - For helping with the distribution of the Chris de Burgh Tribute CD all over the world!
• Ted Turocy - For hosting the mailing list on his server from 1996 to 2001. We've since moved to Yahoogroups, but Ted's generous contributions will never be forgotten.
• Linda Howitt - Linda has been a tremendous help with the website layout during The Storyman layout, as she created many flash graphics, screen savers and banners for our download section and generally helped by giving the Chris de Burgh Website a modern look!
• Doris Neerfries and Kurt Hauke - For organizing the Sunday Yahoo chat every two weeks for the mailing list members before we moved over to our own chatroom on Alex' server.
• Chris Williams - For many things, including announcing birthdays on the mailing list and putting together a birthday and Christmas message book for Chris every year.
• Ian McDonald and Lisa Hertlein - For organizing the "CdeB Santa", a christmas gift exchange among the fans on the mailing list for many years.
• Lore Müller - For maintaining the Concert booking page, where fans can find out who to meet at which show
• Blair Sawler - In 1995, when this website was "unofficial," Blair tracked down the name and fax number for CdeB's management company, inspiring Joe to make contact with them and thus gain "official" recognization for the site.
• Amro Hassanin - It was Amro who, in 1995, encouraged Joe to create the first (black and white, and very sparse) incarnation of the CdeB Website. Without him, these pages might not exist.

• Kenny Thomson - Chris de Burgh's manager. Without his approval, this website would be just one of many unofficial sites. His assistance and contributions have been without compare.
• Loren Wright and Sarah Jane Johnson - Kenny's assistants, and the persons who really get things done! :)
• Mike Paxman - The man behind www.cdeb.net, the Chris de Burgh Online Shop and Merchandising Site. He's the one who inspired us to give cdeb.com a facelift, and he has always been of great help!
• Mike Hrano - The man behind The Official Chris de Burgh Fan Club.
• Chris de Burgh - Of course there'd be no reason for these pages, if it wasn't for CdeB himself. And since 2002 he is even actively involved by contributing his answers to fans questions in the MOtL section. Let's hope for many more years of new and wonderful music by him!

And that's it, at least for now. If I've left someone out, please don't hesitate to write me! There have been many contributions to this site over the years, so it's entirely possible that I've forgotten someone. If so, the omission wasn't intentional, and will be corrected.

All the best,

Astrid Nolde-Gallasch
(Official Chris de Burgh Website Manager)
