The John Wetton Estate proudly announces work has commenced on a solo career box set
featuring expanded editions of his iconic albums and a lavish hardback book.
12th June 2019 would have been John’s 70th birthday.
Since John Wetton’s passing in January 2017, his family, friends and management have been working on finding a fitting tribute to such a remarkable man and iconic artist. The result of this labour of love is a box set entitled “An Extraordinary Life”, dedicated entirely to John’s solo career. The project has the full support of John’s wife, Lisa, and his son, Dylan, who are wholly involved with compiling the contents.
The set will include definitive, remastered editions of each of his six solo albums, with bonus tracks and artwork selected by John towards the end of his lifetime, and in some cases expanded to two discs:
1. Caught in the Crossfire
2. Battle Lines
3. Arkangel
4. Sinister
5. Rock of Faith
6. Raised in Captivity

DEADLAND RITUAL, featuring bassist Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath), vocalist Franky Perez (Apocalyptica, Scars on Broadway), drummer Matt Sorum (Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver) and guitarist Steve Stevens (Billy Idol) has released a brand new single and video “Broken and Bruised”(via Sonik Riot Recordings / AWAL powered by Kobalt) available today...
Lonely Soul is the first song from Psychic Equalizer’s upcoming album The Sixth Extinction, inspired by Elizabeth Kolbert's book about the earth's next mass extinction.
There’s no word that could define Psychic Equalizer’s new sound better than progressive rock, but it certainly has elements of metal, classical, ambient, contemporary jazz, fusion, world music and even flamenco influences. Psychic Equalizer was founded by Spanish musician Hugo Selles in 2011 and already has three studio releases in its catalogue, with its last album praised as "a work of art and sincere craftsmanship" (Prog Rock Talk) and "widescreen, bold and unapologetic" (A Jazz Noise).

Concerts: Cats In Space, Jimi Anderson Group; Glasgow Oran Mor 9th May 2019
It could have been with heavy heart that Cats In Space fans trudged through the unseasonably cold and wet Glasgow evening to see the band on their Narnia tour; the news that singer Paul Manzi would soon be leaving his feline chums to take up the role of keyboard player/singer in The Sweet only just having settled in. Cats In Space however were here to celebrate, here to lift the mood and here to quite simply have a great time. With three albums under their belts CiS also have a plethora of thumping, pumping, retro-humping 70s styled anthems at their disposal. However, tonight’s early festivities were brought to us from a different time in musical history, the Jimi Anderson Group thoroughly and rather expertly fixated on the 80s. Stepping into the wardrobe of time was Sea of Tranquility’s Steven Reid.
