29 October 2021:

New FRONTM3N album "Enjoy The Ride"

The new album of FRONTM3N - Pete Lincoln (known from The Sweet, SAILOR), Peter Howarth (known from The Hollies) and Mick Wilson (known from 10CC) - is released on 29 October 2021. It features only FRONTM3N-own songs written by Pete, Peter and Mick and is extremetly entertaining and versatile. You can buy the album from all the usual online music stores.
The three musicians already know each other since their work for Sir Cliff Richard in the 90s and have created this special project with songs from all their bands and projects.
Also check them out on their tour (dates at
www.frontm3n.de).

Press info:
The "British Eagles" are here. Enjoy The Ride", the new work by FRONTM3N, will be released on 29 October 2021.
The second studio album by Peter Howarth (The Hollies), Pete Lincoln (Ex-The Sweet) and Mick Wilson (Ex-10CC) impresses with great melodies, impressive harmony vocals, fresh sound and finest songwriting.
Unlike their 2018 debut album, when the star trio served the fans mostly great new arrangements of the mega-hits of their "old" bands, the new disc contains twelve brand-new songs written by themselves and finely produced by Mick Wilson, which nevertheless fully sound like FRONTM3N and also let fans of Toto and the Eagles completely get their money's worth.

Ex-SAILOR-captain Pete Lincoln joins Smokie

On 19 April 2021 ex-SAILOR-captain Pete Lincoln shared the following surprise with us:

"SMOKIE
I’m absolutely delighted to bring you the news that I am embarking on an exciting new adventure. With immediate effect, I am joining Smokie, and will be with them on all future live dates . . . as soon as circumstances allow.
My relationship with the band goes back a long way, in fact we have been great friends for more years than I care to remember! We have always enjoyed each other’s company and I’m very much looking forward to working with them, and to the fun times that no doubt lie ahead!
I would also like to take this opportunity to echo the sentiment of Smokie fans the world over, and wish my predecessor, Mike Craft, farewell and all the very best for the future. He leaves behind big shoes, and I promise that I shall do my level best to fill them!
I am also very happy to report that my involvement with FRONTM3N will of course continue, and our plans remain unchanged.
So, here’s to new challenges, to new friendships, and to creating many more memories with many wonderful live shows . . .Remember live shows???
Pete Lincoln"

Well, if I've learned anything over the last 25 years (whether it was with SAILOR, The Sweet, solo gigs, FRONTM3N or anything else) it's that the way to go to feel great at concerts is the marvellous guy/voice that is Pete Lincoln.
We wish Pete all the best for this new adventure with Smokie and will of course report from his concerts with them here whenever we can, as well as continuing the report on his marvellous solo concerts and the shows with
FRONTM3N.

News from Georg Kajanus

This message from Georg Kajanus reached us via the Sailor Musical Facebook page. Georg wrote:

"Well, you may have noticed that I’m not a frequent poster on Facebook. That’s because I’ve been working away on three different projects in the last few years. The good news is that 'Sailor, The Musical Drama' and 'People Industry, The Classical Musical' are now finished. Unfortunately, due to the Covid 19 Pandemic, theatrical and film productions are on hold to a certain extent. A new trailer for the Sailor Musical will be created soon… Of course, you can always go to the Georg Kajanus Facebook Page for the latest news and views, however, my posts on that are rare as well, because, I have a lot to do!

