SUZI QUATRO Talks to Brooklands Radio! for More Than Fifty Years SUZI QUATRO talks to Brooklands Radio! For more than fifty years, legend Suzi Quatro has been in the music and entertainment business, vowing only to retire “when I go onstage, shake my ass, and there is silence.” But there’s no chance of missing her anytime soon if you tune into Brooklands Radio -- we’ll be broadcasting an exclusive interview with Quatro on Thurs. Sept. 14 at 9 pm, with a repeat on Sat. Sept. 16 at 7 pm! Find us at www.brooklands.co.uk or via our free app on your iPhone or Android, and hear Quatro talk about her current tour, latest album and what keeps her going. She’ll be chatting with our very own Brooklands Radio presenter and interviewer of the stars Suzanne Hunter, who’s got loads of other great celebrity interviews on her Listen Again page at www.mixcloud.com/suzyhunterentertainmentshow, where you’ll also find the Suzi Quatro interview posted after the live transmissions. This month Quatro releases her newest album “The Best of Suzi Quatro, Legend” on Gold Vinyl, CD and Digital (Sept. 22, Chrysalis Records Ltd), following her last studio album in 2011. Also for the first time Quatro’s four studio albums from the ‘70s -- Your Mamma Won’t Like Me,” AggroPhobia,” “If you knew Suzi,” and “Suzi…and other four letter words” -- will be digitally remastered and available for download and streaming across all platforms. Quatro also goes on tour in the UK next month, headlining the “Legends Live Tour” at London SSE Wembley Arena on Oct. 20, Brighton Centre Brighton on Oct. 21, and SSE Hydro Glasgow on Oct. 13. For more details on UK appearances, see www.legendslive.org/suzi-quatro or Quatro’s website www.suziquatro.com. Born in the USA in 1950, Quatro rose to worldwide fame as a singer, songwriter and multi- instrumentalist – the first female bass player to become a major rock star and breaking the barrier to women's participation in rock music. Quatro scored a string of hit singles in Europe and Australia, reaching no. 1 in the UK and elsewhere with "Can the Can" (1973) and "Devil Gate Drive" (1974), while her duet "Stumblin' In" with Smokie's lead singer Chris Norman reached No. 4 in the USA. Quatro also found fame as an actress, with a recurring role as bass player Leather Tuscadero on the popular American sitcom Happy Days. Following her eponymous 1973 debut album, Quatro released fifteen studio albums, ten compilations and one live album, selling more than 50 million albums worldwide. Quatro continues to perform live and present on radio, with forays into writing, including her novel The Hurricane published last May by Newhaven Publishing and a collection of poems entitled “Through my eyes.” Join Suzanne Hunter on the first Thursday of every month at 9 pm and learn more about eclectic and extraordinary events taking place in Surrey, London and the UK. Also listen to reviews, tributes and interviews with other globally known stars of stage, screen and the world of music -- from Midge Ure and Howard Jones, to Jazzie B., Billy Ocean and KC and the Sunshine Band, as well as national treasures such as Dame Vera Lynn and Honor Blackman, and current personalities like tv presenter Chris Packham.

  • Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
    Joan Jett & the Blackhearts By Jaan Uhelszki As leader of her hard-rockin’ band, Jett has influenced countless young women to pick up guitars - and play loud. IF YOU HAD TO SIT DOWN AND IMAGINE THE IDEAL female rocker, what would she look like? Tight leather pants, lots of mascara, black (definitely not blond) hair, and she would have to play guitar like Chuck Berry’s long-lost daughter. She wouldn’t look like Madonna or Taylor Swift. Maybe she would look something like Ronnie Spector, a little formidable and dangerous, definitely - androgynous, for sure. In fact, if you close your eyes and think about it, she would be the spitting image of Joan Jett. ^ Jett has always brought danger, defiance, and fierceness to rock & roll. Along with the Blackhearts - Jamaican slang for loner - she has never been afraid to explore her own vulnerabilities or her darker sides, or to speak her mind. It wouldn’t be going too far to call Joan Jett the last American rock star, pursuing her considerable craft for the right reason: a devo­ tion to the true spirit of the music. She doesn’t just love rock & roll; she honors it. ^ Whether she’s performing in a blue burka for U.S. troops in Afghanistan, working for PETA, or honoring the slain Seattle singer Mia Zapata by recording a live album with Zapata’s band the Gits - and donating the proceeds to help fund the investigation of Zapata’s murder - her motivation is consistent. Over the years, she’s acted as spiritual advisor to Ian MacKaye, Paul Westerberg, and Peaches.

