News from Georg
Kajanus: Sailor
A new musical - in development -
Georg Kajanus is pleased to announce that
the website for his musical-in-development, 'Sailor', is
now up at www.sailormusical.com.
It contains a trailer created from found footage and song
excerpts from the musical to give a flavor of the content
and atmosphere of 'Sailor'. It also contains a
synopsis and the background of the musical, as well as
biogs of Georg and fellow writers Roberto Trippini and
Barbie Wilde.
Background:
"Over thirty years ago, 'Sailor' began as a romantic
drama in the mind of composer and writer Georg Kajanus.
His passion for the romance of the sea and the seedy Red
Light Districts of Europe had culminated in a bittersweet
musical about two people searching for love in the ruins
of post-War Marseille. Although Kajanus had written the
music, lyrics and book for the musical then titled
'The Red Light Review' in the end, it never saw
the light of day at that time. Instead, Kajanus chose to
form a uniquely theatrical pop music group with Phil
Pickett, Henry Marsh and Grant Serpell, which he called
SAILOR.
In 2008, Kajanus began to work with
playwright-screenwriter Roberto Trippini and
actress-writer Barbie Wilde on a new version of his
musical 'Sailor' from his original story from the 1970s
and 1980s that contains a unique perspective on life,
violence and love. 'Sailor' is not only a romantic voyage
it also depicts the brutality of war and life on
the fringes of society."
(PLEASE NOTE:
This musical is no way connected or affiliated to the
amateur, one-off production for charity in 2006 of
'Sailor The Musical Journey', by Bill Blenman.)
Thankyou all for your support during
the whole of 2009. We hope you continue to enjoy the SAILOR club
website. Please keep coming back to us here at www.sailor-music.com in 2010!
Watch
some of the best and funniest SAILOR live moments 2009:
The
boys wish all SAILOR fans a very Happy Christmas
and lots of happiness and good music in the New
Year!
Lots
of love from
Nick x

we look forward to seeing you at one of our
increasing number of shows throughout 2010 (and

live
in Heide (Germany) 03 April 2009
You
can now see new photos and some video impressions of the SAILOR concert in Heide, Germany,
on 03 April 2009 at the Concert
Photos-section.
Special thanks must go to SAILOR fan Uli Neumann who had made the
Event possible together with Klaus Stotzem, the owner of the
car-dealership where it all happened. It was great to see so many
people in the audience dressed as sailors. A special idea of Mr.
Stotzem which made it all a fun night as well.
Grant Serpell was injured around the time of this event, so that
he wasn't able to play. He was replaced by Henry's son/Oliver's
brother: Thomas Marsh. Tom did a fantastic job and we're very
thankful for his help and very impressed by his playing. Thanks
Tom!!
This was the last SAILOR concert with Oliver Marsh who leaves the band to pursue his career
in opera. We wish Ollie all the best and thank him for 30 great
months of SAILOR music and fun!!
Best wishes and
SAILOR-greetings,
