Full Q: I was just wondering if it's true that your partnership with Robbie Williams is over. I heard that he is going back to his old songwriting partner Guy Chambers. And that he stopped working with you. Can you confirm this?

A: Please note that duffypedia is not the official Stephen Duffy & the Lilac Time website, but a site created and maintained by their fans. Stephen and Nick support us, so we can keep the website up to date and have put a link on www.thelilactime.com, but we are not in a position to make any official statements about the Duffy/Williams collaboration. As far as we know it was always meant to be only a couple of songs. This turned into a whole album and a world tour, but currently Stephen is working on his own recordings and a DVD.

You can get in touch with Stephen directly via www.thelilactime.com The emails addressed to him will be forwarded, but a reply is not guaranteed of course.

A: You can find a lot of tabs, including those for The Deal, over at millersounds.co.uk:

Full Q: There is a woman talking at the end of the recording. She is not speaking in English. What language is it, and what is she talking about?

A: The woman is speaking in Hindi or some other Indian dialect. Stephen said "Hindi", when they played A Day In The Night at the Hereford gig in August 2007, but that could have been unprecise. Unfortunately we do not have a translation.
