NOTICE TO ALL RENAISSANCE FANS

Cherry Red Records Ltd is attempting to promote the sale of downloads of two songs on Apple Music and YouTube Music with false and misleading statements that the two songs are recordings made by Renaissance.  The two songs are demo recordings of me singing the songs in the early 80's that were not Renaissance songs and not songs that I wrote.  Renaissance had nothing to do with these two demo songs.

Please do not be misled by Cherry Red Record’s advertisements or the illustrated label that claims the recordings are of Renaissance and incorrectly suggests they are recordings of Renaissance songs.

Please pass this on as far and wide as you can so that potential purchasers are not misled by Cherry Red Record’s attempt to pass these recordings off as Renaissance recordings and the songs as Renaissance songs.

Love and Light,

Oh no

Gosh yes-  just ssaw this on facebook.  Great singer. RIP.

Dolores Keane at 72. Typical Irish wild child turned national treasure. RIP

Former Motorhead guitarist Phil Campbell at the age of 64.

Mikkey Dee posted on FB saying, "We got the news this morning and it's so extremely sad about the sudden passing of my brother and dear friend Phil Campbell."

I'm giving the "Better Motorhead Than Dead Live at Hammersmith" album a blast.

I was sorry to have missed them last year when they played locally, but I was away at the time.  Hopefully they might come back again.

Thanks for the reminder Nick, I earmarked them in my diary as they’re in Colchester soon.

At a local craft ale bar (capacity 80) The Guilty Men, 5 piece, featuring Clive Gregson, Paul Burgess on drums, and two long time members of John Lees' Barclay James Harvest, didnt know the other guitarist, Neil Cossar , but he was very good. Fantastic gig, two and a half hours, great songs , only one of which wasnt recent and the musicianship goes without saying. 4 singers too. Catch them if you can . They are headlining a small local fund raising festival in August so I will be.

Oh my gosh!! What a fabulous evening 2005. This amazing global band xame to OXFORDSHIRE..  hard
 To believe ....but absutely  brilliant ! We will never see the like again .
