Terry Slesser
'New'
Website Launched
a.k.a Terry Wilson-Slesser. A world class vocalist from the N.E of England who started his career in the clubs and pubs of Newcastle on Tyne and surrounding area.
Spotted by top promoter Geoff Docherty, Terry, and his band at the time Beckett, were asked by Ricky Barnes to play at the Top Ten Club in Hamburg where they played 8 sets a night for a 15 day stint - a feat which they repeated weeks later. It was these Hamburg gigs that made the band so tight, that lead to a deal with W.E.A records: Ricky Barnes' stories of THE BEATLES and their time at the Star Club and the Top Ten were fascinating to the young Sless - an album produced by Roger Chapman - and one of Noel Edmonds' favourite singles Little Girl' was released.
Major tours with Slade, Rod Stewart & Faces, Capt BeefHeart, Wizzard, 'Free' and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - with whom Terry guested at Reading Festival 1974 (courtesy of the magnificent Jack Barry from the Marquee club where Sless made countless appearances with various luminaries i.e. Crawler, Huey Lewis & Phil Lynott)

Queen + Paul Rodgers
Check out for your local affiliate station HERE
While there is no denying that both the CD and DVD of Queen + Paul Rodgers "Return of the Champions" is spectacular to hear and to watch, there can be no comparison to witnessing this tour de force in person. Now, you have the limited opportunity to do exactly that. It's a chance to be there to see Rock history first hand, an evening to file in your memory bank for immediate recall any time you choose. We at ROCKLINE strongly suggest you have tickets in hand well before they head your way. The extravaganza begins March 3rd in Miami, FL and steamrolls its way into twenty-three carefully selected, and highly fortunate, North American cities. Allow us to make the acquisition of tickets easy for you. Simply log on at QueenPlusPaulRodgers.com and click on tour dates. You can take it from there.
We feel very fortunate that the Champions are returning to our show to chat with you directly, and fill the air with some of the best music ever created and performed. The last time the gentlemen (and kick ass Rockers) joined us many months ago they had but two certain concert dates, one each in the New York City and Los Angeles areas. With nearly two dozen concerts planned things have certainly changed, much as the set list has compared to the CD and DVD recorded in Sheffield, England last year. Let's face it; there are simply too many good songs available from these Rock superstars to not shake things up a bit. This is a fact good for us and, no doubt, stimulating for the band as well. Fortunately, with Queen and Paul Rodgers there is a vast repertoire from which to choose and many of their songs are transcendent and have become full blown anthems. Each upcoming show promises to be a night to remember. Ask anyone who saw them in New York or L.A.
If you missed your chance to speak with Brian May, Roger Taylor and Paul Rodgers last time, here comes another one. But, as with this historical tour itself, it could be your last chance, at least with this dynamic pairing. DON'T MISS THE SHOW!!! Queen + Paul Rodgers live in concert and their appearance on ROCKLINE!

Welcome Joe !!
Simon returns from Fantasy Camp
Update from Simon Kirke.
Hi everybody...
I just returned from the Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp. It was very satisfying but very tiring. I had to whip a band of 8 musicians (five of which were guitarists!) into a reasonable rock band in just 4 days. There were roughly 120 campers divided into 12 bands. Roger Daltrey was on hand once again as were Cheap Trick, Lisa Loeb, Tommy Shaw from Styx and Neal Schon the guitar whiz from Journey. Each band had to lear a classic rock song as well as a Who song for a battle of the bands at the House of Blues in Hollywood . My band-which I dubbed "Leap of Faith"- did Movin On and Join Together in the Band...and we came in 2nd . I was elated to see the faces of my band as they had worked so hard to get it right. We must have done each song a hundered times but the work paid off. Joaquin Phoenix made a suprise visit and we wished him well at the Oscars next month.
If anyone was at the gigs at the Bein Inn send in a review...tell me what you thought. I had a ball by the way. Cant wait to go back there again.
Best to everyone: Simon.

