| My name
is Anco Van Hall, nickname "Hall-ey", and I'd like to introduce to you "The
Five Star Channel" on the above address. As a huge fan of family popgroup Five Star,
I decided to start a fanpage back in March 1999, called: "A Fresh Five Star Fanpage". It did appear on the net but because of unfortunate circumstances it never really took off. I was determined to get a better one started on later that year. Everything was ready, the ideas, the stories, even the graphics I worked on all those months..., but no proper web-program. Until I started to work with Aaron, a good friend of mine who teached me how to work with professional design software & the "html-language", thank you man, you're the best! Finally at the 28th of November 1999 the page spurted out from my hard-disc into cyberspace, celebrated with a nice bottle of champaign! Right after the launch the reactions of Five Star-fans were more then fantastic. Even Five Star father/manager Mr. Buster Pearson reacted and called this site "brilliant". Because of all the positivity my motivation to try and bring Five Star back in the music-media is still growing. I'd like to think that I already helped a bit in 2000... Some of The Five Star Channel's achievements: - Week 9, 2000: "Website Of The Week" at eil.com (online music shop), address sent to over 28000 (!) subscribers. - Confirmed and appreciated by Buster, The Five Star Channel is getting official News through different representative sources, coming directly from TENT. - July 2000: UK Popmag "Smash Hits" confirmed reading this site while giving Five Star a "Coolest Top 20"-position. They mentioned this site, but not by name. - July 2000: the "Radioscope" website gives this site a mention together with Mr. Buster Pearson as a source for Five Star's comeback. - August 2000: The well respected "Blues & Soul" magazine states this site to be "the group's website". - September 2000: The Five Star Channel is mentioned in US r&b "Fresh Magazine". - November 2000: Several music-websites are stating Five Star's comeback, with The Five Star Channel as resource. - December 2000: An unique remix project is started on this site, with a conclusion in 2001. |
