year break I have decided that it is time to put my trekking boots back on

benefits that teenagers get by being in one of these wonderful units where
their chances of recovery increase by 15%. 'Nuff

Andrew Gold Dies From
Heart Attack At 59
Singer / songwriter Andrew Gold has
died at the age of 59 from a heart attack. Gold was best known for his 1977 hit
‘Lonely Boy’ and 1978’s ‘Thank You For Being A Friend’, the later became the
theme for the hit TV series The Golden Girls that ran from 1985-1992. Gold continued in TV writing the
theme song for ‘Mad About You’ known as ‘Final Frontier’. Andrew Gold was born in Burbank. His
mother Marni Nixon was the singing voice for many
Hollywood actresses. She was the real singer for Natalie Wood in ‘West Side
Story’, Deborah Karr in ‘The King And I’ and Audrey Hepburn in ‘My Fair
Lady’. His father Ernest Gold was an Academy Award winning composer. He wrote
the music for ‘Exodus’. Gold’s first band Bryndie featured Kenny Edwards, Wendy Waldman and Karla Bonoff. He worked closely with Linda Ronstadt as
multi-instrumentalist on five of her albums from 1974’s ‘Heart Like A Wheel’
and onwards. His big hit ‘Lonely Boy’ was
featured in the movies ‘Boogie Nights’ and ‘The Waterboy’. Andrew Gold worked with Art
Garfunkel on the ‘Breakaway’ album. He played every instrument on Art’s solo
hit ‘I Only Have Eyes For You’. He also played guitar and drums on Eric
Carmen’s ‘She Did It’. Andrew has sung on records or played
live with three of the four Beatles, Paul McCartney, John Lennon and Ringo Starr and has toured with the Eagles and Jackson
Browne. A big 10CC fan, after the band broke
up in the 80’s Gold formed Wax with Graham Gouldman.
They were together for 5 years and delivered the hits ‘Right Between Your
Eyes’ and ‘Bridge To Your Heart’. Roy, Dave and Val send our sincerest
condolences and heartfelt wishes to his family and friends on behalf of all
10cc, Wax and Andrew Gold fans everywhere. |

Taking a break from touring… Having
completed the UK and European tours for early 2011, Graham is making an
appearance on a television food chat show… Chat Masala,
on May 8th. Seabright Productions are
proud to present Chat Masala, at E4 Udderbelly
this Summer; a chat show with culinary leanings, from Hardeep
Singh Kohli - a man of many words and even more
ingredients. If
music be the food of love play on, play on. Obviously had TV been invented in
Shakespeare's day he would probably have said "if chat show formats be
the food of love, eat on and chat on as well". Probably. During
these two unmissable shows, not only will audiences
hear from some of the biggest names of Stage, TV and the world of Cookery but
the big names will be fed as well. Lamb Curry, Butter Chicken, Aloo Gobi and Spam Pakora are
just some of the delicacies Hardeep will cook while
interviewing. Food
and fun and famous folk – what more could you want on a Summer’s afternoon? May 8th - The
Foodie Show Bryn Williams - A familiar face
from Saturday Kitchen, Bryn shot to fame when he won The Great British Menu to cook the fish course for the Queen
Mother's 80th birthday. Having worked for Marco Pierre White and Michael
Roux, Bryn is now owner and chef of Odettes in Primrose Hill. Russell Norman - As Operations
Director of Caprice Holdings, he
was responsible for launching the new oyster bar at Sheekey’s
and planning the company’s other openings in Dubai and New York. He gave all
that up to open his own restaurants, Polpo, Polpetto and now Spuntino which have quickly
become Soho staples. Graham Gouldman (10CC) - Songwriter,
musician and founder member of 10CC.
He has written hit songs for The Yardbirds and The
Hollies in the 60's and is in the middle of an extensive 10CC tour. |

Mick Wilson – So The Story Goes We spoke with Mick
Wilson yesterday about his new album and he filled in a few blanks for us… Well, what started out a couple of years ago with Graham and myself just sitting down with two acoustics has finally ended up with an album that I’m really proud of. Initially, I just wanted to get Graham involved to give my songs a “once-over” and get some songwriting advice. We then wrote a couple of tunes from scratch that we were happy with and got some good reaction from people we trust. That snowballed into people asking if I was going to make a whole album of my material, who would be involved and would I be playing it live etc. So we decided to write some more tunes and found that the partnership worked really well and we were both pleased with the results. Long story short - Peter Robinson, who was Graham’s A&R man when he and Andrew Gold were in Wax, heard a few tracks and said that he would like to be involved in getting the album out on his record label. After setting a date that we needed to finish the album by (the start of the 2011 UK tour), we spent the last 3 or 4 months finishing 10 tunes together that have all ended up on the album. As you can imagine, Graham’s influence has been immense and it became very obvious from the start that the album would be a joint production. As I say on the album notes, it has been a great experience and has turned out exactly how I imagined it to be. Straight ahead pop songs with lots of harmonies, even more guitars(!) and a little dash of that old 10cc humour. Oh yes, Rick Fenn helped out on
a few tracks on the album, which, by the way, is called “So The Story Goes” |

Without
The Beatles… TV producer Des Burkinshaw contacted
us this week. Here’s what he had to say… I've just interviewed Eric, Kevin, Graham and Lol separately for a film I'm making called Without the Beatles. 10cc will play quite a
prominent part in it. Maybe you and the 10cc fan club website can help? The point of our film is to show how the Beatles had many knock-on
effects. All 4 of 10cc claim “no Beatles no 10cc”. I’m looking at the impact Lol & Kev's video work had
as well as the impacts of Strawberry on music - neither of which would have
happened without the Beatles. However, what would be interesting would be to
find a 10cc fan who met his partner through 10cc (at a gig maybe) and as a
result got married and had children with one of those grown-up children now a
GP or something? To expand the point a bit more… if someone had a kid who
became a doctor, I'd be saying; "because of the Beatles, people are
getting medical treatment etc". It's about bringing the chain of events
as close to the present day as possible. For example, neither of you could
run the 10cc fan club without the Beatles because all 4 members of 10cc claim
there would be no 10cc. Kev in fact said it was the
only musical constant between the four of them. Has running the club had any
consequences? Did you meet your partner? Did it save your life? Did you meet
a life-changing friend? etc. You have to use your
imagination a bit! You get the idea - I've been all over the world looking for
those stories but am glad to be featuring 10cc. They were my 2nd fave band after the Beatles and I’ve been in contact with
all 4 since we tried to get a BBC documentary off the ground when I was on
the staff 10 years ago now. People with stories can get in touch with me
using des@withoutthebeatles.com
or by the Facebook page “without the beatles”. Cheers, Des I almost forgot to mention that there is a guitar signed by,
among several others, all 4 of the original 10cc members on our website. I will be auctioning it off
at the end of production for the Teenage Cancer Trust. So, can anyone help Des? We will be keeping you updated with
how the film is progressing, scheduled programming dates, etc etc as and when we get any more details. Des also
supplied us with our new front page picture. |
