WE #STANDWITHUKRAINE Fundraiser T-shirt
<p>48 days ago, Vladimir Putin began his war on the people of Ukraine. </p>
<p>Internationally considered an act of aggression, the invasion has triggered Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II, with more than 4.3 million Ukrainians leaving the country and a quarter of the population displaced. </p>
<p>In Russia and other authoritarian-led cultures, wearing a slogan t-shirt can result in arrest and imprisonment. </p>
<p>Together with their long-term collaborator Barry Kinder, Supertone artists Suzy Starlite and Simon Campbel have designed a protest t-shirt as a way to raise funds and publicly stand in solidarity with the men, women and children of Ukraine and Russian citizens who are protesting against the war. </p>
<p>ALL profits from the sale of these t-shirts will be sent to the Red Cross in Ukraine to support the humanitarian efforts in the country. (This fundraiser t-shirt has no branding of the band). </p>
<p>Available in three colours and multiple sizes, join us in solidarity with the people of Ukraine and all of us in the free world who stand against tyranny. </p>

"Language of Curiosity' new Starlite Campbell Band single & music video released today!
<p>Supertone Records are thrilled to announce that our great friends at American Blues Scene are hosting the video world premiere for the Starlite Campbell Band's new single 'Language Of Curiosity' - the title track of their highly acclaimed second album which is released today.</p>
<p>An added curiosity, the single cover artwork was taken by talented photographer Paul Husband and features his father, legendary cartoonist Tony Husband. The Husband family are kindred spirits and have been such an inspiration to us over the past few months. As artists, they are not afraid to speak their truth and we are honoured to be working together.</p>
<p>As full-time independent artists, Suzy Starlite & Simon Campbell do everything themselves from writing, recording, producing to marketing, tour booking and even filming and editing their own music videos in this instance - the whole kaboodle!!</p>
<p>Enjoy!! </p>

Starlite Campbell Band #7 in Top Albums of 2021 - Voted By Music News UK
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/532034/01f87c8dfabbcd16174701c5325f3b487e287a3f/original/music-news-logo.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.png" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="Music News Logo" style="margin-bottom: 20px;" /></p>
<p>In a stunning result for independent artists, European & British award nominees the Starlite Campbell Band's highly acclaimed new album 'The Language of Curiosity' was voted #7 by Music News UK in their <a contents="Top 28 albums of 2021" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.music-news.com/review/UK/14865/Album/Music-News-Top-28-Albums-Of-The-Year?fbclid=IwAR1_ECmQCrIjL9R74UXZK_Ffiuhidz-v1Z7mHG6X6nSki58WPv5vGzVC7w4" target="_blank">Top 28 albums of 2021</a>. </p>
<p>Named alongside some heavy international hitters including Sam Fender, Adele, Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, husband and wife Suzy Starlite and Simon Campbell said "We are astounded, delighted and slightly bewildered. We found out that the video for our single <a contents="'Take Time To Grow Old'" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://youtu.be/pLFuCxFUb_E" target="_blank">'Take Time To Grow Old'</a> from 'The Language of Curiosity' had gone viral with over 44,000 views in just a few days when we were in the Czech Republic at the end of an epic six week UK & European tour and as full-time musicians, it means the world to us that our music is connecting and being heard!"</p>
<p>Released on independent label Supertone Records, their combined songwriting skills along with a uniquely British rock & blues sound, make Starlite and Campbell, who fell in love on stage and married following a whirlwind musical romance, one hot ticket!</p>
<p>There aren't many artists who write, play, record, engineer, and produce their own music themselves but that is exactly what this passionate couple does. As lovers of vinyl and all things analog, producer Simon Campbell’s production and recording techniques have an ethos and quality learned first-hand working in recording studios in the early ’70s; it's not retro - it's always been this way!</p>
<p>‘The Language of Curiosity’ is released on Supertone Records and is available to buy on CD,180g vinyl and digital, direct from the <a contents="Starlite Campbell Band website" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://shop.starlite-campbell.com/" target="_blank">Starlite Campbell Band website</a>, Amazon, iTunes and in all major outlets or from your local record shop with European distribution by Continental Records.</p>

<p>'Take Time To Grow Old' is a delightful melodic song that is more about attitude than age, featuring the enchanting sounds of a 12 string Mosrite double neck electric guitar with delicious melting double vocal harmonies from Starlite & Campbell. The full-length album version of the song also features a sublime 6 string fuzzed and weighted guitar solo from Simon, giving way to Suzy playing a childlike and poignant short piano outro. </p>
<p>Videographer Amanda Naughton once again captured some beautiful moments on film to help tell the story with the video going viral with over 45,000 views on YouTube in a matter of days. </p>
<p>The song also features Steve Gibson on drums, Jonny Henderson on Hammond organ and Gabriele Del Vecchio on Wurlitzer electric piano and you'll want to play it again and again.</p>

<p><em>"Here is no sophomore slump with The Language of Curiosity. Starlite Campbell Band have stepped up their game, and their sound, taking their British blues/rock to a whole other level... A modern-day sonic boom!" | JD Nash, Editor, American Blues Scene</em></p>
<p>There aren't many artists out there who write, play, record, engineer and produce their own music themselves but that is exactly what this passionate couple do. As lovers of vinyl and all things analog, producer Simon Campbell’s production and recording techniques have a quality that was learned first-hand whilst working in recording studios in the early 70's and he has never looked back; it's not retro - it's always been this way!</p>
<p>With their fresh original British rock and British blues, the husband and wife duo have been on an exciting roller-coaster of a musical ride following the release of their debut album ‘Blueberry Pie’ to rave reviews worldwide and a prestigious nomination for Best Album in the European Blues Awards.</p>

