Steve says: "The solo album came about after I'd written music with my good friend Dave Foster for the Plovdiv International Guitar festival. The music went down so well and was so effortless to write that it seemed like an obvious thing to do. I have a few guest musicians appearing on the album including Steve Hackett and Don Airey with more to be announced soon. An album launch party is already planned for 20 September at Pendley Court Theatre, Tring. Steve adds: "I'm currently booking a European tour for October and November plus we've also been offered shows in the Ukraine, Russia, Japan and Malta. A show at Bush Hall (London) has also been arranged for Saturday 8 November 2014". Click HERE for Tickets.

Local Music Fans Gather Together
To Launch The
original ‘Aylesbury Roxette’, Aylesbury’s local
music-magazine and newspaper first launched in July 1976, and
ran for 9 issues until June 1977, which even included a Keith
Richards 'trial special' in its January 1977 issue. The
‘Aylesbury Roxette’ focussed on all the local gigs
and up & coming bands, not to mention covering all the latest
music related news of its day. It was also pivotal in highlighting
the bands associated with Friars; Aylesbury’s very own music
club and venue, which finally closed its doors in 1984. Now,
over 30 years later, a group of friends and local music fans have
embarked on relaunching this popular FREE local music-magazine
once again. Organiser
and Editor Stuart Robb explains: Stuart
adds: 2009’s HOTC will be very special as well,
with a number of surprises already lined up. The date for this
will be held on 23 August 2009, so make sure you make a note in
your diary! All the latest news will of course be covered in ‘The
New Roxette’. We hope, with the launch of ‘The New Roxette’,
we can help cover more local music-news stories, promote the best
gigs and feature all the wonderful local bands from around the
county and beyond”. Each
month ‘The New Roxette’ will be delving into Aylesbury's
historic past, whilst at the same time discovering and developing
new music and exciting new bands for the dedicated music fan to
check out! Contact us HERE if you would
like ‘The New Roxette’ to help feature or promote
your band, gigs or latest music news!
The New Roxette is out now, and available for free at Aylesbury
Music, The Civic Centre, The Kings Head, Johnston’s Café,
The Coffee Tree (Aylesbury), Elgiva Theatre (Chesham), Rockhopper
Studios, Dukes Music, Vinyl Riches, (Buckingham), Counter Culture,
The Nags Head (High Wycombe) to name but a few… Also check out the Myspace & Facebook LINKS (and become our ‘friend’) for even more News, Information and Exclusive Announcements.
