GEORGE ALFRED SPENCELY NEWMAN R.I.P.

It's been an emotionally hard year so far, the loss of my mum was a sudden and very sad loss to myself and my family, and then, no more than 4 months later we lose my father. This was expected, he had been fighting cancer for a long time, but it never made it any easier when we had to say goodbye. I take strength in the knowledge that he is now back with mum where they will now both rest in peace forever.

Love you dad ..

Thank you for all of your kind emails and thoughts, it really meant a great deal to myself and my family, I am now moving forward this year and fulfilling what my parents believed in as much as me by giving me the support and encouragement to follow my dreams.

NEWMAN SET TO ROCK CAMBRIDGE

Paul, Dave, Nic, Steve and Nog are looking forward to seeing everyone at the CRF10 this year, we know it's going to be a great event. As you can see by the flyer below there's some great bands over the four day festival. If you haven't already booked your tickets you can get to the Official Cambridge Rock Site by clicking on the flyer below or ringing the numbers at the bottom of this update.........

We will also be running a festival special limited offer where you will be able to pick up "Decade" and the "The Art Of Balance" for just £15. And, if you so desire, this will also be signed by the band on the day, see you there !!!!!!

The Cambridge Rock Festival is widely regarded as one of the friendliest and most welcoming festivals around. Arising from the fact that the festival is run by enthusiastic music fans first and foremost. Festival goers come back year after year and have gotten to know many of the volunteers and crew almost as an extended family; something unheard of at most festivals. As such the atmosphere is second to none and quite simply like no other rock festival you may have been to.

Local heroes leading the charge on the festival’s opening night are the irrepressible; Split Whiskers, who can always be relied upon to light the fuse. The fireworks continue to build driven by The Pure Floyd Show, Led Zep Too, and the amazing All Star Band performing The 80’s Rocked Show. Incorporating almost every classic rock hit of the 80’s – it’s impossible not to sing along with these crowd pleasers, brought to you by members of Tyketto, Magnum and Thunder.

The Classic Rock Society present their finely tuned collection of the new breed of classic rock bands on Friday 6th August, calling on a variety of genres from folk oriented to the metal edged. The evening will then be brought to a triumphant climax proved by The Tygers of Pang Tang.

This year’s crop of bands will appeal to fans of Whitesnake, as up until recently the Monsters of British Rock were known as Moody Murray Whitesnake. Freeway will be storming the stage on the Saturday night by request from

By way of contrast Hazel O’Connor will be also singing on the Cambridge Rock Festival’s long weekend. She will be performing with The Subterraneans and Clare Hirst who is well known for playing Live Aid with David Bowie. Together they will be reproducing the “Breaking Glass” set on this, the 30th anniversary of the album and film.

The Haggis Farm Polo Club will also play host to a number of excellent Blues Rock bands. The likes of Danny Bryant, Larry Miller, Chantel McGregor, Storm Warning or The Mustangs will offer you plenty of choice. And just to prove the girls can rock them out too – Deborah Bonham, JOANovARC, and Emerald Sky will be crankin’ up the volume. In all over 70 bands will be taking the stage across the Cambridge Rock Festival’s long weekend.

The Cambridge Rock Festival takes pride in looking after their festival goers; by providing two all weather stages to ensure full protection from the elements, as well as flushing toilets and showers with no queues. Complimenting the music will be the best choice of beers, ciders, perrys and spirits at any music festival, which are available at reasonable prices. The festival itself is easily accessible from the M11 (Junction 12) and the cycleway from Cambridge City Centre. The Cambridge Rock Festival is proud to support so many different charities throughout the event with our designated charities per day being Addenbrookes Charitable Trust, CambzLan, The Princes Trust in Association with Camrider and Help For Heroes.

For more information and tickets please go to www.cambridgerockfestival.co.uk or call 01353 749 749 or 0845 299 0845 to book.

UPDATES

There will be further updates after Cambridge Rock, including the latest news on the studio project Steve is currently involved in with the very talented Mark Thompson-Smith. If you have been listening to Steve Price's Rock show over at ARfm you may have heard one of the songs. Will give you more info on that and hopefully loads of pics etc from the Cambridge Rock Festival.

NEWMAN SET TO RETURN WITH THE ART OF BALANCE

One of the UK’s top melodic rock acts Newman will return with their eighth album in March.
Entitled “The Art Of Balance” the album will be released through the Chrome Dome label and
will include the following tracks : Hero To Zero, Edge Of The World, Endless, The Miracle,
Stay With Me, Tumble Down, Wish You Well, Find My Heart, Your Surrender, Break It Again,
Forever, and Stronger.

For the past 11 years, since the 1998 debut, Newman have continued to release consistently
high quality albums and gained a reputation for producing hard rockin’ melodic anthems. They
also proved to be a live force to be reckoned with when they returned to the stage in 2009
playing the Z Rock Festival and supporting the legendary John Waite on his recent UK Tour.

This album should appeal to existing and new fans alike. Once again, the emphasis is on big
guitars, massive hooks, and “The Art Of Balance” has this in abundance. The songs “Edge Of
The World” and “Endless” are already receiving extensive airplay on the “Steve Price Show”
over at ARfm www.arfm.co.uk .

The album was once again recorded at “The Blue Room” and produced by Steve Newman.

“The Art Of Balance” will be available from all the usual online distributors and pre-order
from the official Newman website.

Check out www.newmansound.com for further details.
