SEARCHERS' FRANK ALLEN
Following the success of "On The Road With The Searchers", Frank Allen's second book, "The Searchers And Me" is published on April 20th.
The 440 pages are packed with epic stories of the highs and lows of a career approaching fifty years, and although it is a more serious work than his previous book, Travelling Man, it is laced with the same inimitable humour.
It includes over 160 photographs, many from Frank's personal collection and those of other artistes which have never been published before, a full and definitive discography, and forewords by Pete Townshend and Bruce Welch.
It is ONLY available direct from the publishers, Aureus, and there are several ways of purchasing it - by telephone or email with a credit card, by PayPal, or for UK orders by downloading an application form and sending it with a cheque in the post. For further details and to place an order, go to www.thesearchersandme.com AND FINALLY....

Kinks frontman Ray Davies was joined by ex-Kinks keyboardist Ian Gibbons and members of the Crouch End Festival Chorus for a free outdoor performance recently near London's Waterloo Bridge. The two-song set featured renditions of the Kinks' "Waterloo Sunset" and "See My Friends." Davies' collaborative album with the vocal group, The Kinks Choral Collection, was released Monday
Creedence Clearwater Revival is getting back to the garden -- which is music to the ears of group members Stu Cook and Doug "Cosmo" Clifford, who now lead the spin-off band Creedence Clearwater Revisited. Cook says that after performing at the legendary rock festival in 1969, CCR frontman John Fogerty voted against using letting any of its songs appear in the resulting film or soundtrack album. "He told us that we didn't play well enough," Cook, 64, recalls. "We've never gotten a satisfactory answer for (why). My recollection is we did OK." Now, however, CCR appears on a just-released new edition of the "Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace and Music -- The Director's Cut" DVD, and it will have songs on "Woodstock -- 40 Years On: Back to Yasgur's Farm," a box set coming out Aug. 18, which Cook feels is "righting a wrong, and we're happy about that.
Bob Dylan has become the oldest person -- at 67 -- to have a No. 1 album debut
on the top of the U.K. charts. Dylan's new release, "Together Through
Life," has topped the survey, giving Dylan new seniority over Neil
Diamond, who was 67, but seven months younger, when his "Home After
Dark" debuted at No. 1 on the U.K. in 2008.
