Sir Peter Blake (B 1932, England) Peter Blake was born in Dartford, Kent. From 1951 to 1953 he served in the Royal Air Force. Following his time in the national service, Blake studied at the Gravesend School of Art, and then the Royal College of Art from 1953 to 1956. He graduated in 1956 and returned to teach from 1964 to 1976. During the late 1950s, Blake became one of the best known British pop artists. His paintings from this time included imagery from advertisements, music hall entertainment, and wrestlers, often including collaged elements. He first came to public attention when he featured in Ken Russell's film on pop art, Pop Goes the Easel, which was broadcast on BBC television. Blake also painted several notable album sleeves. As well as the sleeve for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Blake also made sleeves for the Band Aid single, ‘Do They Know It's Christmas?’, Paul Weller's Stanley Road and the Ian Dury tribute album Brand New Boots and Panties . In the early 1970s, he made a set of watercolours to illustrate Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, and in 1975 was a founder of the Brotherhood of Ruralists. Blake was made a Royal Academician in 1981, a CBE in 1983, and in 2002 was knighted. In February 2005, the Sir Peter Blake Music Art Gallery, located in the School of Music, University of Leeds, was opened by the artist. The permanent exhibition features 14 examples of Blake's album sleeve art, including the only public showing of a signed print of his famed Sgt. Pepper's artwork. .

Rome based Mardi Gras is a rock act with a difference. Named after Creedence Clearwater Revival's last studio album, the band's musical journey is made of protest songs, poetry, prayers set to music, and a whole lot more. In May 2021 comes out with a new rendition of Elisa's song "Come speak to me". In 2020 Mardi Gras comes out with five new singles. In January the first one, "From Zero to One", produced by Stuart Epps (producer of Elton John, Led Zeppelin, Oasis, Robbie Williams, Zak Starkey, George Harrison, Bill Wyman, Chris Rea), in April a new version of the band's 2018 single "Shoes" and a cover of the Oasis' "Don't look back in anger". In June the band presents a new version of "Satellites and me" (originally from their album "Among the streams") and in September a new rendition of Paul Weller's song "You do something to me", again in collaboration with the producer Stuart Epps. In 2019 two singles, “Adam & Eve” and “Gingerman” are released in collaboration with Mark Geary, a noted Irish artist. 2018 marks a new start for the band with a new line up and a brand new voice. Three singles from that year: "One Guitar" (benefit single to raise funds and help the Light of Day Foundation for Parkinson's disease) was released in December, a pop/rock ballad "Tried" in July, and "Shoes", a groovy soul oriented track was the first single released with the new line up in spring 2018.

Paul Weller ‘Classic Album Selection: Vol
Paul Weller ‘Classic Album Selection: Vol. 1’ Digital Box Set Featuring The First Five Solo Studio Albums On September 9, 2014, Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) will release the digital box set Classic Album Selection: Vol. 1 featuring the first five albums from Paul Weller’s highly successful solo career as he gathered pace to reach his now iconic and legendary status. It was a few years after disbanding The Style Council in 1989 before Paul Weller released his first, eponymous, solo album for his new label Go! Disc in 1992. It was a Top 10 album in the U.K. and marked a return to his first love, ‘60s Soul and R&B. The follow up, Wild Wood , launched him on a run of critical and commercial success: The album went to No. 2 in the U.K. and was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize ; its multi platinum, million seller successor, Stanley Road (featuring guest appearances by Steve Winwood and Noel Gallagher), spawned two U.K. Top 10 singles ("The Changing Man," No. 7, and "You Do Something to Me," No. 9), went to No. 1 and he picked up BRIT Award for Best Male Artist (which he won again the following year). 1997’s Heavy Soul saw Weller twist his sound again to take him back to the top of the charts (No. 2 in the U.K.) and 2000s Heliocentric (erroneously rumoured to be his last album at the time), which was a much lighter affair, did the same and peaked again at No. 2 in the U.K.

Although the song became famous in its own right, for me – as for any Scousers – it was simply an ordinary suburban junction where I went to the barber’s shop. (It also led loads of people to nick the road signs . ) I think we sometimes get seduced into believing that extraordinary people and places are, somehow, extraordinary by nature – but they are oft en simply cases of the ordinary being given some extra signifi cance. At the end of the day, Penny Lane is still just a road – and extraordinary people bleed and laugh and weep like the rest of us. As an ordinary Christian I think this is really encouraging. (Nick Baines, the Bishop of Croydon, BBC Radio 2)1 All right Morrissey you thunderously appalling great ponce, tell me if you would, how much f***ing time did you spend in Dagenham researching this one? Spend time in the pub with the panel beaters, wideboys and assorted f***ing hoolies, get drunk with them, get in a few f***ing fi ghts, really found out what makes them tick? Did you f***.

Re My Best Friend' a Consideration of Country Music, Sounds, Scenes
‘You’re My Best Friend’ A Consideration of Country Music, Sounds, Scenes and Communities in Liverpool. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Susan Elizabeth Hedges. November 2014 0 Hedges, S.E. ‘You’re My Best Friend’ A Consideration of Country Music, Sounds, Scenes and Communities in Liverpool. Abstract This research thesis is a study of the Country music scene on Merseyside, carried out within a popular music studies framework. This Country scene was once considered by some to be the largest such scene in Europe, but after well over half a century, it now appears to be in terminal decline. This research examines the relationship between the music, the participants and the processes of the scene in order to understand how it developed, how it was sustained, and what might have been the circumstances, which contributed to its eventual decline. The research covers a wide variety of inter-disciplinary areas such as oral history, document research, genre analysis, structural and semiotic analysis, considerations of scenes, ‘thirdspace’ and localities, cultural geography, etc, all in an attempt to understand how and why this particular music genre, thrived and then declined on Merseyside. The origins and pathways of the global flow of music into the city of Liverpool were considered by this researcher, as was the importance of key individuals, venues and physical cultural places in the construction and maintenance of the scene. This research also covers areas that could be regarded as holding great significance, both positive and negative, regarding this scene.
