  • Procol Harum Live in Italia Per Tre Imperdibili Concerti in Occasione Dei 50 Anni Di Carriera
    MERCOLEDì 4 OTTOBRE 2017 I Procol Harum, una delle band leggendarie del panorama internazionale, celebrano 50 anni di carriera e arrivano in Italia tra pochissimi giorni. Sarà questa un'occasione speciale e imperdibile per vedere il gruppo Procol Harum live in Italia per tre finalmente sul palco, dato che si esibiscono dal vivo in pochi selezionati imperdibili concerti in occasione concerti e l'ultima volta nel nostro paese risale al 2010. La band dei 50 anni di carriera: il 6 ottobre britannica sarà a Milano il 6 ottobre (Teatro Dal Verme), a Pordenone il 7 a Milano, il 7 a Pordenone e il 9 a (Palasport) e a Roma il 9 (Auditorium Parco della Musica). Roma I Procol Harum si formano nel 1967 dal sodalizio tra Gary Brooker, pianista dei Paramounts, e dell'amico Keith Reid(spesso definito il Mogol della musica leggera inglese). Nasceva uno dei più grandi gruppi rock di tutti i tempi, uno dei primissimi gruppi progressive inglesi, che, nell'anno del debutto, sbancava letteralmente il mercato discografico internazionale con A whiter shade of pale, uno dei singoli più venduti al ANTONIO GALLUZZO mondo (ben 10 milioni di copie) ed una delle canzoni più riconoscibili e suonate di sempre. In Italia rimase per mesi in testa alla hit parade, e da molti è conosciuta nella versione italiana. I Procol Harum hanno regalato [email protected] al pubblico una decina di album con brani celebri, tra i quali SPETTACOLINEWS.IT ricordiamo Homburg, Conquistador, Pandora's Box, As strong as Samson, A Salty Dog (divenuta sigla di un programma televisivo), e tutti quelli di un album tanto bello quanto sottovalutato degli anni '70 come Grand Hotel.

  • Fudge the Elf
    1 Fudge The Elf Ken Reid The Laura Maguire collection Published October 2019 All Rights Reserved Sometime in the late nineteen nineties, my daughter Laura, started collecting Fudge books, the creation of the highly individual Ken Reid. The books, the daily strip in 'The Manchester Evening News, had been a part of my childhood. Laura and her brother Adam avidly read the few dog eared volumes I had managed to retain over the years. In 2004 I created a 'Fudge The Elf' website. This brought in many contacts, collectors, individuals trying to find copies of the books, Ken's Son, the illustrator and colourist John Ridgeway, et al. For various reasons I have decided to take the existing website off-line. The PDF faithfully reflects the entire contents of the original website.

  • PROCOL HARUM 2014 BIOGRAPHY Procol Harum Are Still Going Strong
    PROCOL HARUM 2014 BIOGRAPHY Procol Harum are still going strong. March 2014 sees a new double CD, Inside/Outside, celebrating over forty years of studio and live recordings. In addition the spring will see a new download-only release, Some Long Road, featuring tracks from the band’s 2012 US tour. Alongside this Procol continue to tour many parts of the world, and are considering options on three continents at the moment. You could not be blamed for thinking that, with the monumental success of Procol's first smash hit, the band just stopped there, like so many others. Even the recently-awarded accolade of ‘most- played single of the past seventy-five years’ has not quelled their need to go forward: hence 2014’s new live album. In the past couple of years they have released ten re-mastered CD albums, plus the 2CD anthology Secrets of the Hive (all generally available in Europe, and sourceable on import); their DVDs In Concert with the Danish National Concert Orchestra and Live at Union Chapel have been widely acclaimed. There’s also a special 4-disc CD/DVD box-set compendium – aptly entitled All this and More – featuring 68 of the band’s many unique compositions: this prompted Classic Rock magazine to observe, ‘it’s small wonder The Who’s Tommy and Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody can be traced to Procol’s influence’. It could be termed a plethora of Procol. The quality of writing and performance has remained Procol Harum’s gold standard through the gradually-mutating line-ups: each participating musician has kept the ideas flowing and prevented Procol from resting on their laurels.

