He later played drums for many great artists including Cliff Bennet, Zoot Money, Lol Williams, Freddie Starr, Gary Wilmot and literally scores more, touring the international stage in the process. Darren is now a successful music producer and DJ.
Royston Smith - AXE - Having gigged the London pub and club scene for the last 10 yrs this mad axeman's Les Paul cries and screams for ALL RIGHT NOW. He has shared the stage with Johnny Warman, Henry McCullough, Johnny Fean etc...

Hey Joe- (Paul Rogers,Brian May,Vai,Satriani,Nuno) EXPO '92
Paul Rodgers, legendary singer/songwriter of Free, Bad Company, The Firm and Queen + Paul Rodgers is celebrating his 40th anniversary as a recording artist in 2008. Bursting onto the music scene in 1968 and forming British rock band Free, Rodgers has released over 30 albums with sales exceeding 92 million.
Rodgers wrapped up an amazing year in 2007 writing and recording a new Queen + Paul Rodgers album, due in 2008. An invitation from the Led Zeppelin camp followed and he performed solo for their highly anticipated reunion show at Londons O2 Arena.
Rodgers recently performed with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra for 80,000 plus fans, to which he said I have never been so deeply moved on so many levels at once; musically, visually, personally and even spiritually. Visionary Paul ONeill (mastermind behind the Trans-Siberian Orchestra) has created a wonderland of light and sound. Performing with them was pure magic. To cap it all off, Rodgers concert DVD Live in Glasgow recently achieved Gold status. Live in Glasgow hit the charts at #1 in Canada and peaked at #3 in the U.S. This particular Gold award is sweet and special in my 40th year as a recording artist, said Rodgers. It celebrates the power of music and the fans.
Rodgers ended the year with a sold-out New Years show which was streamed live online with an estimated 50,000+ logging on to celebrate at: www.eq.tv/paulrodgers
Currently, Rodgers is set to present at the 2008 Pollstar Awards in Los Angeles, February 7th and in June, Queen + Paul Rodgers will perform at Nelson Mandelas 90th Birthday Concert in Hyde Park with a highly anticipated European tour to follow this summer.

violinist Anna Phoebe has checked in with the following update
The BEST of all was the amazing special guest we had for the Dallas and Houston shows - the legend Paul Rodgers joined us to sing 'Bad Company' and 'All Right Now' - INCREDIBLE!!!! When Paul O'Neill was introducing him to the stage you could just see the look of shock on people's faces - and then when he started singing it was TOTAL GOOSEBUMPS!!! I have to say - him, his wife and the people he surrounds himself with MUST officially be the NICEST people in rock n roll.

He's SO lovely!
Haha - I got to play claves for 'All Right Now' - my percussion debut! It was SUCH a thrill being on stage with him...actually, even more amazing was when Angus and I ran out into the audience at the very end - I was standing on the riser behind the soundboard looking back on the stage watching the last minute of 'All Right Now', just thinking how utterly CRAZY it was that I had just come from THAT stage - Paul Rodgers with the lights, the singers, the band - it was SMOKING HOT!!!

| Jordan Gonzalez, 15, plays with Chicago Joe Jones and his band at Maddy's Rib & Blues Joint in Decatur. | ||
|
The guitar tells the sordid story. The strings seem to scream with pain as his fingers run from high-to-low extremes. The minute-long intro brings a once-chatty crowd to near silence.
Finally, with the pent up aggression of a man separated from his woman too long, he steps to the mic: "Well, it's flooding down in Texas, and all the telephone lines are down. I said, it's flooding down in Texas baby, and all of the telephone lines are down. I've been trying to call my baby, but I can't get a single sound."
After his stirring rendition of "Texas Flood," Jordan flashes a quick smile at his parents. They applaud wildly, as does everybody else in the place, at the performance their 15-year-old son had put on.
"I'd say he's definitely one of those people who was born to play the guitar," Andrew Black, a local musician said. "A lot of kids know the notes, but they just don't have the feel for it. He does."
Jordan, a 10th grader at Pace Academy in Atlanta, is a self-proclaimed "shy guy" at school. But after the final bell of the day rings, he causes quite a stir with his guitar.
His musical abilities are not exactly a surprise as his mother, Micki Gonzalez has multiple degrees in music and is a choral director. Jordan has taken lessons since he was 11 and been on stage since he was 12, playing wherever he could. Juggling school work with his budding music career is something he enjoys.
"That's what's really special about Jordan," said Chicago Joe Jones, Jordan's former guitar teacher. "He's committed to the music. He's really committed to being a part of the music."
Jordan's parents have also made a commitment to his music, which is especially helpful because he doesn't have a driver's license. He won't be 16 until March, so one or both of his parents accompany him to every gig.
"I'm the driver and part-time roadie," joked his father, an attorney. "I also double as an equipment guy too, I guess."
There are some places Jordan's not allowed to play, because of his age. The young musician hopes that will be the only age-related barrier that will get in his way.
"I really want people to enjoy the music because it's good, not because it's good for someone my age," he said.
This particular night at Maddy's in Decatur, Jordan isn't the youngest one on stage. Jones hosts a jam on Thursdays and encourages his students to come and play before a live audience. Jordan is, however, the youngest in the house band, led by Jones. Jordan performs with Jones' group several times a week, when his schedule allows.
"This kid really is something special," Jones said. "And he's only getting better."
Last year, Jones needed a rhythm man in his band for the 2006 Atlanta Blues Challenge. He asked Jordan to join the band and retire his student status. It was the first time Tommy Brown, an Atlanta blues artist, saw him.
"He was really green," Brown recalled. "At that time he didn't know much about stage presence and things like that."
A year later, "Fantastic!" is how Brown describes Jordan's progress.
Over the past three years Jordan has thrown himself into his music. He's started a band of his own, Swagger, with three of his friends and taken to the live performances he used to not be so fond of. He's also focused on being a better rhythm player, one of the harder aspects of playing guitar, he said.
"If you really want to be good, you've got to learn how to back somebody up," Jordan said. "You've really got to know when to pull back and how to stay out of the way. There's no substitute for learning that, you've just got to get out there an embarrass yourself a few times and then you'll get it."
"I've done that a lot," he added with a laugh.
Jordan's growth also includes the depth and breadth of the music he plays and enjoys. He's decided he wants to make a career out of being a musician and he plans to add song writing to his list of talents. He's looking forward recording some of his work and "really branching out as an artist," he said.
"When you play with people who are so much better than you, it really makes you want to get better, you know?"
Jordan has the potential of becoming the newest hottest guitarist around
You wait and see !!!
