On Friday 22 February, inakustik will release three a compilation of three rare previously unreleased German concerts recorded and filmed in 1989, 1995 and 2000, from the Canadian blues rock guitarist, Jeff Healey.
Entitled “Jeff Healey - As The Years Go Passing By: Live in Germany 1989 – 1995 - 2000”,the concerts will be released as a 3 CD-set and as a Deluxe Edition 3CD + 2DVD. The latter includes an extensive booklet with contributions from the participating musicians and rare photos. The three concerts, “OhneFiler Extra” (1989), “Extraspätin Concert” (1995), and “OhneFilter Extra” (2000), give an insightful look into the evolution of Jeff Healey; a document of an outstanding guitarist in three distinct phases of his career. The concerts are presented as they were performed, live without the aid of studio intervention. Spanning over eleven, they document different periods of the Jeff Healey Band. “With the fifth anniversary of Jeff's passing coming up on 2nd March 2013, we were looking for a special way to commemorate and help celebrate Jeff’s life and legacy,” says Jeff’s widow, Cristie Healey. “In preparing for this release, it was important to include the participation of as many of the performers involved. Jeff’s friends and colleagues have enthusiastically shared their memories of the concerts which help make this rare live compilation extra special.” “The Jeff Healey Estate is very proud to endorse this release. It’s the first collection of archive material to be officially released with the approval of the Healey Family since Jeff left us all too soon. We are privileged to continue the legacy of his immense efforts, incredible talent and sheer love of music, for everyone to enjoy.” Disc 1 & DVD 1: Ohne Filter Extra (May 10, 1989) Jeff Healey – Guitar/Vocals Joe Rockman – Bass/Vocals Tom Stephen – Drums 1.

Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday 14 December through www.aeglive.co.uk.
With a career spanning six decades and sell out shows around the world, the writer, poet, troubadour and hugely influential artist continues to prove that the hunger to see him is undiminished. Since returning to the stage in 2008 after a 15-year hiatus, Cohen has lost nothing in his years off the road and his shows have quickly been recognised as musical history. The Guardian – “Seizing his magnificent Hallelujah back from Jeff Buckley, Rufus Wainwright and dozens more, he is possessed by the words, his eyes squeezed tight, his body trembling.” ***** Evening Standard – “On this form, Cohen could still be playing arenas at 80” Sunday Times – “The revelation of this concert wasn’t so much the music, beautifully performed as it was by a lightly amplified band who never put a foot wrong, but the persona of the man himself. Age hasn’t so much mellowed Cohen, as made him much, much funnier.” Daily Express – “Leonard Cohen is special and this concert – all two-and-a-half-hours of it – was unforgettable.” Financial Times – “Leonard Cohen’s powers of seduction are undimmed. Once they gave him the reputation of a ladies’ man. Now, almost 78, he deploys his gallantry for a different purpose – to sweep audiences off their feet” Cohen is arguably the greatest singer songwriter of modern times. At his induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, he was recognised by Lou Reed as “without question one of the most important and influential songwriters of our time, a figure whose body of work achieves greater mystery and depth as time goes one.” Don’t miss the magnetic and inimitable Leonard Cohen as he returns to London with an emotive, poignant and legendary concert not to be missed.Fans should visit www.aeglive.co.uk for the most up to date concert and ticket on sale information. A celebrated and much lauded singer/songwriter he first emerged as a major and influential talent in the early 60's. Albums like Songs Of Leonard Cohen (1967), Songs Of Love And Hate (1970) and I’m Your Man (1990), right up to 1992’s The Future, 2001’s Ten New Songs and 2004’s Dear Heather are rightly considered classics. Uniquely for a revered musician, Cohen’s literary plaudits rival those for his music. His songs have been famously covered by the great and the good, each version a fascinating attempt to move closer to Cohen’s enigmatic muse. From Judy Collins’ “Suzanne” to Jeff Buckley’s seminal rendition of “Hallelujah,” Cohen’s songs have traveled as far and wide as their author. U2, REM, Sting, Nick Cave, Rufus Wainwright and the late Johnny Cash are among other famous devotees. It is estimated that his songbook has been covered over 1,330 times by other recording artists. It has recently been announced that the quintessential English rock band The Dogs D’amour are set to reunite on stage to play two live dates at the Borderline in London on the 22nd and 23rd of February 2013 – Both these shows sold out almost immediately. An additional show at the Wolverhampton Slade Rooms - Little Civic has also been announced for March 23rd.
In the late ‘80s they were regarded as one of the coolest underground rock bands with their bluesy, heartfelt sing-along anthems and ramshackle style. With something exceptional to the norm they did not go unnoticed and appeared on Top of The Pops and MTV, graced the covers of Kerrang, RAW, and Sounds. They also toured successfully worldwide several times and created a cult like following in UK, Japan and Europe. After the band went their separate ways in the early nineties they briefly got together in 2000 to record "Happy Ever After" then in 2002 opened for Alice Cooper all over Europe and UK. Since then all members have kept their music alive through their own various guises. Frontman Tyla has continued to record many solo albums and tour as a solo artist. He is also a published writer and painter, and has developed a dedicated following. Bassist Steve formed Slyder, a funk blues band and is now a sought after luthier and has opened a successful guitar shop. Guitarist Jo is a frequently hired session musician, painter and sculptor. Drummer Bam toured USA, UK and Japan with his band Bubble and has recently launched his hand forged silver jewellery collection. Over the years fans have campaigned tirelessly for a reunion of sorts and many had given up all hope of ever seeing them back together. However news that a dear friend of the band was in need of urgent medical treatment has inspired these four kind hearts to reunite and raise funds through their music. So now for the first time the ultimate classic line up of Tyla, Steve, Jo and Bam are back! They will be performing classics such as ‘How Come It Never Rains’, 'Satellite Kid' and ‘I Don’t Want You To Go’ as well treating fans to some exquisite new material. www.thedogsdamour.com info@thedogsdamour.com LED ZEPPELIN Celebration Day Debuts at Number 4 in the Album charts Hour-long version to be shown on BBC2 on 8th December at 10:45pm Daily Telegraph: “Celebration Day is a celebration of rock ‘n’ roll at its most moving, magical and magnificent”
Daily Record: “For many this was the greatest ever concert – and not just because it was the reunion of one of rock’s greatest ever bands” Q: “If Zep never play together again, then this is as great a swansong as anyone could hope for” MOJO: “Celebration Day is a reminder of Carruthers’ statement that on December 10, 2007, you had to be there. If you weren’t, this is the next best thing” Uncut: “In amidst the hail of statistics, and judged against their own increasingly epic live shows, Celebration Day is a surprisingly intimate and human thing. On one level, another Guiness World Record broken. On another, a group of friends once more enjoying the glory of their music” 9/10 Sunday Express: “Jimmy Page rips on Whole Lotta Love like a guitarist reborn and John Bonham’s drummer son Jason acquits himself brilliantly” Guardian: “The track listing consists of what Plant calls ‘ the songs that had to be here’ – from the funky Trampled Under Foot to a skyscraper of a Kashmir – and if they never play them again, posterity could do worse than remember them this way” Daily Star: “Brilliantly filmed to put the viewer right in the action, it’s a real thrill to see the heavy metal veterans strain themselves back into those titanic riffs. A cause for celebration” 10/10 Kerrang: “One reason Led Zeppelin offered for this reformation was that they wanted to remind the world ‘what we were’. Mission accomplished” Daily Mirror: “It’s a two-hour tour de force worthy of their heyday” The Sun: “December 10, 2007, is rightly remembered as Celebration Day, the day Led Zeppelin proved once and for all they are the hard rock band by which all others must be judged… If the great Led Zeppelin have disappeared forever and this show is the last we’ll hear from them, I advise you to watch and listen…and smile” 5/5 Following rave reviews, Led Zeppelin’s Celebration Day has stormed both the music and DVD charts this week. Released on 19th November in multiple formats, the album has collected five-star reviews from the likes of Q Magazine, Kerrang, Daily Mirror, The Telegraph and MOJO amongst others. The show that compelled 20 million people to apply for tickets will also be shown as an hour-long special on BBC2 on 8th December at 10:45pm. On December 10, 2007, Led Zeppelin took the stage at London’s O2 Arena to headline a tribute concert for dear friend and Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun. What followed was a two-hour-plus tour de force of the band’s signature blues-infused rock ’n’ roll that instantly became part of the legend of Led Zeppelin. Founding members John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant were joined by Jason Bonham, the son of their late drummer John Bonham, to perform 16 songs from their celebrated catalog including landmark tracks “Whole Lotta Love,” “Rock And Roll,” “Kashmir,” and “Stairway To Heaven.” The show was originally seen only by the 18,000 ticket holders who were fortunate enough to have secured seats through the worldwide lottery. But now everyone who wished they were at the gig in 2007 can enjoy the show as if they were there After a global theatrical release in October, the band’s first headline show in 27 years is now available in the following formats: Standard Editions – 1-DVD/2-CD set and 1-Blu-ray/2-CD set · Deluxe Editions – 2-DVD/2-CD set and 1-Blu-ray/1-DVD/2-CD set featuring exclusive bonus video content including the Shepperton rehearsals.