  New FRONTM3N DVD released this month
"Up Close - Live 2020"
with Pete Lincoln (known from SAILOR, The Sweet), Peter Howarth (known from The Hollies) and Mick Wilson (known from 10CC)

Who doesn't want to sit down, relax and just enjoy something right now?! This works best with the FRONTM3N. The concert recordings contained here from January 2020, recorded in the beautiful Admiralspalast in Berlin, captured a concert of the three gentlemen, which not only contains the greatest hits of their previous bands (Pete Lincoln is known from The Sweet and SAILOR, Mick Wilson from 10 CC and Peter Howarth from The Hollies), but also includes FRONTM3N's own compositions, which fit seamlessly into the program. The extraordinary acoustic versions that the three play are always impressive. In addition, there were two special guests at this show, namely Eric Martin from MR. BIG, who performs some of his greatest hits together with FRONTM3N ("To Be With You", "Wild World" etc.), as well as Nevio Passaro (including "Amore Per Semper") and a few more surprises. All in all the ultimate musical all-round carefree package to enjoy again and again. But that's not all, because there is also a 100-minute documentary about the band, which includes everything from the beginnings at a small concert in the Krefeld Kulturfabrik (here even with a fan camera - from your webmaster here ;-)) up to the current tour in early 2020. A loving summary that not only pays tribute to the band but also to guests and the great crew that made it all possible.
Highly recommended!

You can either get a double live CD, a double DVD or BluRay, or you can get the wonderful limited deluxe edition box containing all ot those.

Tracklist:
I Can't Let Go, CoCo / Poppa Joe, The Things We Do For Love, Open Up, Love Is Like Oxygen, Solid Ground, All At Sea, Amore Per Sempre (feat. Nevio Passaro), Sentimental Fool (Quando é sentimento) (feat. Nevio Passaro), You Got It, Some People, Priceless, Rubber Bullets, Bus Stop, Fox On The Run, Good Morning Judge, Donna*, He Ain't Heavy He’s My Brother*, Girls Girls Girls*, Carrie, Wild World (feat. Eric Martin), Long Way Down (feat. Eric Martin), To Be With You (feat. Eric Martin), Fall For You, I’m Not In Love (feat. Nevio Passaro), Ballroom Blitz, Long Cool Woman (feat. Eric Martin), The Air That I Breathe, Your Own Worst Enemy, Dreadlock Holiday
*only on DVD & BluRay

Order via the webshop at www.stuff-music.de or other online stores.

Check out the trailer:


By the way, here's me - your webmaster - with all stars of this recording: FRONTM3N, Eric Martin of MR. BIG and Nevio Passaro

's Oliver Marsh live in Dinslaken last Friday

We couldn't make it to captain Oliver Marsh's show in Dinslaken (Germany) on Friday, but fortunately there are always people out there to share their photos and reports about the event. So here is one by Knut-Olaf Müller (quick translation by me). You can find the original link with more photos below:

Captain Oliver Marsh boards the Christmas market Neutor

With their distinctive Nickeloden sound Georg Kajanus, Henry Marsh, Philip Pickett and Grant Serpell - better known as the band SAILOR, celebrated big musical success in the mid 1970s. Their most successful LP over here, "Trouble", alone remained in the German charts for 40 weeks in 1975 and reached number 3 of the best-selling albums at that time.

Although without the theatrical stage shows and the "custom-designed all-purpose machine, the constituents of which were two upright pianos, two synthesizers, mini organs and glockenspiels all mechanically linked and contained within a wooden frame" (Henry Marsh) known from TV appearances, but instead with an extraordinary opera voice, captain Oliver Marsh - son of SAILOR co-founder Henry Marsh - took the audience at the Christmas market Neutor on a (unfortunately way too short) time travel to the 1970s on Friday evening in Dinslaken. In addition to SAILOR evergreens like "A Glass Of Champagne", Give Me Shakespeare" One Drink Too Many", "Stiletto Heels" and of course "Girls Girls Girls", Oliver Marsh especially impressed the audience with his moving "Con To Partirò".

SAILOR captain Oliver Marsh sang a the "Lichtermarkt" in Essen-Steele, Germany, on 02 November 2019. He sang mostly SAILOR songs and even something rare - "Stiletto Heels" - which (if I'm not mistaken) I hadn't heard live since January 1997.
You can find some photos at the
Concert Photos-section.
Plus you can also see a video bit of his big finale at our Facebook page:
