=============================================
SANDY DENNY & THE STRAWBS - ALL OUR OWN WORK:
THE COMPLETE SESSIONS - OUT NOW
=============================================

This is now released on Witchwood Media - sounds fabulous with its Chris Tsangarides remastering and is getting great reviews in the press - Daily Express on 10 June gave it four stars and commented that:

"Legend surrounds this alliance between the first lady of British folk and the much loved Strawbs, which many now think of this as the original folk-rock album.... Songs such as Who Knows Where The Time Goes and Tell Me Where You See In Me are flawless while the original album with out-takes and unreleased demo tracks make it perfect for all music fans."

More reviews and feature reviews in the pipeline.

You can now buy it at Witchwood Records in the usual way, and it's widely available through other outlets.

===================================================
AN EVENING WITH RICK WAKEMAN - 16 JULY - BATH ABBEY
===================================================

Bath Abbey Concert Series is delighted to announce that the legendary rock pianist, Rick Wakeman, will be performing his one-man show in the Abbey on Friday 16 July.

According to my info, his one-man show pretty much came about by accident. Quite simply, his gear didn't arrive for a show one night and all there was available was a piano. The audience were given the choice of their money back or an evening with Rick performing on the piano and telling funny anecdotes. Only three people took up the offer of their money back, and An Evening With Rick Wakeman was born! These performances don't happen very often, which is why each one is very special to Rick, and hopefully to the audience as well.

The show takes place in Bath Abbey on Friday 16 July at 7.30pm. Tickets, costing £25, £20 & £15, are available from Bath Festivals Box Office by calling 01225 463362 or by visiting their website www.bathfestivals.org.uk


===============================
ROY HILL DATES AUGUST/SEPTEMBER
===============================

Advance notice: Roy celebrates 35 years in show business this year, with a solo, My Life in Showbiz Gala Performance, on Sunday 15 August at the Ram Jam Club in picturesque Kingston upon Thames.

A further show at the Ram Jam on Sunday 26 September to launch the album we thought was a figment of Roy's imagination - the legendary Switzerland.

Venue details:
The Ram Jam Club at the Grey Horse pub
46 Richmond Road
Kingston upon Thames KT2 5EE
020 8541 4328
