  • Goodbye Consett
    GOODBYE CONSETT Excerpts from STORIES FROM A SONGWRITERS LIFE by Steve Thompson Cover image: Mark Mylchreest. Proof reading: Jim Harle (who still calls me Stevie). © 2020 Steve Thompson. All rights reserved. FOREWORD INTO THE UNKOWN By Trev Teasdel (Poet, author and historian) We almost thought of giving in Searching for that distant dream” Steve Thompson, Journey’s End. For a working-class man born in Consett, County Durham, UK apprenticed to the steel industry, with expectations only of the inevitable, Steve Thompson has managed to weld together, over 50 years, an amazing career as hit songwriter, musician, rock band leader, record producer, ideas man, raconteur, radio producer, community media mogul, workshop leader and much more. The world is full of unsung heroes, the people behind the scenes who pull the strings, spark ideas, write the material for others to sing and while Steve may be one of them, his songs at least have been well sung by some of the top artists in show business, and he’s worked alongside some of the top producers of the time. This is what this book is about – those songs that will be familiar to you even if you never knew who wrote them, the stories that lie behind them; the highs and lows, told with honesty, clarity and humour. There’s nothing highfalutin about Steve Thompson, he’s pulled himself up by his own bootstraps, achieved his dream, despite setbacks, and through it remains humble (if a little boastful – as you will see!), a staunchly people’s man with a wicked sense of humour (and I do mean wicked!).

  • Interpreting Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé's Barcelona
    7 When Divas and Rock Stars Collide: Interpreting Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé’s Barcelona Eve Klein Mamma mia, what’s this? Freddie Mercury, the man who perpetrated heavy-metal opera in ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ shrieking alongside an actual opera star? In 1987 Mercury somehow conned a world-class diva, Montserrat Caballé, to slum with him for an entire album. The result apparently was deemed too flaky to be released in the U.S., but in the wake of Queen’s commercial resurgence (and Mercury’s death last November from AIDS), any curio is up for grabs. (Farber 1992) Introduction This chapter considers Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé’s operatic- rock album Barcelona (1988) as a logical extension of Mercury’s fascination with operatic musical devices, narrative structures and iconography. With this album, two global superstars from divergent musical genres met and brought their musical perspectives into genuine collaboration. However, Barcelona, like other popular explorations of opera, has remained largely 115 POPULAR MUSIC, STARS AND STARDOM unexamined because it sits somewhat uncomfortably across art and popular music, agitating anxieties and authenticities as they operate in both terrains. This chapter will investigate how such anxieties became established by unpacking the circulation of opera within popular recording cultures as elite reproductions of operatic repertory, as ‘crossover’ music and through its appropriation by popular musicians. This chapter will then conduct an analysis of the Barcelona collaboration that situates its creation in the context of Mercury’s musical trajectory. Special consideration will be paid to the musical style established in ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ (1975). Comparing previous performances to the Barcelona album indicates that Mercury and Caballé largely did not attempt to emulate each other’s vocal style, but reproduced their existing vocal technique.

  • Barcelona- in Occasione Del 25° Anniversario Dall'uscita Dell'album Uno Speciale Ad Esso Dedicato
    -Barcelona- In occasione del 25° anniversario dall'uscita dell'album uno speciale ad esso dedicato. A cura di Eleonora Rinaldi (one year of love) e Andrea Pinzauti (Lurex) Freddie Mercury e Montserrat Caballè Senza alcun dubbio Barcellona fu una delle imprese di Freddie tra le più ambiziose, provocatorie e allo stesso tempo coraggiose. La considerava come uno dei progetti più gratificanti della sua carriera e di cui ne andava più fiero. E, in effetti, cantare con Montserrat Caballè era la realizzazione di un sogno che non si sarebbe mai aspettato potesse diventare realtà. Freddie che pure non fu mai un artista incline a seguire pratiche di lavoro già provate e testate e neppure a ripetere la stessa cosa due volte, era già determinato nel 1984 a lavorare con la Caballè e ci riuscì. Egli rincorse questo progetto con lo stesso fervore con il quale un uomo insegue una missione. Nel luglio 1986 nel corso di un intervista per il programma televisivo spagnolo INFORME SEMANAL Freddie raccontò della sua passione per l’opera e in particolare del suo amore per la voce di Montserrat Caballè. Spiegò che il motivo principale del suo viaggio a Barcellona era di realizzare il desiderio di incontrare la diva e ignorando la propensione per l’opera del suo ospite l’intervistatore cambiò decisamente argomento. Tuttavia il messaggio non cadde nel vuoto e le parole giunsero sino a Montserrat. Il manager Jim Beach si mise in contatto con l’agente dei Queen in Spagna, Pino Sagliocco, perché organizzassero l’incontro, e nove mesi piu tardi il sogno di Freddie si realizzò.
