    Saiichi Sugiyama Band Epk 2016

    SAIICHI SUGIYAMA BAND EPK (July 2016) British blues-rock guitarist Saiichi Sugiyama and his band are touring the UK in September 2016 ahead of their new album release next year. Saiichi Sugiyama Band is a group of musicians hailing from Surrey/London that harks back to the halcyon days of rock and soul, 1965-1974, brought together in 2010 by the guitarist/composer Saiichi [pronounced: “sigh-eee- chee”], who has a career spanning 25 years as a solo artist in the British blues scene. The core of the group is Rietta Austin (lead vocals), Saiichi Sugiyama (guitar/vocals/composer), Ben Reed (bass guitar) and Mune Sugiyama (producer/arranger/drums). When playing live, the group are augmented by touring musicians including Stuart Dixon (rhythm guitar), Katrin Yr (lead vocals) and Wez Johnson (drums). The former members Lizzie Hibbert (lead vocals) and Dave Munch Moore (keys) also record with the group in studio. The group has been spending the past months working on their new studio album in various recording studios, a follow up to the studio live album “the Smokehouse Sessions” from 2014. The new album will include a track entitled “Melting Away”, written by Saiichi and featuring the late bass hero Andy Fraser, ex-Free and composer of the 1970 smash single, “All Right Now.” The initial inspiration for “Melting Away” came to Saiichi while on a trip to his native Japan. To Saiichi the melody was reminiscent of Free guitarist Paul Kossoff, who died in 1976. Creating a demo when he returned home to the UK, Saiichi came up with bass parts that brought Free bassman Andy Fraser to mind.

    Sian Reeves Reveals Why She's Right at Home on The

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Pulse Records Limited in association with Bill Elms present SIAN REEVES REVEALS WHY SHE’S RIGHT AT HOME ON THE COBBLES OF WEATHERFIELD AND BY THE WATERS OF LIVERPOOL Most actors would be serenely content to have landed a fantastic storyline in one of the country’s leading soaps - but for stalwart Sian Reeves, there will be no time to sit back and relax as this February sees rehearsals begin for the UK premiere tour of Helen Forrester’s, By The Waters Of Liverpool. But first, having already graced our screens with stints in Eastenders and Emmerdale, Sian is about to send shock waves around Coronation Street when she rolls up as Charlie Wood, the deluded wife Tim Metcalfe didn’t know he had. Charlie and Tim got married after a boozy holiday fling in Las Vegas, which he assumed was a spoof wedding. He was wrong, and is now mortified to realise the drunken ceremony in which he and Charlie got hitched years ago was, in fact, the real deal. Fearful of being charged with bigamy, Tim tracked Charlie down and asked for a divorce. But he gets more than he bargained for when she turns up on the street... Sian explains: “Charlie Wood is a sweet girl. When they meet up again, Tim never mentioned being married to Sally and all the attention he lavished on her, just to get a divorce, makes her think he is in love with her. Consequently, she feels really humiliated when Sally confronts them - so she runs off without signing the papers.

In 1972, the Reverend Awdry retired from writinG children’s fiction. By that time, he’d published 26 books containinG 105 stories, with ‘Tramway EnGines’ being his last railway adventure. 8. A chance encounter with an engine driver presented Christopher Awdry an opportunity to continue the series.

Christopher then went on to create three more tales which became Book 27 ‘Really Useful EnGines’. 9. The characters on Sodor are larGely based on real classes of locomotives, and some of the railways themselves are directly based on upon real lines in the British Isles.
