<b><span style="font-size: large;">There is STILL time to get tickets! </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Neil one of Stonedeaf's organisers says: <i>About 18 months ago a bunch of us from the Donington Vets page on Facebook started talking about how expensive festivals had become and that whilst they (the festivals) are great fun the music has become the side show. The heavy rock family spirit has been diluted and we wanted a bit of it back. Stonedeaf was born.</i></span></b><br />
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></i>
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">This weekend won’t be huge numbers wise (2000 plus), the stage won’t be the size of a block of flats and it wont be anywhere near the intense and overwhelming experience a lot of us had at the old Monsters Of Rock shows. ...... BUT what we hope it will be is a throwback to that rock community feeling that being a "HEAVY" meant to us all. A show primarily about our love for heavy music and our fellow rockers and not for some sideshow entertainment :) A festival you can let your hair down at and not care, take a few beers into the arena, not get ripped off, park for free, not be bothered about the size of bag you take in, chat to other rockers and generally chill out like we used to. Old school stuff we all miss.</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></i>
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Its been a rollercoaster ride for all the committee members, production team and volunteers but its now here. It's now only a few days away. If you’re coming then see you soon, if you know of someone still unsure then see what you feel like on Saturday and <u>just jump in your car and pay £50 on the gate. You wont regret it, it's gonna be a blast.</u></span></b></i><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Paul Carrack returns </b>with a brand new studio album and is ready to reach new heights with <b>'These Days’</b>, which will be released on <b>7th September</b> on his <b>own record label, Carrack-UK</b>. <b>( available to pre-order on CD & Vinyl. )</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In addition to the release of These Days, Paul will embark on an<b> extensive 30-date UK tour for 2019,</b> which begins on <b>18th January in Liverpool’s Philharmonic Hall,</b> and ends on <b>24th March at The Lowry in Salford.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">‘<b>These Days</b>’ is Paul's<b> 17th album</b>, a run that began way back in 1980, but which has been building real, independent momentum since he formed his record label in 2000 with the landmark <b>'Satisfy My Soul' </b>album release.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A brief glimpse into the career...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Paul’s breakthrough moment came when he wrote and sang <b><i>'How Long'</i></b>, the much-covered 1974 classic from his days with<b> Ace,</b> and was the voice of <b><i>'Tempted</i></b>' from his tenure with <b>Squeeze.</b> Then came such hits with <b>Mike + the Mechanics</b> as<b><i> 'The Living Years</i></b>' and<b><i> 'Over My Shoulder',</i></b> the latter a <b>co-write </b>with <b>Mike Rutherford</b>. Not to mention that another co-write,<b><i> 'Love Will Keep Us Alive</i></b>', was covered by <b>the Eagles</b> and <b>won a hugely prestigious ASCAP Award as Song of the Year.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b>
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Diana Ross</b>, covered Carrack's co-write with <b>Nick Lowe, '<i>Battlefield</i>',</b> and as an in-demand collaborator, Paul's <b>decades of distinction </b>include sessions with the <b>Smiths, Roxy Music, B.B. King and countless others, </b>culminating in a <b>request from Eric Clapton</b> to join his touring band. That rare honour comes up-to-date in the summer of 2018 with their homecoming performance in London's Hyde Park.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Since the turn of the century, instead of making other artists look great, Paul has quietly built a huge, loyal fan base, an audience that not only devours his albums, but turns out to see his frequent, extensive tours in their thousands. He's done that the only way he knows; making high-quality, accessible pop-soul with unmissable hooks and lyrics that say something about all of our lives.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That's truer than ever on 'These Days'. The album's stunning line-up features Paul on keyboards and guitar and regular bandmate Jeremy Meek on bass, joined by Robbie McIntosh (Paul McCartney, Pretenders, Norah Jones, John Mayer) on lead guitar and drummer Steve Gadd, Paul's Eric Clapton bandmate who has graced the work of everyone from Steely Dan to James Taylor.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As if their exemplary playing wasn't enough, the album's horn section is hand-picked and overseen by the mighty Pee Wee Ellis, the American saxophone ace who was an integral part of James Brown's shows and records of the vintage 'Cold Sweat' era. Five tracks on 'These Days' have lyrics by Paul's friend, former Squeeze bandmate and consummate wordsmith Chris Difford.