Starlite Campbell Band release rocking new single 'Gaslight'!
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Taken from the highly anticipated new album ‘The Language of Curiosity’ which is released on November 5, 2021 </strong></h4>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/532034/70651cc26ff326a25ef115dc39277f162767196b/original/gaslight-starlite-campbell-band-photo-stuart-bebb.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.png" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="" /></p>
<p>Renowned for their unique sound, distinctive songwriting and beautifully produced recordings, European and British blues award nominees the Starlite Campbell Band release their exciting upbeat new single Gaslight. </p>
<p>Gaslight is the third single taken from their highly anticipated forthcoming album The Language of Curiosity released on the Supertone record label on Friday, November 5, 2021. </p>
<p>Written in response to fake news, gaslighting facts and the blurring of truth by people in power around the world, Starlite and Campbell have created an upbeat rocking retort intended to put a bounce in your step and hope in your heart!</p>
<p>Gaslight is straight-up early ‘70s British rock ‘n roll featuring a rich Motown-esque groove from Starlite on bass, good-time Wurlitzer electric piano from the Italian stallion Gabriele Del Vecchio and a foot-tapping four-on the floor groove from Steve Gibson on drums. </p>
<p>Many have been struck by Simon’s fabulous and unique slide guitar playing style. Known to play slide on his custom National ResoRocket Steel guitar as heard in debut album ‘Blueberry Pie’, he opted for a much grittier tone for this song bringing into service the mighty vintage Gibson Flying V; his first-ever guitar given to him by his parents for his 18th birthday. With the aid of a ceramic slide, Campbell creates a series of cheeky melodic riffs and a solo that adds a sense of slightly drunken roots-punk to the overall feel of the song. </p>
<p>The video for Gaslight was filmed by artist and videographer Amanda Naughton based in Lisbon, Portugal. Suzy explained “It’s really important for us to collaborate and work with people who understand what we’re about as storytellers and artists. When we sent Amanda The Language of Curiosity she really loved what we had created musically and was buzzing with inspirational visual ideas for the music video which worked perfectly for all of us.” </p>
<p>“The questioning of one’s perception of reality and sanity through gaslighting inspired the imagery and techniques used in making the video. Slow-motion scenes with things being smashed to the sound of distorted guitars and crashing cymbals, all set against the enchanting backdrop of Portugal’s blue skies felt like a perfect psychological and visual fit” explained Amanda.</p>
<p>Gaslight is now available to buy, download and stream. All album preorders for 'The Language of Curiosity' receive an immediate free high-quality digital download of the song plus all the band's single releases in 2020/2021: ''Stone Cold Crazy', 'Lay It Out On Me' from the LOC plus their version of the classic song from Blind Faith 'Can't Find My Way Home'.</p>
<p>The band will be touring the UK and Europe in October/November 2021. Check out their <a contents="gig dates here!&nbsp;" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://starlite-campbell.com/gigs" target="_blank">gig dates here! </a></p>

'The Language of Curiosity' new Starlite Campbell Band album released November 5, 2021
<p>European & British award nominees the Starlite Campbell Band’s highly anticipated second album ‘’The Language of Curiosity' is released on November 5, 2021</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/532034/6620ca8a0269e41ae3b12c80c95a2fdcbbac1222/original/the-language-of-curiosity-photo-stuart-bebb.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="Starlite Campbell Band 'The Language of Curiosity' album cover.

<p><em>“Starlite Campbell Band continue to push the boundaries of British rock and British blues!” JD Nash, American Blues Scene </em></p>
<p>Renowned for their distinctive songwriting, unique sound with beautifully produced recordings, onstage chemistry and electrifying live shows, European and British blues award nominees the Starlite Campbell Band are Suzy Starlite and Simon Campbell who fell in love on stage and married following a whirlwind musical romance.</p>
<p>With their fresh taste of original '70s British rock and British blues, the husband and wife duo have been on an exciting roller-coaster of a musical ride following the release of their debut album ‘Blueberry Pie’ to rave reviews worldwide and a prestigious nomination for Best Album in the European Blues Awards. </p>
<p><em>"Blueberry Pie is a great album" | Cerys Matthews, BBC Radio 2 & 6 Music </em></p>
<p>With extensive international radio play including BBC Radio 2, charting top 10 in the UK, Australia, The Netherlands, American Blues Charts plus receiving over 50 four and five-star reviews worldwide, the band have played all over the world from headlining a festival in their Australian debut to main stage performances at The Great British Rock & Blues Festival in the UK. </p>
<p>The band’s exciting and highly anticipated second album ‘The Language of Curiosity’ is released on November 5th, 2021 supported by festival performances at the Carlisle Blues Rock Festival, UK, Bluesroute Helmond, NL and headline tour dates in UK, Germany, Czech Republic and Portugal with more dates being added.</p>
<p>'The Language of Curiosity' is a collection of stories about different facets of post-modern real-life experiences from working for the man, attitudes towards lust, passion and casual sex, space travel, social systems and abuse by power and money, war and the global refugee crisis, gatekeepers in the music industry, people giving up and growing old before their time and feel good ‘70s inspired British rock and British blues; it's like looking at different sides of a Rubik's cube. </p>
<p>From full-on rock ’n’ roll tribal drums, thunderous bass, badass dirty guitar riffs, drunken echoes of slide and lap steel, melting melodies and vocal harmonies combined with old school valve guitar amps and analog tape machines - Starlite & Campbell have a very British sound!</p>
<p>With a vibe and feel reminiscent of the mid-'60s to early '70s British rock & British blues; think Peter Green, Faces, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin but not like those really... more like Starlite-Campbell!</p>
<p><em>“So unique, so cool! So much love and passion!” Jörn Braun, RTL, Germany </em></p>
<p>The past three single releases have garnered fantastic feedback including BBC Radio 2 amongst other national and international radio and festival enquiries; there is a palpable sense of excitement and buzz surrounding the release of their highly anticipated second album.;</p>

<p>European & British blues award nominees Suzy Starlite and Simon Campbell of the <a href="https://starlite-campbell.com/">Starlite Campbell Band</a> release their new single 'Can’t Find My Way Home’ on Friday November 6, 2020.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/532034/0a6533bc267b5ae9a632edb81a3259aa0f3efc04/original/cant-find-my-way-home-cover-3000x3000.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="'Can't Find My Way Home' by the Starlite Campbell Band" style="margin: 10px 10px 20px;" /></p>
<p>Suzy explained “it’s hard to take in just how much all of our lives have changed over these past few months, leaving a lot of us feeling disorientated and burned out. There’s a real sense of vulnerability right now for many of us and having somewhat of a nomadic lifestyle as full-time musicians, we’ve always felt a deep connection to ‘Can’t Find My Way Home’, more so now than ever!”</p>
<p>With Suzy Starlite’s simple bassline, Simon Campbell’s finger-picking style on acoustic guitar and their melodic double harmonies, the song finds a contemporary home in 2020.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.americanbluesscene.com/" target="_blank">American Blues Scene</a>, the world's largest independent blues, rock and roots website, is set to host the official world premiere of the music video on Thursday 5th November. It was filmed on a summer’s evening in a neighbour’s field in Lower Saxony, Germany with an old recycled washing machine drum for a firepit and a few candles flickering under the night sky.</p>
<p>Once again, photographer <a href="https://philkneen.wordpress.com/">Phil Kneen</a> captured the spirit of the song on film for the single artwork.</p>
<p>With the Starlite Campbell Band’s debut album ’Blueberry Pie’ nominated for best album in the European blues awards, their second album ‘The Language of Curiosity’ set for release on April 9, 2021, continues to push the boundaries of British blues and British rock. The record also features longtime collaborators Jonny Henderson and Christian Madden who are sharing keyboard duties and drummer Steve Gibson.</p>

