Max Middleton
Yes, Max is back and is working on some solos for Snowy White's new album
The Curtis/Kidby Project
A match made in Americana, or dare we say "Anglia-cana" heaven, our own Bob Kidby is working on a whole range of original co-written songs with famed Suffolk based guitar legend, Steve J Curtis. So far, almost two album's worth of songs have been recorded with a first release in the Autumn for the debut album entitled 40 Acres .

And this is a review of one of Steve's more recent gigs by Patrick K Nugent:
"This gig was also a master class of how to produce and deliver a solo set of songs. Steve has spent a lifetime as a working musician and it shows. He sees himself primarily as a guitar player and a master class of that was certainly on offer. But as a songwriter he stands with the best in the business. His great lyrics come straight from a life lived out in the world; this is grown -up songwriting, and when you get to see and hear original songs of those of the calibre of those by Steve J Curtis, delivered by the main himself with such excellence, it's really something special."
Younger Than Yesterday - The 1960s Project
With over 30 songs in the final stages of production, this has been a massive joint project by Neil Murray and Stupid Music's Bob Kidby. These are all original songs recorded on the best analogue equipment in homage to the greatest sounds from the 1960s. What could be better! A 4-track EP is being planned for release soon. The world premiere gig launching the project took place at the famous Water Rats music venue, near Kings Cross in London.