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As usual, the new songs started in Carrack's home studio, but they came to life in a different and exciting way this time. “<b><i>I don't write a song and then do a demo</i></b>,” he explains. “I<b><i>t's a little nugget of an idea and I start messing about with it, chipping away and it becomes something. Usually, that's completed and that becomes the album.</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“<b><i>In this case, I took a lot of the songs quite a way, but then we decided we wanted to make it a bit more performance-based and with some other influences. I've been playing with Eric for about five years now, and I just mentioned it to Steve Gadd, was it something he might be interested in, and he was very keen.”</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When Gadd said he'd be coming through the UK on the way home from a European tour with Chick Corea, Paul seized the moment and booked into Air Studios in London for three days to cut a dozen tracks as a band, before taking it back to his home studio.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Plenty of the songs, from the title track to 'Where Does The Time Go', 'The Best I Could' and 'Dig Deep' strike a glass-half-full, pensive mood about the long road travelled and the adventures still to come. “<b><i>When I think about it, we've come a long, long way</i></b>,” as Paul sings on the typically catchy and beguiling <b><i>'Amazing'.</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There was another moment of reflection when Carrack came to choose the striking cover image for the album, as he rifled through a box of his late father's photographs<b><i>. “When you go through these things, you realise you've come a hell of a long way,</i></b>” he muses. The gorgeous image is of Paul's brother. “<b><i>That's us on holiday,” he says. “We're living it large there; I think it's probably the Isle of Wight. Man, that was exotic back in the day. We had pretty humble beginnings.”</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">‘<b><i>These Days’ is grown-up pop music made by, and for, people who've had the ups and downs that life unfailingly provides. “It's about getting to an age, and appreciating what you've got,</i></b>” says Carrack. <b><i>“I hope it will resonate with people who are going through the same stuff. It's not being frightened of it, and just trying to enjoy it.”</i></b></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“Kaiser Chiefs have done rather well out of having ideas above our station,” decides frontman Ricky Wilson, “Making our first album, we weren’t trying to be the best indie band in Leeds. We weren’t even just competing with guitar bands. Almost by accident, we were competing with Girls Aloud”.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Funny how things turn out. Fast-forward through the years and the girlband have split, reformed and split again. Kaiser Chiefs, meanwhile, have managed to lose only one member and presented multiple albums</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">. “<b><i>Groups are often at war — with their label, their management, with each other — and you can’t write great material when you’re like that.</i></b>” </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Tracks such as <b><i>Oh My God </i></b>kick-started a run of hits that also includes<b> <i>I Predict A Riot</i>, <i>Everyday I Love You Less And Les</i>s, <i>Never Miss A Beat</i> and the Number One single <i>Ruby</i></b><i>.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Mercury nominated debut album Employment propelled the band to three Brit Awards wins and its successor, Yours Truly, Angry Mob, went twice-platinum in the UK alone.</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then, of course, came 'The Wobble', including the departure of founding member <b>Nick Hodgson.</b> The pop history books all warn us that this should have signposted the end of the band on a creative and commercial level</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“<b><i>Most sane people would have given up,</i></b>” says Ricky, but in a chapter of the Kaiser Chiefs story that might as well be titled <i>Escape From Indie Landfill</i>, Ricky appeared on primetime television as a coach on <b>The Voice.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b></b>Shortly afterwards the band’s fifth album <b>Education, Education, Education & War became their </b>first Number One in seven years. When it did so, Ricky tweeted:<b> “I love it when a plan comes together.”</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> It’s tempting to place all the credit on Ricky’s increased UK media profile, but that doesn’t explain the album also becoming Kaiser Chiefs’ <b>first Number One in New Zealand, and the highest-charting of their career in the US.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“<b><i>We suddenly thought, wow, we weren’t dead weight after all,” Ricky laughs. “It was about proving it to ourselves as much as to anyone else. Thinking about it now, that success was all about turning the boat around”</i></b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>“We might never get to the point where we can sit in an armchair with our arms behind our heads and go: ‘lads, we’ve done it’. But at the same time, maybe that’s why, later, Kaiser Chiefs are still here”.</i></b></span><br />

