TOUCHSTONE MEDIA are proud to announce the eagerly anticipated release of ‘IN MY LIFE’ a debut studio album by the former ‘Bucks Fizz’ star and ‘Eurovision Song Contest Winner’ MIKE NOLAN.

In late 2012 MIKE, without the crutch of his ‘Fizz’ band mates of thirty years, took his first solo steps into an Essex recording studio to record ‘IN MY LIFE’ the most poignant album of his career.

The results speak for themselves – a relevant and contemporary collection of 70’s influenced emotional and moving classics  – tracks that helped MIKE regain his memory and give him strength to fight back after the 1984 coach crash which nearly ended his life.

The effects of the crash were to remain with MIKE for years after leaving him even to this day with short-term memory loss and impaired vision.  Ever since the one constant in MIKE’s life was the music that steered him through his life journey and which gave him hope that one day he would fulfill his ambition of recording a solo album.

IN MY LIFE is that album – a dramatic and emotive 14-track collection of songs that have meant the most to MIKE from recovery to now.  With this album MIKE celebrates life and pays homage to a collection of artists and songs, which today sound as current and influential as ever.

The track listing for ‘IN MY LIFE’ is as follows:

1) DESPERADO

2) CAN’T TAKE MY EYES OF YOU

3) ALONE AGAIN (NATURALLY)

4) ELUSIVE BUTTERFLIE

5) I MADE IT THROUGH THE RAIN

6) NEVER LET HER SLIP AWAY

7) EVERYTHING I OWN

8) EVERLASTING LOVE

9) WHEN YOU WERE SWEET SIXTEEN

10) STUCK IN THE MIDDLE

11) YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND

12) WICHITA LINEMAN

13) YOU GOT IT

14) IN MY LIFE

Mike Nolan and Bucks Fizz won the Eurovision song contest back in 1981 with the iconic Making Your Mind Up.  Nolan continues to perform with original band members Cheryl Baker and Jay Aston.  Last year the Original Bucks Fizz, now known as OBF, released their first new material in over 20 years.  Bucks Fizz were one of the biggest bands of the 80’s with a string of top 10 hits including: The Land of Make Believe, My Camera Never Lies, Piece of the Action and Run for your Life – to name but a few.

Mike intends to tour the album later on this year.

This year’s Eurovision Song Contest takes place in SWEDEN on 18^th May 2013.

THE JUDAS CROSS – is available on KINDLE now.  A sexually explicit thriller, which will appeal to the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ generation of reader.  A page turning psycho thriller set in a 1920′s English village awash with vintage characters and dark secrets. Murder, incest and a clash between unseen forces of good and evil centre on a young couple and those whose lives they touch.  Against a backdrop of pastoral innocence, scenes of sex and death unfold as an ancient curse is finally confronted and redeemed.  Trust me this will be the best £1.87 you will ever spend!  BUY NOW

First published in 1995, this political thriller is a prophetic political yarn of the sleaze years. A cabinet minister is found strangled in a West End hotel room; the apparent victim of some perverted sex act gone wrong. Before an investigation can get under way, the Prime Minister and his closest colleagues organise a cover up—having recently been elected with a narrow majority, the last thing they need is a scandal. But the dead minister’s daughter is not satisfied, and persuades her journalist boyfriend that something does not add up. Was it a sexual mishap, or was it murder? Their investigation uncovers a web of corruption reaching right to the top of Government, triggering political catastrophe on an unprecedented scale.

KAREN RUIMY PROFILE

“From flamenco dancer to human rights campaigner – Ruimy is a without doubt an author of our time – providing a beacon of hope to others who want to find inner peace”

___________

If ever proof was needed that a woman can do anything she puts her mind to – KAREN RUIMY is it!

Here is an author who quit the floors of the stock market for those of the dance floor and in doing so took strength in following her dream to perform, dance and write.

Unlike many who are trapped spiritually and emotionally, Karen had the courage to seek out her inner creative and artistic spirit and in  ‘The Voice of The Angel” she shares her own life mantras that guided and directed her in times of challenge and disappear.  Helping her to once again rise to the top – but this time in a profession and ‘space’ where she was in control and was content and liberated.

The Voice of the Angel published by Quartet is a handy guide of her personal, philosophical and spiritual ‘sayings’ enhanced with illustrative imagery offering people everywhere a manual to follow their heart, visualize their personal and professional future and ultimately realize their dreams.

‘The Voice of The Angel’, Karen’s second book, is designed as a practical ‘life manual’ for people to gain spiritual happiness and fulfillment.  Over 144 pages Karen hopes to inspire people – stuck in dead end jobs, which are prisoners in relationships or spiritually bankrupt to take control and to live more fulfilling and meaningful lives.

Karen was born in Morocco, before at an early age moving Paris.  Growing up was tough for Karen and yet laid the foundations for her deeply spiritual and creative thinking.  She realized at an early age that ‘when you are different you fight twice as hard’.  A mantra, which has stuck with her to this day and underpins the sayings in ‘The Voice of The Angel’,

After much soul searching she took the courageous decision to change careers and follow a very different path – devoting herself to her spiritual calling and passion that of writing and ‘dance’.

Since following her dream, Karen has gone on to perform, direct and produce flamenco in some of the most prestigious venues in London and Paris.  In 2008 she presented ‘Flamenco Nueva’ for two sell-out seasons at the ‘Casino de Paris’ and the ‘Folies Bergère.’ Then came a show at the Lyric Theatre in 2010, directed by BBC TV’s Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood.

Today Karen is a multi-talented author, songwriter, performer and champion of good causes.  She has critical acclaim for her work and this summer sees: the release of a crossover chill out album with leading producer Youth and a series of high anticipated live performances at London’s Riverside Studios. .

Karen published her first book The Angel’s Metamorphosis in 2010.  The book was a study of her quest for spiritual fulfillment.

At 14 years old she was in pantomime in the Sherman Theatre she had to perform 7 performances a week. She was working with professional dancers and actors and learnt early on that, no matter what the show must go on.

At 15 she was in a group called Beaus Bohemians this is where she had her first taste of fame she was asked to perform at Hyde Park and she performed alongside Curiosity Killed the cat, and Pepsi and Shirley. READ MORE
