====================================================
2024 has been a difficult year with the passing of John Lord, creator of the Sonar Records group of companies. It had always been his dream to own his own record and music publishing company together with a recording studio. He certainly accomplished all he set out to do and has left us with a fabulous legacy of original music.
RIP John Lord 1935 – 2024
========================================================
From the amazing reach of facebook in 2023 I was contacted by a record company based in New York. They were interested in a track my band had recorded in the eighties as L’Homme De Terre for a compilation album.
The sequel without equal: the second installment in the “Heroes Of The Night” compilation universe is now here! Picking up exactly where the first volume left off and featuring a cast of twelve of the best and scarcest D.I.Y., powerpop, punk and new wave 45 tracks from the likes of JACKIE, L’HOMME DE TERRE, BRENDA PRESCOTT, AQUILA and more. Something for the girl with everything or the boy who thinks he’s heard everything, “Heroes Of The Night” Volume 2 continues Reminder Records’ campaign to showcase the talents of post-punk’s female musical innovators and pioneers.
CARY L – BACK IN THE STUDIO AGAIN
Cary has been back into Big Sky Studio to start work on her third album. This is her first all country album with 14 original songs in ‘the can’ awaiting mixing and with extra help from various musicians across the globe on this one – Steve Giddings plays lap steel on a few of the tracks and Nashville based McMillan brothers contribute banjo, harmonica and fiddle.