<br />
The UK is not somewhere we usually think of when it comes to a 'heatwave' but even so, we are set to bake and bask in the sun for around another four weeks according to weather forecasters who are expecting 'very little rain and high temperatures throughout the month',<br />
<br />
There is a heightened risk of grass and forest fires as the hot temperatures continue to soar. At Saddleworth Moor, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service are still tackling blazes dozens of fire crews and soldiers remain on the hills between Tameside and Oldham as the enormous moor fire continues.<br />

<br />
Hosepipe bans are already in place in some areas such as Northern Ireland where householders have been banned from using hosepipes to water flowers and lawns and face fines of up to £1,000 if caught. doing so. (The use of watering cans is still allowed )<br />
<br />
These bans are likely to spread to other parts of the UK. It is vital we all try to conserve water., a sensible approach means taking measures such as not leaving the tap running while you are brushing your teeth, taking a quick shower instead of a bath and watering your garden with rain from a water butt can make a huge difference to water supply levels. Water is precious. We can not waste it.<br />

The original <b>Dr Feelgood guitarist</b> known for his<b> incredible distinctive chopping guitar style</b>. Wilko had gone on to find further success with <b>Ian Dury & The Blockheads</b> and after teaming up with <b>Roger Daltrey</b> on 2014’s <i><b>Going Back Home</b></i>. An <b>album of the year</b> it featured reworkings of songs from Wilko’s Dr Feelgood days such as ‘<b><i>All Through The City</i></b>’ and ‘<b><i>Going Back Home</i></b>’.<br />
<br />
<br />
In <b>Sept 2017</b>, Wilko celebrated his <b>70th birthday</b> by playing a sold-out show at the world famous <b>Albert Hall</b> in London.<br />

Recently Wilko & I braved telephone technical traumas<b>*</b> to have a chat about his forthcoming new album<b> Blow Your Mind</b> (out June 15th) and his May tour (with <b>Hugh Cornwell </b>and a host of others as special guests ) (<i>*Ok, suffice to say HE braved it, I got rather flustered and ended up nervous, as there is nothing worse when trying to do an interview by phone, and there are problems with said phone! Upside to that was I got an impromptu lesson in breathing exercises, so can add that next to getting my rain-soaked hair towel dried by James Brown & his bodyguards at Glastonbury, filed under Weirdly Wonderful Interview Moments</i> ;-) )<br />
<br />
This interview aired on <b>Radio Deeside</b> May 7th 2018 and variations of it will be airing on a couple of other radio stations, a full transcript is forthcoming but for now, enjoy a taster below :<br />

<b>WJ</b>: I just really like playing you know. I'm just really glad to be out doing gigs. We've just done a tour of Finland, we were putting in the new songs from the new album and going very good, yeah that's what it's about for me. Finland, now there's a place, I like it there, very very mysterious.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>MM</b>: This album (<b>Blow Your Mind</b>) is the first one in thirty years?</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>WJ</b>: (starts laughing) You see that's what they're saying after roughly asking me how many records, I mean I haven't made many records right, and I think I forgot 2 or 3, (laughs) so they worked out it's been 30 years but maybe it just feels that way!</blockquote>

<b>WJ: </b>That whole album is really strange to me you know, because I was expecting to die of cancer, they told me I had 10 months, I think it was in the 11th month, Roger got in touch with me and said 'let's do this album' so we just went and did it. I never even thought I would see it released, then, in fact, it was enormously successful, most of which I missed because by then I'd had my operation and I was lying in hospital in a stupour, so I kind of missed it all so that whole album is kind of strange, good though!</blockquote>

Warning: By the end of this post you may have the words and beats ' <i>No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no there's no limit</i>' going around your head, and if that excites you and makes you jump up to dust off your clubbing gear and dance shoes then you will be very happy to know you have the chance on <b>May 5</b> in <b>MANCHESTER</b> to <b>re-live</b> and go back to the 90’s clubbing scene - <b>RHYTHM OF THE 90’s</b> are here with a Spring 2018 - UK Tour, to relive the dream, so get down to Manchester – <b>Club Academy </b>on Saturday 5th May.<br />
<br />
<br />
Since their inception in 2012, Rhythm of the 90’s have become THE band to get any party started!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy2ex3C0YFOyx8JvG-ruyA68gjIKuJNBcNhqLfyRmvBSvi9KI7_0fvvte340u9r1Szm9k4EcEgbCpxq3ApENk8-_rGs_7RX4vPnL7ENkexjTU3YMnJm44UAL8-6H3Db6HfW44x2KIPOUyn/s1600/ROT90s.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy2ex3C0YFOyx8JvG-ruyA68gjIKuJNBcNhqLfyRmvBSvi9KI7_0fvvte340u9r1Szm9k4EcEgbCpxq3ApENk8-_rGs_7RX4vPnL7ENkexjTU3YMnJm44UAL8-6H3Db6HfW44x2KIPOUyn/s400/ROT90s.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Armed with only 2 simple ideas, to bring the best dance hits from this seminal decade back to the masses - and to perform them <b>FULLY LIVE</b>! This 7 piece band have found themselves in the eye of the 90’s nostalgia whirlwind and have taken the UK by storm with sold out show after show across the country, reaching crowds sizes of 20,000 people all bouncing along to all their favourite 90’s hits.<br />
<br />
With highly acclaimed performances at <b>Glastonbury, Isle of Wight</b> and<b> Latitude </b>festivals and <b>main stage slots</b> at <b>Love Saves the Day, Mutiny</b> and <b>Victorious Festival</b> the popularity of the band just keeps on growing. It’s only a matter of time before they have the whole of Europe dancing, wearing dungarees and dusting off something called shell suits.<br />
<br />
To quote the revered 90’s philosophers <b>2 Unlimited </b>“There’s No Limit” and Rhythm of the 90 ’s fully intend to prove it.<br />
<br />
If you remember when rhythm was a dancer and groove was in the heart, (or like me, a fairly new convert to that 90s sound ) then I am sure you will love this show.<br />

