LATEST NEWS FROM SAILOR - STOP PRESS
Date:
18 May 2001
New band member Rob Alderton:
 SAILOR have just come off stage in Rotenburg
to a huge ovation (ask "Marinero" and many
other fans who were there at yet another famous
"milestone" in the band's history) having
performed with their brand new Nickelodeon player -
unbelievable accordionist, ex-SAILOR fan and supremely
gifted all-round musician and vocalist ...
Rob Alderton.
A few weeks ago, and after one of the best ever
performances in SAILOR's entire career- at Paaren on 30
April, a genuinely distraught Anthony England informed
the band finally that due to overbearing theatre
commitments he regrettably could not continue performing
his SAILOR duties.
Although Peter Grant and Phil were incredibly sorry to
lose him ( he is a lovely man, brilliant musician and
really "fitted-in") they appreciated his
honesty in making a very hard choice- eventually coming
down in favour of what obviously promises to be a
diamond-bright future as a musical director par
excellence ! (Anthony was MD on Phil & Henry's first
Musical "Casper" so they know first hand just
how great he is!)
SAILOR all wish him extremely well - as will I am sure
many of the fans who saw Anthony in action -- Good Luck
Anthony!
However - and this brings us to very exciting news - the
legendary SAILOR good fortune in times of adversity has
scored yet another triumph, this time in the shape of
prodigious musical talent - Rob Alderton....Welcome to
one of the greatest and most unique bands of all
time.......SAILOR !!!!!
