Attention artists wishing to record albums...Please Note...

Recently a few albums received for airplay on TLC radio have no AMCOS Clearance showing on them.
There seems to be some misconception about the need to register recordings with APRA/AMCOS.
Everyone  making a CD of cover songs has to go through APRA / AMCOS and get a licence.
Even if it is non profit it still has to be done as the songwriters should get royalties from their songs being used.
Any song that is used without the songwriters' permission or not through AMCOS could be facing a very large fine and possibly a legal fight.
It is in your best interest to licence all of your recordings the proper way as to not result in this.

Taranaki is set to have several international A-list artists perform at the TSB Bowl of Brooklands over the next three years.
  The New Plymouth District Council has an agreement with promoter Andrew McManus, who brought Fleetwood Mac in December 2009, to have six events featuring A-list artists between now and the end of 2013.
  One potential artist is American country singer Taylor Swift who announced she would perform in New Zealand at the end of the year as part of her world wide tour.
Other possible performers are R.E.M, Coldplay and Radiohead, who are all set to release albums this year.
  Mr McManus has signed on with the council following the success of the two Fleetwood Mac shows.
Each concert will be exclusive to Taranaki, with the solo artist or band playing no other North Island shows while in New Zealand.
  Andrew McManus Presents promotes artists such as ZZ Top, Chris Isaak, Motley Crue, Alice Cooper, Jethro Tull, Kelly Clarkson, Snoop Dog, Korn and Guns N Roses.

FEBRUARY
DAY TRIP ‘BOULEVARD OF DREAMS’ ~ OREWA AND ENTERTAINER, DENNIS MARSH
A day trip to the Boulevard of Dreams in Orewa, with lunch, full bar service and be entertained by
NZ Legend, Dennis Marsh.
En route, stop over at Silverdale where you will be able to browse or shop at the unique outlets in the village and a special stop at POP IN where you will be greeted by Kazuko and be able to get the most incredible bargains of a life time – an exciting little shop! Maybe morning tea at this quaint little spot (not included in price)  – perhaps at the Riverside Bar and Dine restaurant overlooking the river, then travel a few minutes further to Orewa, one of NZ's most beautiful seaside resorts. Here you will be lunching at The Boulevard of Dreams and be entertained by Dennis - lots of music and laughs promised! Dennis has been inducted into the Boulevard of Stars (which is unique to NZ and set into the paving outside the Boulevard of Dreams) and here you will have your opportunity to have your photo taken with Dennis and his 'Star' and also stroll along the walkway of 'Stars' on the Boulevard with celebrities such as David Hartnell, Ray Woolf, Shane, Suzanne, Tom Sharplin to name a few and more recently, Sir Howard Morrison.
(We would require a minimum of 30 people per booking)
Lunch and Entertainment Package $30.00
PS If your bus is travelling via South Auckland, you may like to take Dennis on the whole day trip with you!  He is willing to 'hop aboard' at any of your pickups in the South Auckland area and spend the day with your group!
Also, from South, you may like to consider going first to the Historic Puhoi Pub first, back to Orewa and Silverdale on the way home and vice versa if travelling from the North.
If you would like any information on ‘things to do and see’ in Orewa or Silverdale - a detailed map etc, please contact me (Yvonne Marsh) anytime 24/7!    For bookings and enquiries (Sorry - no bookings available for March re Dennis on ‘That’s Country’ tour)
marshland@xtra.co.nz   Phone: 09 2363039   Mobile: 0274 236303  
Dennis’ Mobile:  0274 878378
Dennis’ website:   www.dennismarsh.com
With the closure of the very popular ‘Banner’s Theatre’ in Kaiaua (the owners have returned to the UK) – there appears to be a need for an entertaining day trip for groups so we have designed a package JUST FOR YOU!   If there is anything you would like to add/change, please contact us and we will be only too happy to tailor-make your day trip to your needs.
You can have a 2 hour stop, a 4 hour stop or a time that suits you and your travellers.
We are always available to chat about any details and you are welcome to check Dennis’ website out for any info on his life or credentials!   
The Boulevard of Dreams and the Boulevard of Stars are unique to NZ – our very own Hollywood of Stars set in concrete!
Orewa:  Sir Edmund Hillary Statue in Hillary Square close to the NZ Post Office, the beach of course (on a nice day) and there is a look out point at the North end of the beach as one drives up the hill just before getting over to Hatfield’s beach.
The Pioneer Village in Silverdale is directly behind Kazuko’s shop!

Review "I’m still reading “Jim Reeves: His Untold Story.” I have re-read Chapter 7--“Mexican Joe”   three times. It includes the story that Reeves really didn’t want to record the song because it only had two chords—but seven verses. The chapter also reveals all the info about the actual recording session that took place at KWKH Studios in Shreveport, Louisiana in January 1952."
This 660 pager is a treasure of Jim Reeves information and you can order at: www.jimreevesbook.com


Question:  I thought that "Back In The Saddle Again" was one of Gene Autry's most famous songs, but our local radio station says the recording never made the charts.  Do you know why?

Answer:  Gene's (at left) recording of "Back In The Saddle Again" didn't make the charts because there were no record charts in 1939 when that recording became popular.  The song did become his signature song and the theme song for his radio and TV shows.
