"Handmade" Georg Kajanus radio special
from February 2018

As you may know my brother Karsten created and hosted his own radio show "Handmade" at our local radio station "Freies Radio Kassel" for almost 17 years. After his death in October 2016 I didn't want his proud project to fall silent, so that you can now listen to me every second Wednesday from 8 pm CET on. In commemoration of Karsten, my version of "Handmade" will continue to play all kinds of handmade music, stories about concerts we saw and much much more.
My show from 07 February 2018 was a Georg Kajanus special. You can listen to it online here:

The following words are taken from the 2016 re-release of the book "SAILOR - The Official Biography" by James McCarraher, page 255.
I found this message about Phil having decided to leave the band when I got and read the book a little while ago. Obviously something to share here. So this is what Phil says in the book:

"(...) With Georg deciding to give up live performances in 1995 and being replaced by the formidable virtuosity of Pete Lincoln, and afterwards other personnel changes over subsequent years including the arrival at various times of both of Henry's supremely talented sons, Tom, on drums, and Ollie, on lead vocals, I soldiered (or 'sailored!') on as the ship's anchorman throughout all these changes, having been (as recently reminded by Henry) the only consistent member of SAILOR since its formation in 1973. The sheer fun, laughter and special companionship of these years still make me smile every day of my life.
All referred to above are my dearest friends and I love them to bits, but sadly in regard to performing in future, all good things have to come to an end at some time, and earlier this year I too the decision with a heavy heart to no longer take part in live shows having given the performance aspect of my career the best part of my life for the last 40 years. Primarily, my decision was due not just to the question of 'Am I too old to be doing this?' (which is rubbish - as long as the audiences are there, why on earth not if you can still stand up!) but also due to regularly growing management and recording committments - that, and a need after 40 years to occasionally enjoy home life at weekends and not in a tent somewhere in Northern Europe!
But how can one 'leave' something that is so firmly embedded in one's soul? Or the part that I have played in the unique, revolutionary and incomparable musical adventure that is SAILOR? This is something I find very hard to imagine. Also having such close association with the name for so long, I supposed it's hard to use the word 'never' when it comes to recording again - or even on a VERY special occasion, perhaps even a 'final' performance somewhere if the circumstances were exceptional. We will see...
But right now, this is a special moment for me to share with you and savour as I thank everyone in the SAILOR family, especially my band colleagues, all those that over the years have helped SAILOR in a professional capacity, my own family, James, who has written this book you are reading - and above all, the loyalty and devotion of our many fans... from the bottom of my heart, thank your for making all of the music possible."
Phil Pickett June 22nd 2016

After this message, James' book continues by saying "SAILOR will continue, with Henry and Ollie at the helm. Coming to a theatre near you..."

Obviously this means that there will be some kind of new SAILOR out there on the stages for us. As soon as I know anything more about the how, where and when, you will of course find the information at this place right here.

We'll miss you aboard the SAILOR ship, Phil. Thanks for so many shows and years of music and fun and special memories. Thanks for being the only band member who was there at all my 118 SAILOR concerts. Ahoy!

All the best for the new year and thanks for your support of this little fan-website!

It is with deep sadness that I need to tell you that my brother Karsten Wagner passed away on 16 October 2016 after long illness. .
We shared almost all SAILOR and SAILOR-related journeys over the years and were lucky to become a part of a marvellous crew of band members, fans and friends.
We'll miss you, Cap K!

Thanks to Georg Kajanus for the lovely tribute on his Facebook page:

and to all SAILORs - old and new - and all the wonderful fans/friends out there for your support.