The Supertone Matamp!! Killer Sound!!
<p>Supertone producer and musician <a contents="Simon Campbell " data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://simoncampbell.com/about" target="_blank">Simon Campbell </a>needs a lot of clean headroom for his Mosrite Guitar's double neck and a superb pedal platform for fuzz and other distortion fx which will be used on the next <a contents="Starlite Campbell Band" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://starlite-campbell.com/" target="_blank">Starlite Campbell Band</a> album, ‘The Language Of Curiosity’.</p>
<p><img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/516665/5a21f64515922afdff92e921398500edfd4ec44f/original/9695d95a-f5d7-4e7a-b058-d242a2b6014a.jpeg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpeg" class="size_xl justify_right border_none" alt="Supertone Matamp 120W" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 20px;" /></p>
<p>Simon effused "we have worked with Matamp creating this new 120W monster based on the ones designed by Matt Mathias and used by Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Wishbone Ash and Jimmy Page in the early 60’s / 70’s.</p>
<p>The clean tone is wonderful, not like a Fender - very British - with the preamp circuit design quintessentially original, featuring two JJ ECC83, but with a slightly altered tone stack to our specifications. Of course, it still includes the magical four position drive switch, bass boost and presence/boost circuit which incorporates an inductor. Output tubes are four standard JJ EL34's but the thing that sets it apart are the massive mains and output transformers used by the team at Matamp."</p>
<p><img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/516665/770f0c9b10aca9ff5ef395600a685102d6b48f58/original/img-7319.jpeg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpeg" class="size_xl justify_left border_none" alt="Supertone Matamp with the matching 4x12 cabinet" style="margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>"When asked Peter Green described the tone he wanted from an amp: “Sweet, but not like treacle, like honey.” - this does the trick for sure" Simon added.</p>
<p>"The 4x12 cabinet has totally different dimensions to a Marshal giving it bigger and tighter bottom end. The Supertone model is loaded with a special driver by Celestion Speakers. I am not going to reveal the model as you need to guess when you hear it, so keep a track of the sounds on the Starlite Campbell Band website!</p>

<p>It's different - blues with an eastern European twist, leaning towards Starlite & Campbell's fun acoustic sensibilities and as you would expect, lyrics about real people and places.</p>
<p>The story begins up in the attic of the old family home, rooting through a mountain of dusty boxes and hidden treasures of long-forgotten heirlooms and memories.</p>
<p>The discovery of an old battered suitcase and the secrets hidden inside lead you on an adventure that takes you to a place where time can be a great healer of both the past and the present.</p>
<p>Recorded live with just one overdub at the same time as their European Awards-nominated album 'Blueberry Pie', the song also features Steve Gibson on drums and vocal contributions from Hummock, one of their studio hounds.</p>
<hr><p>Photograph by Phil Kneen, Isle of Man; Single artwork by Barry Kinder of Track & Kern, UK; Mastered by Jon Astley, Close to the Edge, UK; Recorded at Supertone Records Studio, Valencia. Spain</p>

<p><em>They never dropped a note all night, and why would they with a line-up featuring Steve Gibson on drums, Jonny Henderson on hammond, Simon Campbell on guitar and the explosive Ms. Starlite herself!"</em></p>
<p>The band attracted some great comments!</p>

Legendary engineer Phill Brown loves Starlite Campbell Band's Blueberry Pie
<p><a href="https://supertonerecords.com/simon-campbell"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/532034/45f868a158ad69070ec4785d141bd1b639688cd4/original/phill-brown-simon-campbell-by-suzy-starlite.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="Simon Campbell and Phill Brown" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 20px;" />Simon</a> is a big devotee of British recording studios and the people that work within them. <a href="https://tapedemon.net/" target="_blank">Phill Brown</a> is a legend in the recording world having worked with a host of magical artists from the 60's to the present day!</p>
<p>During the 60's and 70's <a href="http://www.phillbrown.net/artist-list.html" target="_blank">he worked with</a> Traffic, Dusty Springfield, Tyrannosaurus Rex, The Move, The Troggs, Jimi Hendrix, Arthur Brown, The Nice, Joe Cocker, Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, Leonard Cohen, The Small Faces, The Rolling Stones, Steve Miller Band, Perth County Conspiracy, Ray Stevens, Lulu, Duke Ellington, Jimmy Cliff, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cat Stevens, Jeff Beck, Harry Nilsson, Brian Eno, Murray Head, Bob Marley, Joni Mitchell, Robert Palmer, Dana Gillespie, Jim Capaldi, Joan Armatrading, Alex Harvey, Paul Kossoff, Little Feat and The Meters.</p>
<p>He is very well known for his work in the 80's with the late, great Mark Hollis and Talk Talk.</p>
<p>The first introduction to Phill was through his funny and informative book '<a href="https://tapedemon.net/">Are We Still Rolling</a>' where he details his career, studio techniques and the unbridled hedonism in the music scene; an essential read for any musician, engineer or producer. Its strapline 'Studios, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll - One Man's Journey Recording Classic Albums' says it all.</p>
<p>Recently he and Suzy met up with Phill at <a href="https://www.brindisakitchens.com/restaurant/casa-brindisa-south-kensington/" target="_blank">Cafe Brindisa</a> in South Kensington to talk about all things recording and it was clear from the moment they met they were singing from the same technical and creative song sheet!</p>
<p>After a wonderful dinner laced with great rock 'n roll stories, he listened to the album on 180g vinyl and said:</p>
<blockquote>Sounds wonderful... Great sound, really enjoyed the double album. Onwards!!!</blockquote>
<p>An accolade indeed! Let's see what happens in the future - we suggest you watch this space...</p>