'My Time'<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
On <b>1st June 2018</b>, former <b>Big Country bassist Tony Butler</b> will release his <b>debut solo</b> album <b>‘My Time’</b> on <b>Phoenix Rising Records</b>.<br />
<br />
<b>Butler’s debut album </b>arrives after <b>40 years</b> working in the music industry, having worked with the likes of <b>Pete Townshend, Chrissie Hynde, Ray Davies, Steve Lillywhite, Roger Daltrey, Nils Lofgren</b> and<b> Siouxsie Sioux, </b>before becoming a <b>founding member</b> of <b>Big Country,</b> who would go on to sell <b>over 10 million records</b>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAFWukcZABc5JMUWVx3uMuh6bq9aYTKXULLhI1tYeW_iLv9gKQc3MJMNWN1J3PlMzlsDusgikF_Zj2bqQ-zruuycLLG8-vHCtIHrX8cJyT6WXxB8v_I4r8M7uGQOFps_SRgQ1dHeZNPwra/s1600/TonyButlerMyTimeAlbCover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="699" data-original-width="700" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAFWukcZABc5JMUWVx3uMuh6bq9aYTKXULLhI1tYeW_iLv9gKQc3MJMNWN1J3PlMzlsDusgikF_Zj2bqQ-zruuycLLG8-vHCtIHrX8cJyT6WXxB8v_I4r8M7uGQOFps_SRgQ1dHeZNPwra/s400/TonyButlerMyTimeAlbCover.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
While Butler sings and plays <b>electric, acoustic </b>and <b>bass</b> guitars throughout the album, <b>‘My Time’</b> includes <b>contributions</b> from Big Country drummer <b>Mark Brzezicki</b>, who plays on four of the album’s eleven tracks (<b><i>‘She’s Coming Home’, ‘Scared to the Bone’, ‘My Big Ferrari Heart’</i></b> and <b>‘I’m Getting Old’</b>) and Big Country’s long-time touring keyboard player <b>Josh Phillips</b> (‘I’m Getting Old’).<br />
<br />
“<b><i>After years of working with some of the finest songwriters, musicians, producers and, of course, Big Country, I feel that this time is ‘My Time’ to put myself out there; apprenticeship well and truly served.</i></b>” <b>-Tony Butler</b><br />
<br />
After Big Country singer<b> Stuart Adamson</b>’s untimely passing in December 2001, Butler harboured a deep desire not to be involved in the music business, so ruled out all opportunities to become part of any ‘supergroups’. Instead, Butler became a music lecturer at a college in Devon.<br />
<br />
Despite his initial reluctance, Big Country reformed in <b>2010</b> with <b>The Alarm</b>’s <b>Mike Peters</b>’ on vocal duties and embarked on two <b>sell-out </b>UK tours.<br />
<br />
However, while the tours were hugely successful, Butler was unhappy with the new material the new line-up had begun to write, amongst other things, so made the difficult decision to leave the group in August 2012 - which led Butler to the proverbial crossroads of his life.<br />
<br />
In the summer of 2013, Tony started to enjoy writing again and set about the task of writing his debut solo album with renewed vigour. He also began writing a <b>book </b>charting the demise (from his viewpoint) of the post-Adamson line-up of Big Country, called ‘<b>Then Came the Great Divide</b>’.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Being managed once again by former Big Country manager <b>Ian Grant </b>gave Butler the confidence to see the project through. Butler said, “<b><i>After mixing and mastering the album I presented it to Ian, which would be the real acid test. Fortunately, he really liked it and, all of a sudden, the project would be real</i></b>.”<br />
<br />
<br />
“<b><i>I felt I had finally earned the right to take a central role for the first time, to be able to put together a musical project that is essentially about my life, loves and tragedies is something that I have owed myself for a long time.</i></b>” -<b>Tony Butler</b><br />
<br />

<br />
Tony started recording the backing tracks for the album while he was still teaching, and it was here that he really started to conceptualise the basic premise of the album. “<b><i>I then went onto recording everything else at my new studio</i>,” says Butler.</b> “<b><i>I commandeered one of the rooms in my partner’s house, where I spent a very enjoyable period completing the album. I was able to spend a lot more time working on the lyrics, as by this time I had ended my employment at the college.</i></b>”<br />
<br />
<br />
The lyrical aspect developed a personal flavour, but not so personal that other people would be unable to relate to it themselves. “<b><i>I was writing about people I knew and loved, so the words were a labour of love to write,</i></b>” Butler says. “<b><i>Stuart Adamson is very much remembered in this album, for nothing more than being an inspiration. Big Country had a unique sound, attitude and understanding in terms of people. Each part made the whole, but with this album, I am keen for people to understand my contribution to the band’s creativity; what I contributed, what I developed, and what I learned. This is ‘My Time’ and I’m really happy.</i></b>”<br />