ZP also felt that the lyrical content of the track was especially relevant in this current era, mirroring what's actually happening with the us all right now & making the timing for the single release perfect. Written by Andy Qunta, Keith Reid, Maggie Ryder and Chris Thompson, 'You're The Voice' was originally released by Aussie singer John Farnham in 1986 and was a smash hit, reaching the top 10 in most European countries.

The new album, entitled "Terms & Conditions Apply" is set for a worldwide release on January 28, 2013. It will mark the sixth release by the group and features a guest appearance from Michael Schenker (MSG, UFO, Scorpions) on a cover of ‘Reach Out (I’ll Be There)’ and by Reuben Archer (Stampede, Wild Horses, Lionheart, Lautrec) on ‘Love Is Blind'. Paul Raymond is set to play some select regional solo UK shows to promote “Terms & Conditions Apply” in the New Year, including a special headline launch show at London’s Borderline venue on Friday 1st February, before resuming his duties touring with UFO. The shows will feature Stampede vocalist Reuben Archer amongst other special guests and will showcase the new material as well as UFO classics. Regional dates are yet TBA. Paul Raymond is primarily best known for his work in UFO, having joined the band’s ranks in 1976. Beginning with “Lights Out” in 1977, to date Paul has appeared on 11 UFO albums, including the incendiary double live “Strangers In the Night”. In a varied career, he’s also been a key member in a number of acts, including 70s legends Savoy Brown, Chicken Shack, Michael Schenker Group and Waysted. The Paul Raymond Project (PRP) was first formed in 1989 in Japan featuring original lineup of Frank Di Mino (formerly of Angel) on lead vocals and Masoyoshi Yamashitu (Loudness) on bass. Paul spent 1990 writing new material, inspired by the resurgence of straight-ahead blues/rock led by bands such as the Black Crowes and the Quireboys, until, joined by guitarist Andy Simmons, the third incarnation of the project released “Man on a Mission” through Zoom Club records. It was to be nine years before Paul and Andy joined forces again and recorded “Virtual Insanity” as UFO had once again intervened. In 2010, together with bass player Mark Coles and drummer Tony Steel, they began working on “Terms & Conditions Apply”.