European Blues Award Nominees Starlite Campbell Band - Sell Out Shows & UK Tour!
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/532034/4302d720e1bfd259db07e9715be3f38af807120f/original/starlite-campbell-band-tuesday-night-music-club-haydn-hart-6-1000.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="Simon Campbell & Suzy Starlite of the Starlite Campbell Band at the Tuesday Night Music Club" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 20px;" />Following European Blues Awards nominees the <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/starlite-campbell-band">Starlite Campbell Band</a>’s hugely successful Saturday night headline show at Australia's prestigious Wangaratta festival of jazz and blues, the band hit the road for a series of sell out shows on ‘The Mince Pie UK Tour’ in December to support their international hit album <a href="https://starlite-campbell.bandcamp.com/album/blueberry-pie" target="_blank">Blueberry Pie</a>.</p>
<p>The band consists of husband and wife duo <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/suzy-starlite">Suzy Starlite</a> and <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/simon-campbell">Simon Campbell</a> who work as a four-piece with some of the world’s finest musicians. The <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/starlite-campbell-band">Starlite Campbell Band</a> is steeped in British blues - think The Faces, early Led Zeppelin and Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac. With contemporary original songs inspired by real life and real people, they have a sound and vibe reminiscent of the mid 60’s to early 70’s.</p>
<blockquote><em>Unquestionably, Blueberry Pie is a stunning debut | 5* Morgan Hogarth, Rock n Reel Magazine</em></blockquote>
<p>The Mince Pie Tour kicked off on with a rapturous full-house reception at The Tuesday Music Night Club in Couldson, moving on to The Iron Road, Pershore, Bannerman's in Edinburgh, Derby Hall at The Met where the band recorded a live video, Blues at the Bay Cleveland and finishing off in style with a massive Christmas party at Saltburn Blues Club.</p>
<p>Iain Cameron of <a href="http://www.bluesenthused.com/2018/12/starlite-campbell-band-bannermans_22.html" target="_blank">Blues Enthused wrote</a>:</p>
<blockquote><em>This was the real deal, scintillating stuff… Simon Campbell and Suzy Starlite are mad for the music, and mad for each other – and their enthusiasm is infectious.</em></blockquote>
<blockquote><em>And then – and then, folks – they close out with ‘Walkin’ Out The Door’, the opening track from Blueberry Pie. And this slice of mid-Sixties style soulful blues, with some wah-wah atmospherics, gradually morphs into Led Feckin’ Zeppelin, the riff tipping the hat to the likes of ‘How Many More Times’ while Starlite channels John Paul Jones with an increasingly mountainous bass line. And Campbell goes into mad axeman mode, conjuring up a howling guitar interlude with the aid of an old-fashioned echoplex box of tricks – real analogue tape, boys and girls – ahead of an echo-laden solo. Greta Van Fleet eat your juvenile hearts out...</em></blockquote>
<p>The band are touring throughout 2019 with two shows confirmed in March at the legendary Half Moon Putney and the Greystones, Sheffield plus special shows at Darlington Blues Club in May and The Met Bury in November.</p>

<blockquote><em>The artistic team is delighted to welcome Starlite Campbell Band to the Wangaratta festival of jazz & blues for the Australian debut at the Merriwa Park blues marquee on the Saturday night. And adding further icing to their blues cake is the addition of Clayton Doley filling out the grooves on Hammond: roll on November #wangarattajazz.</em></blockquote>
<p>The Starlite Campbell Band will be playing an eclectic mix of songs taken from their critically acclaimed album 'Blueberry Pie' and Campbell’s two previous solo albums <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/7r8uS9iYTqlCcFvuqfNWJo?si=vANWdQlvQkmWtE1uzbzM0w">ThirtySix</a> and <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/4PDjcAMDZZoBKOraoCUCSi?si=zuYc2V0_QaSSiC4Zp06NUA">The Knife</a>.</p>
<p>The night promises to be extra special as it also features new material from their much anticipated second studio album ‘The Language of Curiosity’ set for release in 2019 - a world premiere!</p>
<p>Starlite said: "We are full-time musicians and it’s been a real whirlwind since we decided to write and record an album together, even more so since we released ‘Blueberry Pie’.</p>
<p>The band have received such incredible support from hundreds of radio stations across the world and the reviews have been absolutely fantastic! Then the phone started ringing (old school) and our tour diary is now steadily filling up with dates booked at festivals and venues throughout the UK and Europe.”</p>
<p>She added “Simon and I have a real affinity with our Aussie music-loving audience and their support has been ace! We were stoked when we got a call from Frank offering us the opportunity to play - it was meant to be!”</p>
<p>The 2018 Wangaratta Festival of jazz & blues offers an eclectic mix of national and international jazz and blues artists promising to be a fantastic weekend of live music in and around the wonderful cathedral city of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wangaratta">Wangaratta</a> and runs from Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th November, 2018.</p>

<p>The band were looking for a new design that represented their ethos and sound which engenders the spirit of the halcyon days of music from 1965 - 1975.</p>
<p>Creative Director Barry Kinder's attention to detail is second to none as he painstakingly took a font, redrew it by hand, scanned it, put it back into illustrator and then used it in the logo! Unique to the <a aria-describedby="js_5l1" aria-owns="" class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=901145763272655&extragetparams=%7B%22fref%22%3A%22gs%22%2C%22directed_target_id%22%3A1546465498940986%2C%22dti%22%3A1546465498940986%2C%22hc_location%22%3A%22group%22%7D" data-hovercard-prefer-more-content-show="1" href="https://www.facebook.com/starlite.campbell/?ref=gs&fref=gs&dti=1546465498940986&hc_location=group" id="js_5l2">Starlite Campbell Band</a>!</p>
<p>Various colour options were then shared with the band's loyal core of supporters who unananimously decided on the yellow and black colour scheme.</p>
<p>We look forward to seeing the band's new logo on their new range of merchandise and future music releases.</p>