<br />
Terry Reid has a <b>remarkable history</b>. Affectionately known as ‘Superlungs’, the in-demand Reid famously turned down <b>Jimmy Page</b>’s offer to become the front man for the band that would become <b>Led Zeppelin</b>, instead recommending and introducing Page to his friends <b>Robert Plant</b> and <b>John Bonham</b>. Due to contractual obligations, Reid also turned down a similar offer to front <b>Deep Purple</b> after being courted by the band’s guitarist <b>Ritchie Blackmore</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
And when <b>Aretha Franklin</b> cites you as England’s finest alongside <b>The Beatles </b>and<b> The Rolling Stones</b>, as the Queen of Soul did in 1968, you know you must be doing something right.<br />
<br />
Reid’s credentials were further consolidated on<b> two world tours with The Rolling Stones, U.S. tours with Cream and U.K. tours with Jethro Tull and Fleetwood Mac</b>. Reid also performed at <b>The Isle of Wight Festival </b>in 1969 and the <b>inaugural Glastonbury Festival</b> in 1970, and also performing as part of an all-star jam at Mick and Bianca Jagger’s infamous wedding reception in San Tropez in 1971.<br />
<br />
But that’s not all. Reid’s story includes numerous collaborations with <b>Graham Nash</b>, his songs being covered by the likes of<b> The Hollies, Marianne Faithfull, The Raconteurs </b>and a <b>back catalogue of six studio albums </b>- including the seminal 1973 album ‘<b><i>The River</i></b>’ and the 1976 Graham Nash produced album ‘<b>Seed of Memory</b>’.<br />
<br />
Following a return to the <b>Glastonbury Festival</b> in <b>2009</b>, Reid played a <b>three night residency </b>at <b>Ronnie Scott</b>’s in London - <b>one of only a handful of non-Jazz artists invited to help mark the legendary venue’s 50th Anniversary. Reid played to packed houses, critical acclaim, and returned in 2010 and 2011 to sell out three consecutive nights.</b><br />
<b><br /></b> <b> </b>In May 2011, Reid toured <b>Ireland</b> for the first time in 30 years and released a new live album ‘<b><i>Live In London</i></b>’, which included several previously unreleased tracks. <b>Uncut Magazine</b> then presented a show featuring Reid at <b>The Jazz Café </b>and he toured England before returning to Glastonbury once more, headlining the Spirit of ‘71 stage.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 2012, <b>Rumer</b> introduced Reid to a new generation when she featured his song ‘<b><i>Brave Awakening</i></b>’ on her 2012 album ‘<b><i>Boys Don’t Cry</i></b>’ (which entered the UK Album Chart at No3), before Reid returned to perform at the Isle of Wight Festival for the first time since 1971. Later that year, <b>DJ Shadow</b> invited Reid to write the lyrics to a new track for his forthcoming ‘<b><i>Reconstructed</i></b>’ album, which became the song ‘<b>Listen</b>’. <b>The song’s official video has since been played on YouTube over 500,000 time</b>s.<br />

<br />
The<b> hit musical</b> inspired by the life of rock legend <b>Marc Bolan</b>, 20th Century Boy, returned to the stage in March on a UK-wide tour to mark the <b>40th anniversary</b> of the iconic star’s untimely death. It opened on 8th March at G-Live in Guildford. The production will enjoy a<b> 20-week tour</b>, visiting <b>27 </b>theatres through to Saturday 30 June.<br />

<br />
20th Century Boy tells the life story of the legendary Bolan and his band <b>T.Rex,</b> exposing some of the myths and taking the audience on a tearful yet feel-good journey through Marc’s fascinating life which was cut short by a cruel twist of fate.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
At his peak, Bolan was arguably the biggest rock star the UK had ever seen. Rocker, poet, electric warrior, king of glam and godfather of punk – Marc Bolan became a superstar and the press dubbed him “Bigger than the Beatles”. Before his tragic death in 1977, a few days short of his 30th birthday, Bolan lived life at breakneck speed, creating a series of iconic images, a string of number one hits and an army of obsessive fans. 20th Century Boy is a glorious celebration of glam rock at its colourful best!<br />

