Asher Quinn Open Secret re-issue (News
date: 8-2-09, updated 22-3-09)

Ant and Asher, February 2009 |
Voiceprint Records have recently re-issued Asher Quinn's
debut solo album Open Secret. The album, which
was originally released in 1987, was produced and arranged with Ant and
was recorded at Ant's studio. It also features guest appearances by Andy Latimer of Camel and Tony Freer
of The Enid. The album has a progressive, classical, quietly epic
feel to it, and a deeply evocative nature where each piece conjures up a
striking visual narrative.
The Voiceprint Records re-issue of Open
Secret has new artwork and also features
five bonus tracks, including three songs (The power of love, Song
of the morning and Shine brightly) recorded during the
original sessions for the album. The first two songs have never
previously been released in any form and all three tracks have been newly
mixed from the original multi-track masters from Ant's archives for
inclusion on the re-issue.
More information about the re-issue of Open
Secret (including the track listing and a YouTube promo with
sound clips) can be seen here.
The album can be ordered from Voiceprint
or Camino
Records.

New book by Chris Stewart (News date: 11-3-09)
Chris Stewart's fourth book Three Ways To Capsize A Boat
(subtitled An Optimist Afloat) will be published by Sort Of Books on June 4th.
A prequel to the best-selling Driving Over Lemons, Three Ways To Capsize A
Boat relates the story of how before settling in Spain Chris landed the
job of sailing a Cornish Crabber around the Greek Islands. There was
just one tiny problem - Chris had never sailed before and didn't have the
foggiest idea how to start...
More information about the book can be seen on the Sort
Of Books site. Chris' first three books (Driving
Over Lemons, A Parrot In The Pepper Tree and The Almond
Blossom Appreciation Society) are also being re-issued at the same
time with new cover designs and are being marketed as the 'Lemons
Trilogy'.