<p>The full band will be playing featuring:</p>
<ul> <li>Simon Campbell - Electric Guitar / Vocals</li> <li>Suzy Starlite - Bass guitar / Vocals</li> <li>Steve Gibson - Drums</li> <li>Jonny Henderson - Wurlitzer Electric Piano and Hammond Organ</li>
</ul>
<p>The Starlite Campbell Band are joined by a great line-up of artists across the weekend including Dr Feelgood, Big Country, Sari Schorr, Kyla Brox, Deborah Bonham, Pat McManus, Babajack (feat. Troy Redfern), Catfish, Davy Knowles, La Vendore Rogue, Travelling Redwing, Think Floyd and The Malone Sibun Band.</p>
<p>The Linton Festival was started in 2001 when some of the regulars of The Alma Inn, Linton, (near Ross-on-Wye) in the outstanding beautiful countryside of Herefordshire, realised it would be cheaper to get a band to come play at their place rather than hire a mini bus and drive all the way to Dorset. So instead of having one band, they thought “what the hell?” and so booked the whole weekend and got the beer in.</p>
<p>This festival is particularly special to the band as <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/suzy-starlite">Starlite</a> was born in Ross-on-Wye - a wonderful homecoming where the band will be playing music from their worldwide critically acclaimed debut album <a href="https://starlite-campbell.bandcamp.com/album/blueberry-pie" target="_blank">'Blueberry Pie'</a> plus music from <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/simon-campbell">Campbell's</a> first two solo albums and new material.</p>
<p>Tickets for Linton Festival are available to buy <a href="http://tickets.lintonfestival.org/shop/">here.</a></p>
<p>Following multiple warm up gigs on the Isle of Man, the Starlite Campbell Band will also be touring Australia later in the year, which includes a major International Festival (details to be announced) followed by a two week UK tour which includes dates at the Tuesday Night Music Club - London, Saltburn Blues Club - Saltburn, The Iron Road - Evesham, The Cluny - Newcastle and The Met - Bury with more to be confirmed.</p>
<p>** Also, for one night only, the band will be playing a special one-off 'Power-Trio' warm-up gig at Bristol's famous venue The Mothers' Ruin on <strong>Thursday 5th July</strong>, 2018.</p>
<p><strong>The Mothers' Ruin </strong>- <em>"<strong>The best club in the UK for future rock n roll stars!” Noel Gallagher</strong></em></p>
<p>Tickets for this special Bristol gig are available to buy <a href="https://www.ents24.com/bristol-events/the-mothers-ruin/the-starlite-campbell-band/5315304?utm_medium=widget&utm_source=mothersruinbristol.weebly.com&utm_campaign=The%20Mothers%27%20Ruin-gBWg" target="_blank">here.</a></p>

<p>‘Blueberry Pie’ - a fresh taste of British Blues released on independent label Supertone Records has garnered an outstanding 35 four & five star reviews across the globe: from Memphis to New York, LA to Paris, London to Nashville. </p>
<p>British Blues Awards nominee <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/simon-campbell">Simon Campbell</a> and <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/suzy-starlite">Suzy Starlite</a> co-wrote, performed, recorded and produced <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/news/2017/blueberry-pie-by-the-starlite-campbell-band-released-to-international-critical-acclaim">Blueberry Pie</a> which has been submitted in two categories: Best Traditional Blues and Best Contemporary Blues Album. </p>
<p>For it to be nominated the work is voted for by voting members of the awards. </p>
<p>If you know a voting member or are a voting member yourself, we would sincerely appreciate your time to consider this work which was beautifully written, performed and recorded using old skool techniques to capture the soul and heartbeat of the music. </p>
<p><em>“Dare we say, their debut release on the Supertone label, Blueberry Pie, will be taking the Isles, nay, the world, by storm... Just as the Rolling Stones are making huge waves with their 30th studio release, Blue & Lonesome, along come a couple of seasoned musicians who bring back the sound of early UK blues, to near perfection.”</em> - JD Nash - American Blues Scene, USA</p>
<p>"[Suzy and Simon] created a terrific disc that may well become a modern classic. Unquestionably Blueberry Pie is a stunning debut." - Martin Hogarth, R2 Magazine - 5*</p>
<p><em>“IMHO, this is a potentially award-winning album, that should be reaching an audience that other bands cannot reach!”</em> - Ian McKenzie, Blues in the South (UK)</p>
<p><em>"Campbell has a real command of the instrument, delivering everything from bar room grit on “Empire” to testimonial bits of inspirations on the grieving “Cry Over You.”</em> - Garrett Bethmann, Tahoe OnStage, USA</p>
<p><em>“Starlite herself is a powerful bassist with a hugely enjoyable grip of laying down a rock-solid backbeat that at times spills out exuberantly to highlight her own ability and drive the tracks forward." </em>- Iain Patience, Elmore Magazine, USA</p>
<p><em>"Together they have recorded a truly superb album that accurately picks up the vibe of the mid-late 60s British Blues scene. Yet this is no copycat rehash – it is as fresh and exciting as any new Blues, but with a serious salute to that older, highly influential, period. One of the best Blues albums that I’ve heard in a long time."</em> - Phil TheMusic Quill, UK</p>

<p><strong>WHAT IS THE SUPERTONE LIVERPOOL?</strong></p>
<p>The amp is based around an EL84 class A power section design and two quite different preamp stages: channel one with an EF86 tube and channel two with an ECC83 offering a wide variety of tones very simply dialled in.</p>
<p>As you would expect from the name and configuration the sound is very 60’s British but the unique twist is that you can achieve high levels of overdrive by ‘cascading’ the channels and using the ‘gravy’ and ‘thrust’ switches (yes really, they are called this).</p>
<p>We have used a minimum of components to retain the vintage feel and sound making your fingers the stars of the show.</p>
<p>They are built and designed by master engineer Dan Whitelock-Jones of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dan.whitelockjones" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">DWJ Amplification</a> in Liverpool, England who is working in collaboration with Supertone's tone meister, session guitarist and music producer <a href="https://simoncampbell.com/about" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Simon Campbell</a>.</p>
<p>Speakers are vitally important and Supertone have developed our own design Alnico loudspeakers which are handmade in England by Tayden Loudspeakers. The 10” and 12” units are available in 1 x 12” (Larry), 2 x 10” (Andy), 2 x 12” (Eric) and 3 x 10” (Pete) cabinets.</p>
<p>The amplifier has speaker outputs for 4, 8 and 16 ohms so basically they can be used with virtually any configuration of cabinet.</p>
<h3>SPECIFICATION</h3>
<ul> <li>Two independent channels linkable in series (cascade)</li> <li>Voltage selector switch for use with 240V, 220V or 120V AC (50Hz)</li> <li>Three speaker outputs set at 4, 8 and 16 Ohms</li> <li>Two models: 18Watts or 35 Watts of class A power delivered by two / four EL84 tubes</li> <li>Ultra quiet due to superior grounding and ground plane optimised design</li> <li>Finest components, hand-wired on tag strip</li> <li>Custom wound power and output transformers to Supertone specifications</li> <li>Pre Amp output and Power Amp input specifically to be used with the external Supertone ‘Effects King’ gain impedance interface</li> <li>Handmade cabinet, finger jointed 18mm baltic birch marine ply and available in two colours of tour grade tolex; black and chocolate</li> <li>Hand selected and matched preamp and poweramp tubes</li>

America Loves Blueberry Pie!