SUZI QUATRO & Band 2019 Suzi wurde am 03.Juni 1950 in Detroit/ USA als Susan Kaye Quatro geboren – und dies ist Ihr richtiger Name. Da man den Namen Quatroki Ihres von Italien in die USA eingewanderten Großvaters nur schwer aussprechen konnte, änderte man ihn kurzerhand in Quatro. 1970 fand Suzi Quatro ihren Weg nach England, wo Sie einen Plattenvertrag bei Michie Most unterschrieb. In der Plattenszene machte die 1,57 Meter kleine und als weibliche „Elvis- Presley- Kopie“ bezeichnete Suzi Quatro erstmals 1973 auf sich aufmerksam: Gleich Ihre erste Single „Can The Can“ schoss im Mai an die Spitze der britischen Charts und sorgte weltweit für Aufsehen.

  • HYDE HALL/GREAT HYDE HALL. the Story of a Manorial Home
    HYDE HALL/GREAT HYDE HALL. The Story of a Manorial Home. The house has usually been called simply Hyde Hall. However, it is strictly speaking known as Great Hyde Hall, which of course differentiates it from the Royal Horticultural Society Garden at Hyde Hall, Chelmsford. BEGINNINGS. Being so far removed in time from the events concerned, much of the following section of this article is necessarily conjecture, but it is firmly based upon a logical extrapolation of facts. The siting of Hyde Hall is interesting. The implications and circumstantial evidence show that it may be the original site of the demesne of the first local Saxon Lord (there was no such thing as a Lord of the Manor at that time). Due to the heavy forestation of the local land, access was limited to the area around Sawbridgeworth. Rivers however, did provide a means of transport. The Saxons were quite late in arriving here, possibly not coming in numbers until after the year 500, having followed the River Stort valley. Indeed, the earliest local archaeologic Saxon finds are from the area of the river. It thus would make sense that the first Saxon Lord would site his house there. The very name ‘Sawbridgeworth’ (Saxbrixteworde in Domesday) also gives us a clue. One interpretation (there are others) of the name reads ‘Toll Bridge by the Manor’. This is taken from the following: Sax = Salt Salt was still used as a form of payment in late Roman/early Saxon times. Brixte = Bridge. Worde/Worthig = Fortified Manor. Another clue comes from Domesday which recorded a pre-existing watermill here for 1066.

  • Glam Rock by Barney Hoskyns 1
    Glam Rock By Barney Hoskyns There's a new sensation A fabulous creation, A danceable solution To teenage revolution Roxy Music, 1973 1: All the Young Dudes: Dawn of the Teenage Rampage Glamour – a word first used in the 18th Century as a Scottish term connoting "magic" or "enchantment" – has always been a part of pop music. With his mascara and gold suits, Elvis Presley was pure glam. So was Little Richard, with his pencil moustache and towering pompadour hairstyle. The Rolling Stones of the mid-to- late Sixties, swathed in scarves and furs, were unquestionably glam; the group even dressed in drag to push their 1966 single "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?" But it wasn't until 1971 that "glam" as a term became the buzzword for a new teenage subculture that was reacting to the messianic, we-can-change-the-world rhetoric of late Sixties rock. When T. Rex's Marc Bolan sprinkled glitter under his eyes for a TV taping of the group’s "Hot Love," it signaled a revolt into provocative style, an implicit rejection of the music to which stoned older siblings had swayed during the previous decade. "My brother’s back at home with his Beatles and his Stones," Mott the Hoople's Ian Hunter drawled on the anthemic David Bowie song "All the Young Dudes," "we never got it off on that revolution stuff..." As such, glam was a manifestation of pop's cyclical nature, its hedonism and surface show-business fizz offering a pointed contrast to the sometimes po-faced earnestness of the Woodstock era.
