We were very sad to learn that Kev Miller, our friend who introduced Paul Ian and Derek way back in 1967 has passed away peacefully.

Kev had been suffering for a while, but Pauline his wife informed me that his organs had finally failed, and he passed away surrounded by his family.

Wonderful day got even better when Nile Rogers popped into Abbey Road sessions.

The new album                                                                                                            “Puppet Master – the Rise and Rise of Slick Dandy”       has now completed mixing at the world renown Abbey Road Studios in London.

Created over 8 days in April and May 2018, Paul was lucky to have young whizz kid engineer Toby Hulbert to work with on the Album. Toby is know for being “inventive” and trying out new things. One amazing day, we came to the studio to find a massive Studer analogue tape deck – to play the mix through to get a “warm” sound.

He also wheeled in lots of wonderful analogue equipment like this Altec valve compressor and Fairchild DI

The man who sells the most CD’s!

A big thank you to Ronnie Patel, who alone has sold more than 190 CD’s for the Bolton Iron Maiden.

Not only has Ronnie done a good deal of selling – in the process he has managed to donate hundred’s of pounds for our two chancer charities Cancer Research and Macmillian Cancer Care.

A great asset and a good friend to The Band!