<hr><p>There’s a new group on the British blues horizon, but you’d never know it. The <a href="http://music.starlite-campbell.com/" target="_blank">Starlite Campbell Band</a> formed just one year ago, and dare we say, their debut release on the <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/" target="_blank">Supertone</a> label, <em>Blueberry Pie</em>, will be taking the Isles, nay, the world, by storm.</p>
<p>Just as the <a href="https://www.americanbluesscene.com/2016/12/the-rolling-stones-blue-lonesome-takes-us-back-to-the-beginning/" target="_blank">Rolling Stones</a> are making huge waves with their 30th studio release, <em>Blue & Lonesome</em>, along come a couple of seasoned musicians who bring back the sound of early UK blues, to near perfection. We use the term, couple, quite literally, as Suzy Starlite and Simon Campbell tied the proverbial knot in 2014. For <em>Blueberry Pie</em>, they added just the right touches by bringing in shuffle master drummer, <strong>Steve Gibson</strong>, keyboardist, <strong>Jonny Henderson</strong>; and Spanish harmonica doyen, <strong>Danny Boy Sánchez</strong>. With Campbell’s tight as a tick guitar, Starlite’s deep, funky bass and their combined natural vocals, this pie is delicious to the very last.</p>
<p>They cover all the bases on this one, beginning with what will surely be the hit track on the album, “Walkin’ Out the Door.” After the opening stick count, we were immediately transported to Memphis, circa 1962, with Henderson’s Hammond summoning the image of <strong>Booker T. Jones</strong>. But wait, what’s this? The wah-wah guitar, heavy ride and bottomless bass begin to conjure the ghosts of <strong>Cream</strong>. This is what the originators of UK blues took from their American mentors and fabricated into their own distinct genre. The Starlite Campbell Band nailed the sound, on an outstanding original track.</p>
<p>All eleven tracks on this offering are originals, written by Starlite and Campbell over the course of just a few months. The band’s hat-tip to deep Chicago blues comes out on, “Cry Over You,” and the final cut, “Thrill You,” nods to the string-bending mastery of the late, great <strong>B. B. King</strong>. One can hear the influences of folk, rock, and blues all come across those vintage amps.</p>
<p>The couple were completely hands-on with this album. Suzy and Simon not only wrote all the songs, but they also produced, engineered and recorded the entire release at their own, Supertone Records Studios in Estivella, Valencia, Spain. Starlite even took the cover photo, a sweet picture of her late grandmother, Betty, that she took in the late 70s.</p>
<p>From the haunting, “I Need a Light,” to the dance floor packing, “Your So Good For Me,” to the dulcet acoustic title track, <em>Blueberry Pie</em>, is just what the doctor ordered, diet be damned.</p>

<p>Simon added "it wouldn't have been possible without the fantastic support of the IBBA radio presenters!"</p>
<p>The unsolicited words of support that they have also received via radio shows, emails and messages has been, in Suzy's words "Blinkin' amazing!! - it's been very emotional for us these past few weeks, well months actually, from when we first started writing the album all the way through the recording process to now!"</p>

<blockquote>"Fresh and modern, it’s witty and literate, it swings and it rocks, and it’s well-nigh perfectly executed. Hell, even the cover photograph is sparky" Iain Cameron, Blues Enthused, UK</blockquote>
<blockquote>“Listeners can feel the aura of classic blues in its grooves. The Starlite Campbell Band, while being totally legit, original and able song craftspeople, are deeply steeped in the British tradition of the genre.<br><br>There’s even hints to the Irish invasion - some Gary Moore overtones in CRY OVER YOU - while the powerful opener WALKIN' OUT THE DOOR has got “HIT” written all over.<br><br>Great cover, too!” Edoardo Fassio, Catfish Blues Show, Italy</blockquote>

'Blueberry Pie' A Fresh Taste of British Blues by the Starlite Campbell Band - Available to Pre-Order Now!

<p>Inspired by the mid-to-late 60's electric blues, the new album by Supertone artists <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/suzy-starlite">Suzy Starlite</a> and <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/simon-campbell">Simon Campbell</a> (aka the Starlite Campbell Band) features <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/steve-gibson">Steve Gibson</a> on drums (Van Morrison, Jack Bruce, Chris Farlowe), Jonny Henderson on Hammond organ and Wurlitzer electric piano (Robben Ford, Matt Schofield, Otis Rush) with special guest Danny Boy Sánchez on harmonica.</p>
<p>Starlite and Campbell, who co-wrote the album said "The heartbeat of Blues music for us lies in the telling of life's stories and experiences and, as songwriters, we wanted to document a musical snapshot of the flavours and feel of life today."</p>
<p>Recorded at <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/recording-studio">Supertone's residential recording studio</a>, Simon Campbell, the Producer of the album said "My favourite period of the British / Electric Blues was from 1965 to 1969; the days of the original Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck (not forgetting our US friends Mike Bloomfield, Roy Buchanan and Danny Gatton etc) in their respective bands.</p>
<p>This late 60's thing typifies the 'feel' and 'sound' that we were aiming for on the record, but of course with a few surprises."</p>
<p>He added "I did my first guitar session at the young age of 17 in 1975, and I was terrified, marvelling at the environment and being surrounded by many fine, well-seasoned musicians, engineers and producers (including <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/news/2015/big-jim-sullivan">Big Jim Sullivan</a> and Derek Lawrence) so I was lucky enough to learn first-hand from some of the music industries finest producers about recording techniques and music production."</p>
<p>'Blueberry Pie' is best described as having a light and succulent crust of electric and acoustic guitars, long and short-scale basses, vintage amplifiers, real Hammond organ and Wurlitzer electric piano, harmonica, drums and natural voices. The filling is made of contemporary stories of loss, love, despair and most importantly, lots of hope...</p>
<p>'Blueberry Pie' by the Starlite Campbell Band is set for worldwide release on 1st February, 2017.</p>
<p>It will be available to buy digitally, on CD and special limited edition 180g vinyl <a contents="direct from our online shop" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://shop.supertonerecords.com/collections/music" target="_blank">direct from our online shop</a>.</p>