Following critical acclaim for his previous portrayal of Marc Bolan in the show’s highly successful runs, <b>Olivier </b><b>Award</b> winning <b>West End </b>star <b>George </b><b>Maguire </b> returns to lead the cast of 20th Century Boy.<br />
<br />
The producers have said: “<i><b>We are delighted to welcome George Maguire back to the role of Marc. George has been involved with the show from the early workshop stages and has an incredibly close connection with the material</b></i>.”<br />
<br />
Featuring a new script by Nicky Graham and Colin Giffin, the production is directed by John Maher, and features more than <b>20 classic Bolan hits</b>. 20th Century Boy is produced by GreatBrit Productions in association with Bolanic Productions.<br />

When that great British pop institution, <b>The Beautiful South</b> split in 2007, some members of the band didn’t feel ready to hang up their microphones or instruments just yet… <br />
<br />
<b>The South</b> feature <b>former members of The Beautiful South </b>including singer <b>Alison Wheeler </b>and lifelong sax player <b>Gaz Birtles</b>. Since original singer, Dave Hemingway, left the group at the end of 2016, Gaz has now moved across to vocal duties. They play the songs made famous by The Beautiful South and bring back the full flavour and excitement with the nine piece live band.<br />
<br />
With the new reshuffle complete, The South are a full team again and raring to go! Their live show promises to continue to celebrate and perform the classic Beautiful South songs - <b><i>A Little Time</i></b> (the number one single), <b><u>Perfect 10,</u></b> <b><i>Rotterdam</i></b>, <b><i>Old Red Eyes Is Back</i></b>, <b><i>Good as Gold, Don't Marry Her</i></b>. All performed again live, these songs, and many more, span an impressive <b>20 year career </b>starting way back in 1989!<br />
<br />
Come on! Let’s <i><b>Carry On… Regardless</b></i>!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>NWOBHM</b> icons <b>Saxon</b> have announced <b>10 dates</b> for the <b>UK</b> leg of their upcoming <b>Battering Ram World Tour.</b> They will be joined by special guests Fastway and Girlschool for the much awaited shows, opening in Newcastle on 28th October. (<b>all</b> UK dates shown further below)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"<b><i>Gonna be a great tour with Fastway and Girlschool</i></b>” - said <b>frontman Biff Byford. “<i>I think this line up is unique, you don't wanna miss it. Looking forward to battering some halls… Welcome to the metal church!</i>”</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Battering Ram</b>, Saxon’s <b>21st </b>studio album, was released in October 2015 reaching the UK Top 50 and #12 in Germany. It was described by frontman Biff Byford as “<b><i>a natural progression from Sacrifice</i></b>” with “<b><i>a bit less rock’n’roll and a bit more ‘heavy’ on it</i></b>”. Following its release Saxon hit Europe with Motorhead for their 40th Anniversary tour, accompanied by Girlschool. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sadly, the tragic passing of Lemmy in December put an early end to the tour, and the UK leg planned to begin on January 16th was cancelled - bar a Saxon headlining show in Brighton.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Joining <b>Saxon</b> and <b>Girlschool</b> on the new dates will be <b>Fastway</b>, the brainchild of ex-<b>Motorhead</b> guitarist <b>Fast Eddie Clarke</b> with UFO bassist Pete Way. The current line up features Fast Eddie Clarke with <b>Toby Jepson</b> (<b>Gun/Little Angels</b>) on vocals, <b>Steve Strange </b>on drums and Mama’s Boys’ <b>John McManus</b> on bass. More info on <a href="http://www.fastwayofficial.com/">http://www.fastwayofficial.com</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Saxon released their self-titled debut in 1979, followed by “<b>Wheels of Steel</b>” the following year, which reached <b>#5</b> in the <b>UK charts</b> and gave fans two classics in the title track and “747”. They established themselves as one of the iconsof the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal throughout the 80s. Later the band tried to attack the US market taking a more melodic direction with release of “Destiny” in 1988, before going back to their original sound with 1991’s “Solid Balls of Rock” , reaffirming their influence on the European metal scene. They continued touring and recording enjoying renewed success and released their current album Battering Ram in 2015. They also recently released a 9 Vinyl album box set Eagles and Dragons containing the bands nine studio albums recorded between 1991 and 2009.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Saxon saw album sales topping 15 million worldwide including 8 UK Top 40 albums across their career. They are considered a seminal NWOBHM act and are known to have inspired the likes of Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, Motley Crue and plenty more.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">If you have always been keen to explore the work of Shakespeare, but were perhaps put off by heavy dusty books in school, or perhaps teachers who did not make it interesting then this is a fantastic way to take a dip in the Shakespearean swimming pool (come on in, the water is lovely!) ... read on and be inspired to dive in! - Marilyn.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> <b>~ ~ ~ ~ </b></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Shakespeare Republic</b> was created to introduce <b>Shakespeare</b> to <b>new audiences</b>, performing delicious <b>bite-sized chunks</b> of his works in <b>familiar 21st Century settings.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Built on the premise of taking a selection of <b>Shakespeare monologues</b> and making them more <b>accessible</b> to <b>modern audiences</b> by setting each piece in a <b>contemporary situation</b>, their first season in 2015 included <b>Hamlet</b> as <i><b>Media</b> <b>Advisor</b> </i>to a <b><i>Government Minister</i></b>, <b>Juliet</b> as a <b><i>gay man</i></b> in a <i><b>Skype</b> <b>conversation</b></i>, <b>Phoebe</b> as an <i><b>entitled Gen Y drunk texting</b></i>, <b>Macbeth</b> as a <b><i>politician about to metaphorically knife an opponent</i></b>, and even a <i><b>female Hamlet</b></i> weary from the corporate cut and thrust and a performance of <b>Sonnet 18</b> as a <b>eulogy</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>All locations</b> were <b>donated</b> for filming and all cast and crew<b> volunteered</b> their time. It was an experiment to see if their take on Shakespeare could find an audience and achieve what they were hoping to do: show that Shakespeare is just as relevant to us now as he was to audiences<b> 400</b> <b>years ago</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The response to the work on release was astounding. They were 'gobsmacked and thrilled' at the way the work was received.</span><br />

