Blondie Chaplin is set for a
new mini tour of Norway in August.
Preliminary dates of
The Mountains and Fjords tour:
C A N C E L L E DAugust 8th: Åndalsnes - RAUMAROCK, Rauma Hotel: start: 01:00 AM cancelled
August 15th: Jessheim - Hydranten. cancelled
Unfortunately this tour's had to be cancelled due to other obligations.
Blondie Chaplin worked for two weeks in a NY studio before Easter. He's finising work on the album in Paris, Texas this first part of July.
Blondie is planning an album release later this fall. There's also serious talks going on about the release of his "Fragile Thread" album, recorded several years ago, with some of his Stones pals, like Keith and Ronnie, Bernard and Bobby. I've listened to it - and believe me: It's worth waiting for!
For those who are familiar with his album "Between Us", both "new" albums are more
ROCK. There's plenty of good songs, really good songs, there and it really is a shame it's not been released before.
