"Girls Girls Girls" by Free Bears The band "Free Bears" has recorded a great new cover version of "Girls Girls Girls" which will be released on 11 April 2008. This is what the Free Bears say: "Back in the 70s this
has been a No 1 Smash-Hit by SAILOR which really
everybody knows from the northpole down to Tazmania has
been picked up, assimilated and refreshed without losing
the quite nostalgic charme of the song. We simply built
in a little rock..n..roll switch, a lot of fun and
passion just make it a typical FREE BEARS song. Even
Georg Kajanus, formerly SAILOR mastermind and songwriter
gave his okay to this version and said: This does justice
to the meaning of the song! To listen
to the song and have a look at the video, check out their The Free Bears version is a great new approach to the song, in a different style than previous cover versions by JBO, Krügers Nationalpark etc. Best wishes and
SAILOR-greetings, |

New cover version of "A Glass Of Champagne" by Scooter
 News from Georg Kajanus regarding the recent
cover of "A Glass Of Champagne" by Scooter for
the title track of their next album "Jumping All
Over The World" (released 30 November 2007):"Over a month ago, my
publisher, Steve Morris, and I were approached by the
techno band Scooter for permission to use a large part of
my composition 'A Glass Of Champagne' for the title track
of their new album, 'Jumping All Over The World'. Steve
and I researched the band, liked a lot of what we heard
and gave permission. Scooter are rather unique in the way
that they approach covers and I saw this as an
opportunity for 'Champagne' to reach a whole new
demographic.

| Important
Newsflash from SAILOR: SAILOR - Henry Marsh, Grant Serpell and Phil Pickett are delighted and proud to announce that Henry's son, Oliver Marsh has joined the band replacing Peter Lincoln on lead vocals and guitar.  Oliver, 28, has already achieved fantastic success as a star vocalist in such productions as 'The Blues Brothers' which toured all over Germany, and 'The Roy Orbison Story' in which he played both John Lennon and Bruce Springsteen to rave reviews and critical acclaim. Prior to this he impressed many in Phil and Henry's ''Casper The Musical'' which opened in London's West End in 1999. In many ways he was the obvious choice and his impressive vocal range as well as a genuine enthusiasm to become part of the band instantly convinced everyone that Ollie was their man. ''Being part of the SAILOR 'family' was of course an advantage'' says Phil; ''but his youthful energy and amazingly powerful voice knocked spots off all other contenders and he is already becoming a huge asset to the band. I believe Ollie will give SAILOR a whole new lease of life as well as the 'shot in the arm' it needs at this point.'' Grant agrees: ''Henry of course did a fantastic job going over everything with Ollie and although content to leave the final decision to me and Phil, was very confident in his abilities. But you can tell Ollie just loves the songs and the strength and range of his voice will give SAILOR opportunities to expand and improve the live show enormously. I'm thrilled he actually wants to do it!'' Oliver is very excited about his future in SAILOR and makes his debut performance with the band in Munich on 14 October 2006. Announcement from: www.sailortheband.com |