An angry and concerned resident of a university city in England, recently took to Facebook to reveal shocking evidence of student wastage and to voice understandable disgust about it. .<br />

Shocking photo after photo showed what many students simply left behind and <b></b> dumped as they left university. They threw it out knowing it would be destined for landfill. As much as possibly could be rescued was salvaged, so much that one could fill a shop with it. Yet it was just a fraction of what the students had left behind<br />

-------------------------------------<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For my Australian readers and those worldwide with a big heart and a good dose of empathy, I urge you to please get behind this worthy cause.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Two years ago I had the pleasure of interviewing <b>Saskia Hampele</b> on the <b><i>Neighbours</i></b> set (she played <i><b>Georgia Brooks</b></i> but left <i>Neighbours</i> in early 2015 to move to Los Angeles to pursue new acting opportunities) </span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Saskia & I</i></span></b></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She struck me as a very caring and warm person , in fact it radiated from her , but that is hardly surprising as she qualified as a social worker and also worked as a counsellor . Gritty jobs that require a caring nature.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So I was not surprised to recently learn about her <b>Gift Box</b> project - ( a project I would like to see happening around the world I hasten to add, which they hope will eventually happen.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now sit down, because I am going to use two words this radio girl has never used here before, they may surprise you/shock you/amuse you (<i>tick whichever apply</i>) are you ready? <b><i><span style="color: red;">PERIODS</span></i></b> and <b><i><span style="color: red;">TAMPONS</span></i></b> .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes you read correctly. Pick yourselves up from the floor please! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Women already know what a bloody pain periods can be. Men may think that tampons make handy faux white mice or even cool ear plugs for when their significant other is harping on about the cramps, bloating, sore boobs or the fact that in many countries tampons are even taxed. (hmphhh since when is a tampon a luxury?!) Yes periods are a pain in more ways than one, and even embarrassing for us girls, personally I cringe when some tv advert comes on telling me how I can jump from a plane, climb Everest or abseil from a tall building during my period as long as I use some famous brand tampon or pad.. or the one that says ''Have a happy period!'' Happy?? Pffft!! Get real, all I want to do in that time is jump into warm bath/shower and climb into bed with a wheatbag . </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now however, imagine you were trying to cope with them whilst <b>homeless</b>. (Remember that a moment ago I asked 'since when were tampons a luxury...' well to a homeless woman they certainly are!)</span><br />
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></b>
<span style="font-size: large;">Whilst we ladies complain about the cost of periods, in Australia alone around 46,000 women are without a bed and are thus sleeping rough, they are without access to warm bath or shower and a comforting wheatbag or hot water bottle, they are without access to the very sanitary products that you and I take for granted no matter how grudgingly we buy them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> So then there is an idea... what if for every box of tampons or pads we bought, another box would be donated to one of these women? Great idea right?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well Saskia not only thought it was a great idea but she jumped into action - she is attempting to make that idea into a reality with her <i><b>Kickstarter</b></i> campaign, "Gift Box".</span><br />