  • Procol Harum – Novum
    Procol Harum – Novum (56:04, CD, DoLP, Eagle/Universal, 2017) 50 Jahre Procol Harum – wenn das im Jahr 2017 kein Grund zum Feiern ist. Die Mannen um das einzig verbliebene Gründungsmitglied, Mastermind, Pianist und Sänger Gary Brooker, zelebrieren diese besondere Zahl auch mit Aktivität. So erscheint ihr zwölftes Studioalbum sowohl als CD als auch als DoLP und anschließend geht es auf Tournee. Im September kommen sie auch für neun Konzerte nach Deutschland. Vierzehn Jahre liegt ihre letzte Studioscheibe “The Wells On Fire“ schon zurück, sodass „Novum“ das Vermächtnis von Procol Harum werden könnte. Das wunderschöne Artwork entwarf Julia Brown aka Julia King, die mit dem Covermotiv Erinnerungen an das Jugendstil-Artwork des Debütalbums weckt. Procol Harums Zwölfte bietet elf neue Tracks – die Japanversion sogar zwei Bonustracks mit ‚Honour‘ und der Radioversion von ‚Sunday Morning‘ – bei einer Laufzeit von 56:04 Minuten. Kompositorisch werden einige Veränderungen geboten.Keith Reid, der Texter der Band seit den ersten Tagen, ist nicht mehr an Bord. Hierfür zeichnet sich nun, bis auf zwei Songs, Pete Brown aus, der schon für Cream, Jack Bruce oder Colosseum textete, der aber auch gerne als Sänger auf der Bühne steht, sich als Autor für Filme betätigt und selber Inhaber einer Filmproduktionsfirma ist. Während Gary Brooker bisher alles Musikalische, neben einigen Songs mit Matthew Fisher und Robin Trower, selbst komponierte, hat er nun die kompositorische Verantwortung – bis auf den Gesangs-Piano-Schlusstrack ‚Somewhen‘ – auf mehrere Schultern verteilt. Trotzdem bleibt die verträumt-melancholische Stimmung ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Procol-Harum-Musik, wobei die Inspirationen aus der Klassik weiterhin gekonnt mit bluesig- rockiger Kompositionsgüte verbunden wird.

  • PROCOL HARUM Am Sonntag, 14.10.2018 Um 20:00 H Im Gasometer Bank Austria Halle Guglgasse 6 1110 Wien Ein
    Der Vorstand der Österreichisch-Britischen Gesellschaft ( ABS ) lädt alle Firmen- und Vorstandsmitglieder der Österreichisch-Britischen Gesellschaft zum Live Konzert mit PROCOL HARUM am Sonntag, 14.10.2018 um 20:00 h im Gasometer Bank Austria Halle Guglgasse 6 1110 Wien ein. Welches ist die meist gespielte Single weltweit der letzten 57 Jahre? Hätten Sie es gewusst? Dem Internet sei dank - somit wissen wir es jetzt alle: "A Whiter Shade of Pale" von Procol Harum, 1967 veröffentlicht. Diesen und viele andere Hits werden wir live erleben. Die englische Kultband aus den 60iger Jahren tritt noch immer (nach einer Unterbrechung) öffentlich auf. Der Gründer und Sänger Gary Brooker ist noch von der Anfangsformation dabei. Gary Brooker und Keith Reid gründeten Procol Harum 1967. Der Bandname soll durch die Falschschreibung aufgrund der telefonischen Übermittlung eines Katzennamens „Procul Harum“ entstanden sein. Procol Harum wurde im Frühjahr 1967 vor allem mit einem Lied bekannt: A Whiter Shade of Pale wurde kurz nach seiner Veröffentlichung 2,5 Millionen Mal und seitdem weltweit mindestens 6 Millionen Mal verkauft. Dieser Erfolg traf die Autoren Brooker und Reid unvorbereitet. Es folgten weitere Hits wie Homburg und A Salty Dog . Auch in den 1970er Jahren hatten Procol Harum Erfolg, unter anderem mit dem Album Grand Hotel . Die Besetzung wechselte – bis auf Brooker, Wilson und Reid – häufig. Die Band veröffentlichte bis zu ihrer Auflösung 1977 zehn Alben, darunter Live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra . Sie zeichnete sich durch einfallsreiche, oft an klassischer Musik orientierte Kompositionen aus. Daneben finden sich im Werk von Procol Harum aber auch immer wieder Songs, die stark im Blues verwurzelt sind.

  • The Justices of the Peace and the Administration of Local
    THE JUSTICES OF THE PEACE AND THE ADMINISTRATION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN THE EAST AND WEST RIDINGS OF YORKSHIRE BETWEEN 1680 AND 1750. Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The School of History, Michael Eric Watts Maddison. The University of Leeds. April 1986. ABSTRACT. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the criminal, civil and administrative work of the county magistrates of the East and West Ridings of Yorkshire between 1680 and 1750. There is a distinct lack of regional studies for this period, though much has been written about the county community during the era of the English Revolution of the mid seventeenth century and about the effect upon local society of the industrialisation of the late eighteenth century. This is a serious omission for late Stuart and early Georgian times comprise a vital period in the development of local government. It was a time when the country gentlemen who acted as Justices of the Peace were most autonomous. Yet it was also a period which witnessed some fundamental and permanent changes in the organisation and administration of local government. The thesis is divided into two. The first section contains four chapters and deals with the structure of local government. The general organisation at county level is explained, and the backgrounds, interests and attitudes of the actual individuals who served as magistrates are closely examined. An analysis is also undertaken of the relationship between the Justices and central government, and special emphasis is placed on the attitudes of the Crown and Privy Council towards the membership of the commission of the peace and on the role of the Lords Lieutenant and the Assize Judges.
