FREE LIVE AT THE BBC
Released by Universal Music Catalogue on 18th September 2006 (cat no 9840662)
Complete surviving BBC recordings available for the first time, including tracks recently unearthed in Paul Kossoffs personal archive
Marking the 30th anniversary of Paul Kossoffs tragic death, the painstakingly compiled Free - Live at the BBC is an extraordinary album which brings together all the surviving BBC Sessions and Concerts on two discs, most of which have never been officially released and many of which have not even appeared on bootlegs and were found within Kossoffs personal archive.
From their very first session in 1968 (represented here by Waiting on You) just months after they formed (and recorded just a few days after Andy Frasers 16th birthday), through to their last official recording for the beeb, In Concert for John Peel in July 1970, this compilation captures the rise of one of the UKs most talented blues-rock bands.
Whilst some of the material has surfaced as bonus material on reissues, the bulk of it has never before been available; Sugar For Mr Morrision (found amongst Paul Kossoffs tapes) Woman, Ill Be Creepin Trouble On Double Time and Mouthful of Grass In Session tracks and both the In Concert performances are officially released here for the first time. The December 1969 session for Top Gear didnt even made it to bootleg, and was found recently in Paul Kossofs private archive.
Whilst some of the songs featured in this release comes from the original masters from the BBC many of the recordings were recorded over by the beeb at the time, and as a result much of the remaining material has been collated from fans recordings of the original broadcasts, and some were even recently discovered in Paul Kossoffs personal collection.
In order to put together a complete collection, some of the material that appears on the album is of less-than-perfect quality, but nevertheless represents the most comprehensive collection ever released. As David Clayton says in his sleevenotes, Paul Kossoff had a habit of recording song ideas over any tape that was to hand. As a result, the recording of Mr Big from the Top Gear session of December 1969 has been lost, and the start of Ill be Creeping was clipped by Kossoff, which is why the track fades in a few seconds into the song.

Cormac Neeson - Vocals
Paul Mahon - Guitar
Michael Waters - Bass
James Heatley - Drums
The Answer are four lads hailing from Downpatrick in Northern Ireland.
Raised on a heady diet of Led Zeppelin, Free, The Who and The Black Crowes, The Answers contemporary take of bluesy, riff heavy hard rock is starting to turn heads especially with the recent release of their debut EP Keep Believin in July 2005. This has has helped secure them a place on the forthcoming "New School Of Rock Tour" this autumn alongside The Sound Explosion and Tokyo Dragons.
The Darkness and Alter Bridge have already lent their praise by asking them to support them on their winter tour of 2004. At a recent London gig none other than Jimmy Page stood and watched their set from side of stage and theyve already played at a Phil Lynott memorial benefit gig in Dublin as Lynotts mother is a big fan. So big in fact that she allowed Mahon to be the first since Lynotts death to open his bass case and play the revered black iconic bass axe! Its the same black bass that appears in the video to Keep Believin.
The Answer will be special guests at the Royal Albert Hall !! :-))
A tribute to the Marquee Club in London,
the temple of 3 decades of rock, blues, and jazz.

Hot New Artist !!!!
Check out this very cool singer/songwriter
One of Atlanta's most buzz-worthy artists has release his new album Rain and Flies and it is already said to be Brian Wiltsey's best work to date. Wanting to write more band oriented songs this time around, this album definitely rocks more than his previous projects. Already known for his dynamic, soulful voice, it just gets stronger and stronger with each album.
Rain and Flies starts off with a darker love song called "On My Own" with a great line in the chorus, "On my own I will fake it through the night, there is so much more to tell you but nothing left to say, I'll just be on my way."
The album takes many turns and dynamic changes with the song moods describing the lighter and darker moments of relationships it finally finishes on a bittersweet anthem entitled "Tomorrow Can Wait". Here, Brian, sets the scene as the last night on earth with the person you love. The final words you hear are "Goodnight my love, goodnight". It's a very cool ending to a fine bunch of songs.
The first single is "You Make It Better". This song has already been recorded a few different ways. The new album version takes a darker, more british sounding approach that brings a stronger and emotional mood to the song that it lacked before.
Brian is currently putting together a summer/fall tour to promote the album. If his live shows are any indication, Brian Wiltsey is going places.
If you buy his cd on line, I am 100% sure it wont come out your cd player !!!!
My name is Spencer Durham. I am 17 years old, and I live in Dahlonega Ga. Ive been playing gigs all over the country for the past 2 years. I have toured with Craig Collins and Kurt Thomas out in Texas and I have opened for country star Sara Evans. I released my first cd, "I Wonder Why", last year and it is on sale at many stores In the North Georgia area. In October I placed 2nd in the acoustic devision and top four out of 128 acts at the Open Mic Madness competition at Smiths Olde Bar. Also, I placed 3rd runner up at the Open Mic Atlanta Songwriters Competition with my song "I Wonder Why." I am an independent musician and I pay for all my equiptment and production costs by gig pay, cd sales and fan support. I do support the burning and trading of my cds and live shows, but I ask that my fans come to my shows and support my music.