' '' <span style="font-size: large;">Gift Box is about creating a sustainable support program, so for every tampon and pad purchased, we will donate one to a less fortunate woman in Australia, and eventually worldwide.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The concept of 'GIFT BOX' is a tongue-in-cheek take on literally just that: a gift for your box. We have sourced the highest quality 100% organic cotton tampons from a certified organic manufacturer in Europe - so we haven't compromised on quality. They will be shipped to and packed in Australia using recycled kraft paper boxes, ensuring all aspects of the product are ethical and fair-trade. '' (from <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/653063473/gift-box-tampons-giving-one-for-one">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/653063473/gift-box-tampons-giving-one-for-one</a> )</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">By the end of June, Saskia needs to have raised AU$45,000 to get the first shipment of her organic tampon line off the ground, (The fact that they are organic is also wonderful! ) Well the end of June is not that far away and at the current time of writing they are at AU$13,497 with 10 days to go to make it to the magical 45k. It has to reach that goal or else it cannot happen, we can't let such an inspirational and worthy project fail so I'm asking you for a call to action, pledge, share, tweet, post!! Help Saskia make this a reality.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">'' <i>We still have over $30K to make of our $45K goal. This is the minimum it will cost to get the initiative off the ground. After that, it funds itself</i>. '' </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So come on folk, let's help make this happen. It doesn't matter where in the world you are. It doesn't matter what your gender is. It just matters that you have a heart and empathy. Look at your female friends, your sisters, daughters, mothers, granny - how would you feel if they were in the terrible situation of being homeless, struggling to keep and feel clean. Please support this. Have a heart and take part. It can be your good deed/mitzvah, for the day.</span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><b>2016 is the 40th Anniversary of The Undertones and they are delighted to announce that they will be celebrating this anniversary with national and international live shows and some exciting releases.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><b>The Undertones emerged from Derry in 1976, the result of five friends learning how to play basic rock and roll. Even by the standards of that decade Derry was not the rock and roll capital of anywhere. With no live bands worth watching, they learned by listening to mail order records, reading one of the few copies of NME that made it to Derry but most of all from listening to John Peel’s wonderful show on BBC Radio One. Practicing in their bedrooms eventually led to the band recording Teenage Kicks E.P. in 1978 on Terri Hooley's Good Vibrations label in Belfast.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span>

<span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><b>The Undertones signed with Sire Records and ‘Teenage Kicks’ was released followed by further punk pop gems such as `Here Comes The Summer`, Jimmy Jimmy`, `My Perfect Cousin`, `You’ve Got My Number (Why Don’t You Use It)’ and four LPs.</b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Hugh Cornwell</b> is currently a few days into his November tour and you should do your utmost to catch one or more of the shows for an excellent</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">live experience. (See dates further below) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hugh is one of the most important figures in punk and new wave music. He was the lead singer, guitarist and songwriter in one of Britain’s most loved and most influential bands of all time: <b>The Stranglers</b> best known for their hits “<b><i>Golden Brown</i></b>”, “<i><b>No More Heroes</b></i>”, “<b><i>Peaches</i></b>” and “<b><i>Always The Sun</i></b>”. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Always ahead of the curve, he has made headlines both with the music and innovative approaches to reaching new audiences over the years, being at the forefront of experimentation with free downloads and crowdfunding.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In August 2015, Hugh Cornwell released “<b><i>The Fall And Rise Of Hugh Cornwell</i></b>” through Invisible Hands Music, on LP and CD [Cat Nos IH61, IHCD61]. The first ever <b><i>anthology</i></b> of his post-Stranglers career, twenty five years on from leaving the band, this album brings together <b><i>twelve</i></b> choice Cornwell classics taken from the first six solo albums, plus one brand new studio recording, “<i><b>Live It And Breathe It</b></i>” [on CD format only]. </span><br />

Working with two stations allows me to wear a few different hats.<br />
Whilst my <b><a href="http://www.classicrockradio.eu/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Classic Rock Radio</span></a></b> rock hat is firmly fixed in place over<br />
the blonde mane, I do enjoy interviewing and getting to know a number of people from all sides of the 'entertainment biz'<br />
<br />
I've met and interviewed '<b>Neighbours</b>' actor <b>Alan Fletcher</b> (or Fletch as he<br />
likes to be called) a number of times, and even gone to watch some<br />
shows with him, a very pleasant time indeed.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I recently spoke with him again for <b><span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.radiodeeside.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Radio Deeside</span></a> </span> </b>which aired on<br />
Sunday December 7. I'll be popping a transcript of that interview up on the blog at some point soon.<br />
<br />
We spoke about his 20 years in Neighbours, his forthcoming panto role as the <b><a href="http://www.magicbeansproductions.com/dunstablepanto/dunstablepantonews.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sheriff Of Nottingham</span></a></b><br />
in Dunstable ( it runs from December 12 - January 4 ) and his<br />
brilliant Christmas single <b><a href="http://www.alanfletcher.net/" target="_blank">'<span style="color: red;">If You Want A Happy Christmas</span>'</a></b><br />

I have no shame in admitting I love the song to bits, and it always makes me smile. <br />
