  • 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.

  • 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.

  • We All Love Abba
    WE PRESS RELEASE: ‘WE ALL LOVE ABBA’ ALL NEW BOOK BY STANY VAN WYMEERSCH Following on from his well-received book Let’s Talk About ABBA, Stany Van LOVE Wymeersch now turns the spotlight on how musicians and other creatives from a surprising array of genres have been inspired to draw from ABBA’s ABBA mesmerizing musical canon. The artists’ narratives, from Suzi Quatro to James Last and from Pete Waterman right through to the Sex Pistols, firmly illustrate that ABBA, and their music, have clearly left an indelible fingerprint on the output of a wide and diverse range of firmly established and respected artists. Some even went so far as to integrate or recraft ABBA’s music to sculpt their own unique projects. Whilst the fascinatingly open and frank interviews of We All Love ABBA tack- le the ABBA phenomenon in a highly refreshing and global ‘pop culture’ kind of way, the selected photographs of ABBA and their peers, by renowned lensmen Stock/Aitken/Waterman - Photo: ISOPIX/REX/Shutterstock such as Brad Elterman, Govert de Roos and Aad Spanjaard, secure an enjoyable visual experience that starts in the ‘70s and ends in 2016. The icing on the cake are three unique letters written to ABBA, a photo story featuring Michiel Gunning (pop journalist/ABBA expert) and Dutch girl group Luv’, and finally, a CD-single by Belgian pop crooner Embracingfranki that fea- tures a recording at ABBA’s legendary Polar Studios. TABLE OF CONTENTS AND FACT SHEET List of interviewees - international: Pete Waterman (Stock/Aitken/Waterman), Suzi Quatro, Giorgio Moroder, Andy Scott (Sweet), Neil Sedaka, James Last, Connie Francis, Andy Bell (Erasure), Sweet - Photo: Lebrecht Music & Arts Liz Mitchell (Boney M.), Terry Uttley (Smokie), Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols), Hazell Dean, Conchita Wurst, Carl Magnus Palm (ABBA biographer), Judy Craymer (crea- tor/producer Mamma Mia!), Judy McLane (Broadway star), Rod Stephen (Björn Again), Per Herrey (Herrey’s) and Brian May (Queen).
