Guidecats Update from Cilve:-

Updates/Future Plans.

Preparations for Volumes 4 and 5 of "Guidecats" are under way simultaneously, and it is hoped that Volume 5 will appear sometime in 2011.
Susan Jameson (Take Three Girls, New Tricks,etc), is recording "The Duvet Cover" , and then hopes to record "Procrastination". She is trying to persuade her husband, James Bolam (Likely Lads, New Tricks, Beiderbecke Affair..) to record "The Atheist and the Bear". Sue is actually becoming quite a fan of Les's work.
Eighties pop singer, Nick Kershaw, has just completed a track called "What Is". Kershaw is at his best making tuneful songs with enigmatic lyrics, and this one is both classic Barker and classic Kershaw. It also soundes very Radio 2 friendly, so fingers crossed!
Tom Bliss is in the studio putting the finishing touches to his track "Van Gogh", and will shortly be recording a second track spoken by Captain Corelli's Mandolin author Louis de Berniere, who is performing in his own right.
Roy Bailey and Wheeler Street have bridged the generations of folk music to record "Ben Kenobi", possibly the first ever space shanty.
BBC Shropshire's former presenter, Nonny James has finished her rendition of "Send in the Cones", which will be released on volume 4, and has covered "Have You Got Any News of the Iceberg?", which will come out on volume 5 in a couple of years time.
The final mixes of the following tracks are now being produced:-
George Hamilton lV; "A Bunch of Mimes"
Dave Cash: "The Verb To Be"
Sniff Patrol:(actors Gerard McDermott, Gary Lilburn and Karl Prekopp from the theatre production of 'Calendar Girls') - a 'doo wop ' version of "Dachsunds with Erections Can't Climb Stairs"
Elaine.C.Smith (Rab.C.Nesbitt) "Runner Up the Wonderhorse"
Gaynor Faye ('Calendar Girls stage production, first ever winner of 'Dancing on Ice') :"I've Been Hiding my Light Under a Bushel"