<p>The band comprised of <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=100002340668104" href="https://www.facebook.com/steve.gibson.104">Steve Gibson</a> on drums (Van Morrison, Jack Bruce, Chris Farlowe) and <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=530696662" href="https://www.facebook.com/christian.madden.12">Christian Madden</a> on Hammond Organ and Wurlitzer (Atomic Rooster, The Earlies, Jimi Goodwin) and were joined by outstanding Valencian harp player <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=100000478815420" href="https://www.facebook.com/DannyBoyVlc">Danny Boy Sánchez</a>, who also appears on the new record.</p>
<p>Suzy and Simon co-wrote the album: Suzy commented "It was emotional to say the least to bring the songs to life on stage. The audience were incredible and their support really blew us away; people were dancing and cheering and we really felt the love - you couldn't have wished for a better night!"</p>
<p>Simon added "It would not have been possible without the help of our friends and supporters. It wasn't a simple turn up and play scenario as we took almost every piece of gear that was used on the recording as we really wanted people to get a real taste of what the album will sound like.</p>
<p>Ximo Romero and the mighty men of Estivella ensured the Hammond Organ and Leslie made it safely out of the studio. Our great friend and sound engineer Salvador Marti rocked up with a second van to transport the many electric and bass guitars, Hiwatt DR201 Bass Head, Bergantino 6x10, the full <a href="http://sakaedrums.com/en/" target="_blank">Sakae Drums</a> Trilogy Kit, Germino and Gartone Vibrato King amplifiers... There was so much gear being moved I'm sure our labradors Hummock and Bobby thought we were moving house!"</p>

Jonny Henderson records the Starlite Campbell Band new blues album 'Blueberry Pie' at Supertone!
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/532034/620d91142ca64416935b3eee68e2f015ff6aefe1/original/jonny-henderson-2-supertone-blueberry-pie-1600.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="Jonny Henderson" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 20px;" />Double British Blues Award winner Jonny Henderson flew out to Supertone's Studio in August to work with producer <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/simon-campbell">Simon Campbell</a> on the recording of the <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/the-starlite-campbell-band">Starlite Campbell Band</a> new blues album 'Blueberry Pie.'</p>
<p>Jonny is steeped in the Blues. He has been voted Keyboard Player of the Year in both the 2010 and 2011 <a href="http://www.britishbluesawards.com/home/4581355856">British Blues Awards</a> and has toured with blues guitarist Matt Schofield, the legendary Robben Ford and singer Ian Siegal.</p>
<p>This, along with his work in the studio with Matt, Ian and Otis Rush made him the perfect choice to record Hammond Organ and Wurlitzer electric piano parts on the new record.</p>
<p>Joining him on drums for the album is <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/steve-gibson">Steve Gibson</a>, one of the tightest and hardest working drummers out there and again very much steeped in the blues: he plays one of the best shuffles in the business!</p>
<p>He was a member of two bands signed to major labels and has played with the Icicle Works, Buzzcocks, Maggie Bell, Larry Garner, Madeleine Bell, Van Morrison, Larry Garner, Chris Farlowe and Jack Bruce. He is an endorsee of both <a href="http://uk.paiste.com/">Paiste Cymbals</a> and <a href="http://sakaedrums.com/en/">SAKAE Drums</a>.</p>
<p>It was a fantastic experience working with such talented musicians.</p>
<p>To whet your appetite, 'Blueberry Pie' is best described as a light and succulent crust of electric and acoustic guitars, long and short-scale basses, vintage amplifiers, Hammond organ, Wurlitzer electric piano, harmonica, drums and natural voices.</p>
<p>The filling is made of contemporary stories of loss, love, despair and most importantly, lots of hope... drenched in a sweet and sour sauce of 1960's traditional British Blues.</p>
<p>'Blueberry Pie' by the Starlite Campbell Band will be released by Supertone Records on 1st February, 2017 and <a href="https://supertonerecords.com/the-starlite-campbell-band">available to pre-order</a> on CD and vinyl from 10th November 2016.</p>

What do Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Joni Mitchell, Ray Charles, Queen and Stevie Wonder have in common?
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/532034/8804ce595b9ea4982b1531ebc4117874362fa5c4/original/wurlitzer-1200x525.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="Wurlitzer EP 200A" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 20px;" />Answer: the Wurlitzer electronic piano!</p>
<p>Many artists over the years have incorporated the punchy reed tone of a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wurlitzer_electric_piano">Wurlitzer 200A</a> in their recordings and live performances. Timeless songs by Queen 'You're My Best Friend" or "What'd I Say" by Ray Charles both use a Wurlitzer piano; in fact many musicians prefer the Wurlitzer's reed tone for both live and studio use because of how gritty it sounds with a little distortion.</p>
<p>Any plug-in simulation of this magnificent sound will never compare to playing the real deal - how can it? If you can't touch the keys to create the variation in tone and dynamics then all you get is a cold, detached, unemotional imposter - you really don't know what you are missing!</p>
<p>Already it's been put to good use in the Supertone studio...</p>

<p>Supertone's ethos is all about encouraging a musical synergy and creatively inspiring environment for musicians to write and record their music together. As a residential studio, artists are able to live and work together in a private and inspirational space to enable complete focus on the creative process, away from outside distractions.</p>
<p>Recorded live over four days with the band living and working together at the studio, Supertone's producer Simon Campbell who engineered the recording, said:</p>
<p>"Supertone is all about capturing the essence and magic of a live performance, where the band are playing together and the music is the most important aspect - in service of the song.<br>Working and living together with such talented musicians who are also great people was one of those life experiences you will never forget! We are very proud and humbled to have been a part of the making of this album."</p>

<p>They share stories about the incredible era of music and the musicians that have inspired them, playing guitar and bass, the obligatory gear-geeking, studio recording techniques, songwriting, the influence of movies on music, the power of the groove, great Auntie Winnie from Wales and the excitement of thinking about what 2016 will bring.</p>

