Tour

We're had a brilliant time on the road the last couple of weeks and want to say a massive thank you to those who have been down to see us, we've been really enjoying getting to play our new material and the crowds every night have been fantastic.


Crisis Hidden Gig

We're going to be playing on Tues 2nd June as part of the Crisis Hidden Gigs series. The show takes places in London but the venue will remain a secret until 24 hours before to highlight the fact that most homeless people don't know where they'll end up sleeping each night. For tickets please visit crisis.org.uk and seetickets.com


Festival announcements

We're really pleased to confirm that we'll be playing at T in The Park, and the Indie Guitar Music Festival this summer – we're hoping to have even more festivals confirmed over the next couple of weeks. As soon as any get added to our schedule we'll put them on the starsailor.net


Phil Spector

As many of you will have seen in the news this week, Phil Spector, who produced two of the tracks on Silence is Easy has been convicted of murder.

'Recording with Phil Spector was an amazing experience at the time. I had grown up with 'Imagine' and was just getting into the brilliant 'Born To Be With You'( the album Spector produced for Dion) when we got the call. The two tracks 'Silence Is Easy' and 'White Dove' were recorded in the first week of working with him. He then returned to LA and came back to England some weeks later a different character. The out going charismatic producer we had met previously had become withdrawn and hard to communicate with. We persevered as long as we could out of respect for the man and his reputation but eventually we had to call it a day. Some weeks later while the album was being mixed we heard he had been arrested for murder. It is hard for me to pass judgement on whether he is guilty or innocent. We certainly never saw an aggresive side to him while we worked with him but like everybody else we do not know exactly what went on inside that house.'


Twitter Song

James recently posted a new acoustic song via his twitter page twitter.com/jamesstarsailor (please make this clickable) which is called Evermore. To hear the track just scroll back through James' enteries until you get to April 10.


US Release

All being well, our record will be available via itunes in the US in time for our appearance on the Jay Leno show – April 30th . We're playing at The Troubadour in LA on May 1st and there are a few tickets left. Watch this space as we're hoping to add more dates in the coming days


All The Plans

Our next single will be the album's title track 'All The Plans.' It will be available by download from June 15.



Speak soon,

Baz, James, Stel and Ben

Really enjoyed the Bristol gig earlier in the month. Great mix of the new and older stuff, though if I was to be picky, I'd have liked a couple more off the new album. Oasis cover this time, wonderful...hope Liam or Noel don't do a Jay-Z on you boys before the festivals :-).




Also loved the Marlborough acoustic set. Thanks for taking the time to talk to me after the gig, sorry for the photo...small things...

Couldn't wait for the US release, had to get it from amazon.co.uk.

Some great tracks, 'The Thames' is great fun, the title track classic Starsailor and I have a feeling I'm going to hear a lot more of 'You Never Get What you Deserve' it's a really classy ballad.

Hopefully, you'll get to do some more US gigs soon - don't forget Seattle!
