Move over, Ms L!

Hi all, wondering why you are looking at this jumbled up page? This is due to the fact that Facebook didn't like our url since it starts with wog, so we have been forced to move the blog. This was some time ago, and we have placed a script which would automatically send you to our new location. Obviously, this hasn't worked for all of you, since we have just finished moderating some of your comments which appeared on this site recently, and not on our new (and improved!) site. So what we're saying is head on over to our new site, and update your bookmarks!

Joan Baez surprises Ringo

Folk singer Joan Baez unexpectedly showed up on stage during Ringo Starr's opening concert for his European tour, at the Olympia in Paris yesterday. Her appearance seemed to be a surprise for Ringo as well, and when Baez gave the singing drummer a hug, he forgot to sing his lines.

Currently out on her own "Fare Thee Well tour", Joan Baez is currently playing a string of concerts at the Olympia, from June 4 to June 17, but last night was her day off.

At a press conference earlier in the day, Sir Ringo announced that a brand new book from him will be out soon, entitled, "Another Day In The Life".

The third in Ringo’s series of books, following the sell-out success of "Postcards From The Boys" (2003) and "Photograph" (2013), will present a previously unpublished collection of his photographs, captioned with his own thoughts and anecdotes, in addition to contributions from Paul McCartney, Joe Walsh and a host of other friends.

There's a new book coming from Ringo.

Fans can also expect the book to include quirky observational images and behind the scenes photos taken during events such as Ringo’s acceptance of a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and his return to New York’s Plaza Hotel, 50 years after The Beatles first visited the US.

Ringo said: "I love taking photos of random things, and seeing how they all fit together. Whether it is at home or on the road, certain things catch my eye – and when I see something that interests me, that’s the emotion of it, and I want to capture it. I am a photographer as well as a musician.  I love working with Genesis and had so much fun putting this collection of images together, both taken by me + a few collected along the way. I hope you enjoy it too."

The book is due out via Genesis Publications when Ringo starts his tour of North America, later in the year.

Compared to the concert in Atlantic City we reported from recently, Ringo and his All Starr Band had dropped three of the songs when playing in Paris.