Bluesdoodles review of Simon Campbell and Suzy Starlite at The Convent
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/532034/1cc561a00b2e399c2cc7185b0a26178e7d595a9c/original/suzy-starlite-simon-campbell-cristina-tejeda-square.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="Simon Campbell & Suzy Starlite" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 20px;" />"Bluesdoodles is back for the second time in a week to this unique and very special venue, the welcome and warmth from the moment you step into <a href="http://theconvent.net/">The Convent</a>, through to the show where the sound has a depth that you would not expect from an old chapel sound that resonates with echoes of the stone and vaulted ceilings.</p>
<p>Tonight in Stroud and across the world via Netgig we have <a href="http://simoncampbell.com/">Simon Campbell</a> & <a href="https://suzystarlite.com">Suzy Starlite</a> a duo who create music with a wealth of skill on guitar and bass, and joining them on the stage was Danilo Adriano Argenti Gener completing the rhythm section on drums and <a href="http://christianmadden.co.uk/">Christian Madden</a> on Hammond and Grand Piano filling in the sound so that the audiences were drawn into every varied rack offered tonight.</p>
<p>Simon is definitely upfront with guitar playing that ranges from controlled blues, melodic acoustic, Rock n Roll energy and the exploration of the strings in the style of Prog Rock, in his white suit and straw hat he grasped your attention; and, more importantly, it was retained throughout the gig.</p>
<p>He would not have the freedom to explore his music if he did not have a rhythm section that was that rare combination solid but not staid, the drumming from Danilo was inspiring sometimes showing that it can be more effective to do less with well-timed drum beats augmenting the full sound being delivered by the guitar keyboard combination.</p>
<p>Danilos little half-shuffles and the use of sticks, standard, percussive mallets and brushes often with more than one type of stick in one hand there is a tonal texture and subtlety not normally heard from the back.</p>
<p>Supporting Danilo in creating a rhythm section with hidden depths is Suzy Starlite whose bass playing engaged and was the perfect foil for the enthusiastic playing from Simon; it is amazing that she has being playing Bass for just eighteen months as she has a natural feel for creating the bass tone that compliments the tracks that varied across the set.</p>
<p>The keys from Christian were sublime from full organ crescendos through to gentle notes he wrapped the third layer of chords around Simons guitar adding shape and texture to the lyrics as the story unfolded. This was a quartet that wanted to talk to you through their eclectic mix of tones on tracks including a collection from their current album The Knife, including the title track, Dreamer and Affairs of the Heart re-affirming the quality of the songs included.</p>
<p>We also had an early listening opportunity for their anticipated forthcoming album The Coat; the title track saw Suzy leaving the bass and sitting behind the majestic Grand Piano, her vocal prowess had already been confirmed with some stylish Harmonising with Simon and she now sung a song very special to her and for everyone who has lost someone important or they are not there and was dedicated to her mother who has early onset Alzheimers, a thought-provoking and emotionally stirring number.</p>
<p>The last song of the night Hello, which is also on the forthcoming album, had five distinct movements and, is definitely more Prog Rock than blues but worked so well with Suzys vocals, clever guitar solos. Each movement had its own distinctive shape and tonal character and for me full of interest and the pick of the set for me.</p>
<p>This was an exciting, intriguing at times challenging set stretching across all the styles of recorded modern music and it worked, they are certainly worth checking out as they will surprise and the musicianship is spot-on.</p>
<p>Listen to what you missed from Simon Campbell and Suzy Starlite via The Convent's <a href="https://theconvent.netgig.co.uk/event/the-knife-european-tour/">Netgig</a>. Bluesdoodles will and we were there on the night.</p>

<p>"If you want a great recording experience that needs that extra touch of magic, love and nurturing... Supertone Studios is your kind of place.</p>
<p>I couldn't have felt more comfortable mixing my latest album with drummer Jorge Rossy at Supertone Studios. The studio set up is stunning and the equipment is to the highest standard.</p>
<p>The working environment is calm and relaxed, allowing for concentration. We were able to enjoy our time but also be extremely productive. This is one of the most unique and impressive recording studios I have had the pleasure to be in!</p>
<p>Simon and Suzy are very easy going folks and they will always be ready to help during the recording or mixing session. Great ears and empathy; great coffee machine!</p>
<p>The town of Estivella and the area near by have a special magic and age-old tradition that fascinates the traveller and fills their free time with unrepeatable moments."</p>

GROUNDPILOTS at Supertone: a video diary

Featuring Simon Campbell (Guitar and MOOG Guitar) & Suzy Starlite-Campbell (Bass). This is what they said about the experience:</p>
<p>"What an exhilarating and productive experience it was for "Ground Pilots" to fly over to Valencia Spain and work the incredibly talented duo "Simon Campbell & Suzy Starlite Campbell" on our 2nd album "The Race - A Magical Boy - the Film".</p>
<p>The studio set up is a musicians dream with everything you require at hand including a Trident Vector mixing desk plus an array of ultra superb guitars & microphones to ensure the sound quality of everything you do at Supertone Records is the best it could possibly be.</p>
<p>Soon as we arrived we felt at home as "Simon & Suzy" made us feel so welcome straight away as they're such kind and attentive people.</p>
<p>Day one was a great bonding session for us all as we discussed about the weekend recording we had ahead, also visiting their local town and even having a little dance to a band parade in the streets before heading back to the residential studios and having a swim in the pool and listening to Abbey Road on Vinyl in a thunderstorm. (A moment i'll never forget).</p>
<p>When it was time to hit the studio, it was time to hit the studio in a big way full of excitement and enthusiasm, "Simon" was mind blowing with his knowledge of tech and his playability once he picked up a guitar made me feel like I was in guitar heaven setting his amplification to 10 making "Jimi Hendrix" blush, "Suzy" on equal measure playing her bass so expressively and on point was simply a joy to behold.</p>
<p>These guys know exactly what they're doing creatively and I'm so pleased to have had the chance to work with them both. a magical experience to say the least !!! 10/10"</p>

<p>"As the name implies, that's exactly what you get at Supertone Studios!</p>
<p>Simon and Suzy's dynamic mix of top quality microphones and state of the art recording gear coupled with an incredible audio console and a spacious, great sounding live room all add up to a superb recording experience.</p>
<p>In relaxed and comfortable surroundings, you can do what you go there to do.. play and record good music without distractions. Being such kind and professional people and in a charming and subtle way, Suzy and Simon provide an environment that's very conducive to creative work.</p>
<p>When you're ready to roll, they're ready with you… when you need a break, their humor and hospitality is refreshing and energizing.</p>
<p>Being experienced, seasoned musicians themselves, Simon and Suzy have naturally cultivated a wonderful balance of living and working through the rhythm of the day. They've refined and simplified the technical side of things so you can just focus on the music and enjoy an inspiring atmosphere.</p>
<p>Supertone Studios is a real oasis, unlike anything you'll find elsewhere. Whether you're having a coffee in their modern kitchen, sitting around the table in the big, airy dining room or outside by the pool chasing one of their adorable hounds, you'll feel right at home.</p>
<p>It's all part of the magic of that hidden and beautiful place, nestled in a rugged landscape under an open sky. Making music becomes an extension of being there…"</p>

<p>Walking around East Nashville we stumbled upon the fantastic <a href="http://www.fatbottombrewing.com/">Fat Bottom Brewery</a> - real friendly people and a great place!</p>
<p>They even gave us these beer koozies/coosies as a gift!</p>
<p>Needless to say, we will be going back... for more beer of course!</p>
