Event information

All Star line-up!!!

The ultimate party band featuring Paul Young, Fish, Chris Thompson + Guest Singers. Backed by Spike Edney (Queen), Johnny Marter (Marrilion, SAS Band) & Steve Stroud (Cliff Richard).

Spike Edney takes time from his busy Queen schedule to bring his All Stars back to town.

The debut SAS album features artists who collectively have appeared on many (many) number one hit songs, including: Chris Thompson, Tony Hadley, Kiki Dee, Roger Chapman, Roger Taylor, and Madeline Bell. Featured musicians include Ian Anderson, John Deacon, Peter Green, Cozy Powell, Jamie Moses & Charlie Morgan. Tracks were recorded at Black Barn Studios in Ripley over a two year period, where the complex process of melding the prolific array of talent into an album was finally completed in April 1998. The album is based on a 'half original/half cover' format. Originals include the writers version of Chris Thompson's classic composition 'You're the voice', already a hit for John Farnham, and 'Original sin'. Covers include epic arrangements of classic songs like 'That's the way god planned it', 'The Name of the Game', and 'Didn't I blow your mind this time.'
