BOX OF FROGS  -  1986  STRANGE LAND  rem.2011.

More eclectic and more experimental, Strange Land is really too diverse and too far removed from Box Of Frogs to maintain any momentum gained from the initial success of the band.

PINK  FLOYD  -  THE  REUNION CONCERT  2005.

Held 18 years ago today, Live 8 saw a string of historic concerts take place in the G8 states on July 2nd 2005. The run of shows were iconic for a number of reasons, a time when the great and the good of music came together to fight against global poverty which even saw Pink Floyd’s full line-up reunite for one last time at London’s Hyde Park.

Organised by Bob Geldof, and watched by an estimated three billion people worldwide, the London event was just one in a series of concerts held around the globe in Philadelphia, Paris, Berlin, Rome and elsewhere.

The Hyde Park concert saw the likes of Paul McCartney performing with U2 as well as a solo set from the former Beatle. The Who also took to the stage as did The Killers, Snoop Dogg, Madonna and a bizarre duet of T. Rex’s ‘Children of the Revelation’ from Elton John and Peter Doherty. 

Despite the big names in attendance, it was Floyd’s reunion that was the show-stealer.

On 2 July 2005, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright performed together as Pink Floyd for the first time in more than 24 years, at the Live 8/Make Poverty History concert in London’s Hyde Park. 

They performed 4 songs from the DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.

Three years later RICHARD WRIGHT left this world.

VAN  MORRISON  - MOVING ON SKIFFLE  2cd  2023.

The 44th album of V.M Moving On Skiffle’ finds him taking a homemade style that exploded across Britain in the mid-1950s and infusing it with a level of sophistication and soulfulness that it didn’t always possess the first time around.  The 23-track album goes to the heart of the music Van Morrison has inhabited ever since he was six years old, hanging out in the smoky confines of Belfast’s Atlantic Records. It also contains songs that underline, in their messages on the importance of freedom and living on your own terms, his lifetime philosophy.

Van Morrison says, “I was still in school when I performed with a skiffle band – a couple of guitars, washboard, tea-chest bass.  I was already familiar with Lead Belly’s recordings so when I heard Lonnie Donegan’s version of ‘Rock Island Line’ I intuitively understood what he was creating, I knew that it was what I wanted to do. It was like an explosion. This record retranslates songs from that era. Rocknloadmag

ERIC  BURDON  - MIRAGE   2009

Released 27/07/2009. Recorded in Los Angeles in 1973, Mirage was one of the finest albums of the 1970s by Animals front man Eric Burdon. The soundtrack for a proposed United Artists film with the Vietnam War as its subject matter, the music recorded by Burdon such as Dragon Lady, River of Blood, Mind Arc and Driftin / Geronimos Last Stand was some of the finest of his career.

Exploring the genres of rock, psychedelia and African beats, the sessions also saw Burdon record the song Mirage, written by Jimi Hendrix on the night he died. Sadly, first the film and latterly a proposed double album release by Atlantic Records were shelved and the Mirage album and sessions were consigned to the archives. This CD release on Esoteric Recordings makes for the album  CD debut in the UK.

Producer – Eric Burdon

Vocals – Eric Burdon

Bass – Randy Rice
