I've always had a lifelong love affair with Rock n' Roll music, it was good ole' Rock n' Roll that made me want to play the electric guitar in the hope of becoming rich and famous and having loads of girlfriends. After 30 years I'm still waiting but I've had so much fun trying to get there. Listening to those old records even now, they still have the magic and excitement which can never be duplicated even in this hi-tech digital age. Elvis, Chuck Berry, Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis had nothing to call upon except the sounds of Gospel, Blues and Country music. These young men mixed it up into what we now know and without realizing it, created the sounds that evolved into today's music.

Jerry Lee Lewis was always one of my favorites and when I was offered the option of booking 'The Killer's' lil' sister for Rockin's tour of Holland in the spring of 2011, I grabbed it with both hands. Linda's performance bowled over the Dutch audiences in every theatre and I found her to be not only a world class performer but also such pleasant lady to just sit and chat and along with her daughter Annie, we became personal friends. She told me stories of her early life, growing up with not a lot and suddenly having everything the family needed. It was indeed a rags to riches story. I learned that Linda and Annie had never done a full theatre tour in the UK so I asked if she would be our guest in Rockin' for a month. I'm glad to say she agreed so here we are ready to go. I'm sure it going to be a lot of fun and I'm really looking forward to it as are everyone else involved.

Hope to see a lot of you born again rockers at the shows. Its gonna be a blast :-)

Keep on Rockin'

John H
