Robin Trower

New: 3-1-2001 Spring/Summer tour - Robin may tour with one or two other classic rock bands. When I checked with the managment of some rumored bands they said they wouldn't confirm anything until the band is on stage.

Robin's musical cohort Ferry is touring this year with Roxy Music minus Eno. I would love to see Robin Trower Band tour with Roxy Music, that would give Robin some exposure to the young alt crowd. Robin did play guitar on Bryan's Manomouna 1994 album and tour. Robin produced bryan's Taxi, Mamouna, and As Time Goes By albums.

Close Call: Bryan Ferry, his wife Lucy, and two of their sons were on a British Airways jet heading for a 2000/2001 new year's holiday on the Indian Ocean Island of Zanzibar, Tanzania. Their flight turned into what Ferry called "the most eventful" flight in his life when a mentally disturbed Kenyan man broke into the cockpit and tried to crash the jet before being subdued by the crew and passengers after a violent struggle.

I have been waiting for this one: The new "modern style" Bryan Ferry solo album that Robin was producing is set to be released just about when the Roxy Music tour will end this summer.

New: 9-15-2000 Fall Tour - Robin's on tour again. See Robin Trower and hit the slots at Pechanga Entertainment Center Saturday October 21, 2000. More on the fall 2000 tour.

New: 08-26-2000 Funky Paul is on the Web at www.olsenart.com. Paul Olsen aka Funky Paul was friends with Procol Harem members in the 60's when they would hang out at the San Francisco Funky Features house, check out his Bio pages. Funky Paul later ran into Robin in England and ended up creating seven Trower Album covers (so far), check out his Album art pages, fact: the Bridge of Sighs cover was made from modeling clay. Paul's been around, not only has he been close friends with Trower, the Grateful Dead, and other great Artists, Paul got to work on the Star Trek Enterprise. Collector Alert: Paul has up for auction a set of the first seven orignal Fillmore posters given to him by Bill Graham . Paul's site has lots of info and stories, I like the story about when Robin flipped off the head lights for kicks on his corvette when Paul was driving 100MPH through the dessert on a moonless night, laughing as Paul tried to figure out how to turn them back on. Paul has published several books including some about airbrushing, the In City Dreams cover was his first airbrushed album cover. Paul is working on several screenplays, including The Book Of Haight which follows the adventures of Funky Sam, Funky Paul, and Funky Jack in 1965-69 San Francisco's (known to those who live there as THE CITY) Haight-Ashbury district.
