We love this: original art sent to us by Laura Jane Keoghan - this has given us some ideas for a project or two. If you're interested in a gallery project for original f27 art - get in touch Cecilia was a Spanish singer/songwriter who took her stage name from a track by Simon and Garfunkel. She died in a car accident on the way back from a gig on 2nd August 1976 having composed some 70 songs, some of which were censored by Franco's government. View her official website Someone reminded me today about an ambition I've had for a long time and one of the reasons this site happened: to raise enough cash to play some venues in the US especially the Whisky A GoGo - it's worth it just for the venue name. This venue has played host to some of the most important bands and acts on the planet (The Doors, Janis Joplin, Hendrix in the vintage years and Eminem). They've got some great images from Whisky vintage years - click here. Steeped in history you can going and drink at the bar where Jim acted inappropriately or where Jimi dropped his cigarette ash. It doesn't get any better than that. "Fortunately, an extremely sexy, pixie-voiced blond named Ronnie Harran, who booked the Whisky, saw us…She had an ear for talent…the Whisky was finally a gig we could be proud of…" John Densmore, The Doors' drummer If you ever visit California you have to go the Whisky - it's the law. |
