| Playing The Band — The Musical Life of Jon Hiseman is published! | ||||||
 There is no doubt about it, I have done more travelling for Playing The Band than any other book I've written. I have been all over the UK and even journeyed to Alicante, Spain! Now that's dedication for you.I interviewed all current members of the band. I have also spoken to all of the past members of the band, including Louis Cennamo — I can tell you he was hard to find. I even managed to find the original guitarist, Jim Roche, who was extremely helpful. Included throughout the book, thanks to Jon Hiseman, are an array of wonderful pictures and documents to accompany the text. My in-depth interviews with Jon were especially revealing and I came away with many hours on tape. Following several years of preparation, the writing, and fine-tuning, the book is now in print. And it is with perfect timing that Playing The Band is available for the current Colosseum tour. Order Playing The Band here...... Temple Music Books 2010, ISBN 978-0-9566863-0-5, PB  The 2007 Colosseum tour went down well, with most gigs sold out. I spent several days on tour with the band and came away with many great memories. My tour report has now been posted on the site. The new album, Live05, sold very well on the tour and is available in the UK on the Temple Music website. The old material on the album sounds fresh, thanks to a Colosseum re-spray job. And don't forget, there's the Bread & Circuses and Tomorrow's Blues material as well. Dave Greenslade thinks it's the best album they have ever made. Another important aspect of the album is Barbara's debut with the band. |
