GREAT NEW ALBUM FROM LYNYRD SKYNYRD

If I had a record of the week, this would be it! From their new album God And Guns!

SEARCHERS AND GERRY TO TOUR NEXT AUTUMN

The Searchers and Gerry and The Pacemakers are to headline an autumn tour in 2010. The extensive tour will also feature PJ Proby, and Chip Hawkes, formerly of The Tremeloes. After their annual tour "down under" in January and February next year, The Searchers embark on another of their popular "all evening" tours where they are on stage for over two hours and include not only the hits, but b-sides and album tracks.


LENNON FILM TRAILER ONLINE

An early look at the upcoming John Lennon biopic "Nowhere Boy" has surfaced online. The trailer for the film, which deals with the late Beatle's adolescence, is available at http://tinyurl.com/yjh9crf. The movie is based on "Imagine This: Growing Up With My Brother John Lennon" by his half-sister Julia Baird and focuses primarily with Lennon's relationships with his mother, Julia (played by Anne-Marie Duff), and his aunt Mimi Smith (Kristin Scott Thomas). British actor Aaron Johnson will play Lennon, while Thomas Sangster will portray a young Paul McCartney. The film marks the directoral debut by Sam Taylor-Wood and is scheduled for a U.K. debut on Christmas day, with a U.S. release expected around the same time.


PETER GABRIEL WORKING ON SONG SWAP ALBUM

Peter Gabriel is planning to release a "song swap" album of cover songs in early 2010, tackling popular favorites from artists such as David Bowie, Talking Heads, Lou Reed and Neil Young, among others. The record will be called Scratch My Back. "The songs are not simply covers," frequent Gabriel collaborator John Metcalfe told the BBC. "They are major reinterpretations of some famous stuff. It's quite radical."


AND FINALLY.... 

In October 2008 I was invited by Geoff Dorsett to co-present The Soft Rock Show with him on Express FM in Portsmouth. It airs Mondays from 8 to 10 pm on 93.7FM and online at www.expressfm.com. Last July, we won the station's Most Improved Show award - so May-Sept 2008 must have been a superb run of shows!
Seriously, thanks to Geoff, and Adam who runs the website so well. And here's a photo of Geoff on the right accepting the award from Mark Cox of "The Foyer"!