It's a Long Way Home
Music fans should need no introduction to Frankie Miller the man described by Rod Stewart as, the greatest white singer ever, but for the uninitiated, heres a brief synopsis. Frankie recorded nine chart albums for the Chrysalis and Mercury labels between 1972 - 1986 which yielded between them the hit singles, Be Good To Yourself and Darlin. He is one of the legends of the British music scene, with a powerful voice that has drawn numerous comparisons. His distinctive voice and song writing ability have earned him the respect of his peers and that is reflected in the number of world renowned artists, including Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker, Etta James, Cher, The Everly Brothers, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Ray Charles, who have covered his songs.
Here at long last, is an album of previously unreleased material recorded in the 1990s. The album showcases Frankies legendary vocal talents as well as focusing on Frankie the songwriter. One number, Youre The Star has already been a 1995 hit single for Rod Stewart. The album features appearances from, amongst others, The Eagles Joe Walsh, Nicky Hopkins of The Jeff Beck Group and Ian Wallace (King Crimson / Bob Dylan), who alongside Chrissie Stewart made up the band Fire And Brimstone. The numbers included here from this line up include the much sought after Guilty Of The Crime. Co-writers on the album include Will Jennings (Eric Clapton / Celine Dion) and Jerry Lynn Williams (Eric Clapton). Frankie the interpreter is highlighted on the albums two cover versions, The Rose the song made famous by Bette Midler in the film of the same name and Hell Have To Go previously immortalised by country legend Jim Reeves.
The album cuts a path from acoustic ballads to out and out rockers via country and soul tinged tracks, encapsulating Frankies wide variety of musical styles.
From Bridgeton Scotland via international success across America and Europe its been A Long Way Home.
He is a natural !

A Florida native, Kevin's music career as a steady income earningprofessional began in his early teens. He began touring the country with a "show" band at the age of fourteen with a school tutor in tow. |
Returning to Florida after being based in the west for eight years, Kevin was in search of the most driving, hard rocking band he could find. This came true with the group "Nova Rex." While touring with this Canadian rock monster, they recorded the CD Turn It Up Loud. He was offered the gig for the highly successful band "Eli" which were heavy in the show aspect of rock. He eventually left Eli to join "Circus." This was a Florida supergroup that packed every show and won many awards for their self titled release. Although very happy with the progress of "Circus," the opportunity to play with Damon Johnson in a project with major backing won him over. The result was the group "Chyld" (later changed the name to "Brother Cane"). This band signed with Virgin records in 1990.
The record label pulled the band off the road for far to long for Kevin's taste and he was offered the gig with the legendary "Pat Travers Band." Being a huge fan of Travers' music and knowing that this would instantly put him on a national level, he signed up. The fact that Peter "Mars" Cowling was on bass and Jerry Riggs rounded out that lineup made the band a force to be reckoned with. While recording Just A Touch with Pat Travers, Mike Varney informed Pat that Leslie West was set to record but kept kicking drummers out the door.. Kevin went to the studio and had the gig in less than a minute of playing time. "It was one of the very best experiences of my career so far." said Kevin, "Les was looking for a deep pocket hard hitter and that's my style". Steve Hunter (Peter Gabriel, David Lee Roth, etc.) played on the record (Dodgin' The Dirt) as well.
Since then Kevin has toured and recorded with some of the very best this business has to offer including Rick Derringer, Howard Leese, Mark Andes of "Heart", Jeff Carlisi from "38 Special", Zakk Wylde, Gary Hoey and southern rockers "The Outlaws" among others. Kevin joined former "Bad Company" singer Brian Howe's band and toured many exotic parts of the world. As well as being in the same group with his long time friends and great players Dean Aicher (guitar) and Miguel Gonzales (bass), the nonstop touring for over two decades started to take its toll. While still with Brian Howe, Kevin met drummer extraordinaire Mark Schulman who was with Foreigner at that time. Kevin says of Mark: "Mark has been a great source of inspiration and a great friend who has helped me in many areas." Kevin took six months off (fortunately before suffering complete burnout) -- the rest once again lit the fire that burns in the souls of "lifer" musicians. Recently, Kevin received a call from Mark Schulman informing Kevin of the Lou Gramm Tour drumming position and now, the next chapter begins. Kevin says: "It is a complete honor to play with Lou and his band and I look very forward to the tour! This band is going to floor people!!"
