Presenting:
A New Old-Fashioned
Retro Modern Thing featuring ex-SAILOR Rob Alderton
I'd like to introduce you to this
extraordinary new band founded by former SAILOR member
Rob Alderton. Their first album was just released last
month, and their music is somewhere between the 1950s and
the 1970s, including a lot of fun and emotions.
If you like handmade music and songs that tell a story,
you will certainly also like these this band and the 15
songs on their first album. The webmaster recommends:
"The
Retroverts: A New Old-Fashioned Retro Modern Thing...
With an original catalogue of songs, this little
big band revisits the musical styles of the 1950s
to the 1970s. Some songs are reminiscent of the great
crooners such as Bing Crosby or Dean Martin,
while others are more akin to the sound of bands like The
Carpenters. Memorable melodies, drawing on Swing,
Jazz, Blues and Rock & Roll, with whimsical words,
create a subtle humour throughout.
Fronting The Retroverts is Harriet Green, who has wowed
audiences at recent performances with her mesmerizing
vocal tone, mature interpretation and effortless
phrasing. Band leader, Rob Aldertons skill as a
pianist has led him to perform throughout the world with
artists such as Sir Cliff Richard and in West
End shows including Les Misérables and Joseph.
Come and be a part of the Retroverts experience and
discover the Retrovert in you!"
If you're

live
in Heide (Germany) 03 April 2009
You
can now see new photos and some video impressions of the SAILOR concert in Heide, Germany,
on 03 April 2009 at the Concert
Photos-section.
Special thanks must go to SAILOR fan Uli Neumann who had made the
Event possible together with Klaus Stotzem, the owner of the
car-dealership where it all happened. It was great to see so many
people in the audience dressed as sailors. A special idea of Mr.
Stotzem which made it all a fun night as well.
Grant Serpell was injured around the time of this event, so that
he wasn't able to play. He was replaced by Henry's son/Oliver's
brother: Thomas Marsh. Tom did a fantastic job and we're very
thankful for his help and very impressed by his playing. Thanks
Tom!!
This was the last SAILOR concert with Oliver Marsh who leaves the band to pursue his career
in opera. We wish Ollie all the best and thank him for 30 great
months of SAILOR music and fun!!
Best wishes and
SAILOR-greetings,

Grant
Serpell injured - replaced by Thomas Marsh at the April and May
concerts!
I've just talked to Grant who has a bad
hand-injury at the moment, due to an accident. He wasn't
able to play at the two gigs last weekend, and he won't
be able to play at the gigs this weekend either.
He was and will be replaced for a couple of concerts by
Henry's son/Oliver's brother: Thomas Marsh.
Tom already was on stage with SAILOR last weekend and did
a fantastic job, as I was told!
We send our best wishes to Grant for a speedy recovery.
Get well soon, Schlagzeuger!!!

In Concert
Heide 2009 Don't miss
SAILOR's headline concert in Heide, Germany on 03 April
2009!!
Date
and Location:
Friday 03
April 2009 at 8.00 pm, at the Autohaus
Stotzem, Heide, Germany
On 03 April 2009
SAILOR will play a very special headline concert in Heide
(Germany). The event is presented by "Stotzem-Together" and will take
place at the Autohaus
Stotzem, Süderdamm 1-3, 25746 Heide, Germany.
Admittance: 7 pm
Beginning: 8 pm
Tickets are available at all Stotzem-dealerships or via
phone at 0481/6800-0. Ticket price 20,00 Euro.
SAILOR will play in the line up with Oliver Marsh, Henry
Marsh, Phil Pickett and Grant Serpell. We hope to see
many other fans there!
Here's a newspaper article promoting the concert:
Popgroup "SAILOR"
at Stotzem
Concert at "Süderdamm" latest highligh in the
"Stotzem Together" concert-series
Heide: These news are old
news: "Girls Girls Girls" and "A Glass Of
Champagne" were superhits in the 1970s and SAILOR
was the band.
These news are new: SAILOR is coming to Heide.
Skilfully, the british pop-band knew how to play and to
the gallery: With white sailor-caps and sailor-outfit in
proper style, they thrilled their fans.
In 1979 the band split up, but in the beginning of the
90s they had their comeback with "The
Secretary" among others.
Since then, the band has remained well known in
pop-business - and espacially on Oldie Festivals - a big
attraction.
Not only because of SAILOR, "Stotzem together"
at the Volkswagen dealership at the
"Süderdamm" is an event not to miss. Before
SAILOR, "Curtis in Memphis" is going to put the
heat to the audience. When lead-singer Thomas Gätje
starts to perform Elvis-Songs it seems if Elvis sang
himself.
After the performance of the pop-heroes SAILOR,
"Curtis in Memphis" want to enter the stage
again to invite the audiance to the after-show-party.
"Curtis in Memphis" and SAILOR as
double-concert, no doubt this is a real hit! Car dealer
Klaus Stotzem almost has to be calmed down when he starts
to be crazy about the two bands. He is noticably heavily
thrilled about the two bands.
"We invented an additional gag", said Stotzem,
"people who come to the concert in sailor-costumes
will receive a service voucher for their cars."
How will the Stotzem-crew be dressed that night? Be
surprised... 3rd of April, Partytime at Stotzem, a date
not to miss.
An important notice: There will be a lot of space in the
Volkwagen dealership at the "Süderdamm", but
tickets are limited. Presale just began, the entry-fee is
affordable. TIckets are available at all dealerships of
the Stotzem-group.

"I've
had many emails and general inquiries asking me if I will
be rejoining SAILOR in 2009. For the sake of SAILOR's
devotees, I feel that I should let you all know that I
will not be taking the helm again. After meeting up with
the other members of the band recently, it became clear
that my creative vision of SAILOR was incompatible with
the direction the band wants to pursue. However, as
always, I wish SAILOR all the best for the future.
For those of you who are interested in my current
creative activities, I'm now rewriting my SAILOR musical
with the assistance of a professional playwright. This is
an expansion of my original musical theatre concept that
effectively became the group SAILOR in the 1970s, with
the addition of several brand new songs that Ive
composed that were inspired by some new plot twists.
Please keep an eye on www.kajanus.com and www.sailor-music.com for the latest news about this and
other projects.

Announcement
from about their future...
Just in... newsletter from SAILOR:
"SAILOR
are looking forward to announcing their new lead singer
who will be appearing with the band from the end of April
2009. Rehearsals are going very well and we are very
excited about the future and particularly about the
creative possibilities our new vocalist will bring to the
party. More details to follow very soon.
However in the meantime, Oliver Marsh has kindly agreed
to resume his role as lead singer for a limited period
only for the first few shows from the end of March and
early April in the UK, Holland and Germany to enable the
band to fully rehearse the new SAILOR production for 2009
and beyond.
The band are extremely grateful to have Ollie on board
for a few more shows. After these shows are completed we
will be officially announcing our new singer.
2009 promises to be a very exciting and busy year and we
look forward to seeing all you very soon!
SAILOR"
