It is as much of a legend as the stars who have learned from it, including Eric Clapton, Mike Oldfield, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon, Sting, Brian May, Pete Townshend, and many others! Play in a Day is easy to use and includes plenty of tips for selecting the right guitar, the correct amplifier, how to hold your instrument, and plenty of exercises and tunes to play! Single best feature for me? One page listed every note on the guitar neck and was shown as musical notation (dots on grids). I dont know that Ive seen that anywhere else, clearly shown in a single graphic.I bought this book after reading an online interview with Jimmy Page (LedZep), who said it was a big part of his formative learning as a youth. He liked that the format they used in the book was the same as the charts he saw as a studio musician. I dont know much theory or how to read guitar music, other than tablature. This book has been a big help. Its a bit thin, but chock full of good information that is explained quite well. Later learned that several world-famous British guitarists were also Weeden Disciples; Eric Clapton, John, Paul & George (sorry Ringo!), Pete Townsend and Dr. Brian May.

Its author was Bert Weedon, an unassuming dance- band musician whose unpatronising approach made him Britain's earliest expert on the instrumental niceties of rock'n'roll. Weedon, who has died aged 91, was among the first British musicians to incorporate into his style the innovations of American country and western, boogie and rock'n'roll guitarists. In the s, Weedon played on hundreds of recording sessions for most of the leading singers and bands of the era, including Alma Cogan, Dickie Valentine and Frankie Vaughan. He recalled that "you had to be so adaptable and flexible. For example, Winifred Atwell would want a honky-tonk approach, Russ Conway something light, while Frankie Vaughan would want something quite beaty and Ronnie Hilton something else again. He took part in more than 5, broadcasts during his career. It is difficult now to imagine the vehemence with which the musical establishment, from Sir Malcolm Sargent to Steve Raceexcoriated the records of Bill Haley and Elvis Presley and their effect on British youth. Weedon was one of the few experienced studio session players who wholeheartedly embraced rock, which he first heard when Stapleton procured a copy of Haley's Rock Around the Clock months before Bert Weedons Play in a Day: (Guitar) was issued in Britain.

There is a huge quantity of information about Clint Eastwood his life and career on numerous websites, books etc. We focus mainly on his connection to The Everly Brothers and in particular to Phil Everly plus brief overview of his career. American film actor, director, producer, composer and politician. Eastwood first came to prominence as a supporting cast member in the TV series Rawhide (1959–1965). He rose to fame for playing the Man with No Name in Sergio Leone’s Dollars trilogy of spaghetti westerns (A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) during the 1960s, and as San Francisco Police Department Inspector Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry films (Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact and The Dead Pool) during the 1970s and 1980s. These roles, along with several others in which he plays tough-talking no-nonsense police officers, have made him an enduring cultural icon of masculinity. Eastwood won Academy Awards for Best Director and Producer of the Best Picture, as well as receiving nominations for Best Actor, for his work in the films Unforgiven (1992) and Million Dollar Baby (2004). These films in particular, as well as others including Play Misty for Me (1971), The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), Pale Rider (1985), In the Line of Fire (1993), The Bridges of Madison County (1995) and Gran Torino (2008), have all received commercial success and critical acclaim.

  • A History of the Astoria Cinema and Rainbow Theatre, Finsbury Park
    FROM COLMAN TO COSTELLO A HISTORY OF THE ASTORIA CINEMA AND RAINBOW THEATRE, FINSBURY PARK The Finsbury Park Astoria, later renamed the Rainbow Theatre, began life as an ‘atmospheric’ cinema in 1930, bringing entertainment and luxury to a densely populated part of Islington, north London. The Astoria’s opening feature film was Condemned starring Ronald Colman, who was one of the era’s most popular screen idols. By the 1960s the Astoria had developed a dual role both as a picture house and as a music venue. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Nat ‘King’ Cole, Sarah Vaughan, Frank Sinatra and Jimi Hendrix all played there. Its final picture show in September 1971 featured a double bill of Gorgo and the Boulting Brothers’ Twisted Nerve. However, the building was not to remain dark for long and, a little over six weeks later, at time when many cinema theatres throughout Britain were being converted to use as bingo halls or being demolished, the Astoria reinvented itself. In November 1971, and rebranded as the Rainbow Theatre, it was to become legendary as a rock music venue, attracting some of the biggest names in contemporary and popular music. The Who, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Miles Davis, Rory Gallagher, Queen, Liza Minnelli, The Jacksons and Bob Marley all performed at the Rainbow. Notable acts from the decade’s burgeoning reggae, punk and new wave scenes also appeared on the theatre’s famous stage. Elvis Costello headlined the final concert at the Rainbow in December 1981. In spite of being designated Grade II-listed status for its architectural importance, the building’s future remained undecided for many years.

From 1977 to ’80, the group amassed a string of radio-friendly hits including “Isn’t It Time,” “Every Time I Think of You,” “Head First,” “Back on My Feet Again,” and “Midnight Rendezvous.” A s lead guitarist, S t o c k e r provided the six- string muscle that powered those hits up the charts. Born March 27, 1953, in London, Stocker took up guitar at age nine. A passionate devotee of Free guitarist Paul Kossoff, he honed his chops in short-lived bands Joy and Pegasus. His break came in 1975, when he joined the fledgling The Babys, which included lead vocalist/bassist John Waite, keyboardist/ guitarist Michael Corby, and drummer Tony Brock. Signed to Chrysalis on the basis of a four-song video, the band released five albums – The Babys, Broken Heart, Head First, Union Jacks, and On the Edge – and toured with the likes of Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick, Journey, AC/ DC, and Rush.
