Geoff Honoured In Armenia |
|
Wednesday, 07 October 2009 |
Armenia has honoured the 20th anniversary of the Rock Aid Armenia project. On October 1, Ian Gillan together with Tony Iommi, Geoff Downes and the project organiser Jon Dee arrived in Yerevan, Armenia to take part in the Armenia Grateful 2 Rock celebrations for their involvement in the 1989 remake of Deep Purple's "Smoke On The Water" and subsequent "Earthquake" compilation album.
The project raised substantial aid for the victims of the devastating Spitak earthquake of winter 1988 in which over 30,000 Armenians were killed and many more tens of thousands injured.
On October 2 they were received by the Prime Minister of the country who awarded them with the republic's Orders of Honour medals, the highest Armenian State Award that can be bestowed on foreign citizens. In addition to Gillan, Iommi, Downes and Dee, Dave Gilmour and Brian May were also decorated with the Order of Honour.
Ritchie Blackmore who also took part in Rock Aid Armenia (and as co-writer of the song with Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice & Jon Lord) was awarded 'Honorary Medal of the Prime Minister of Armenia', along with other participants including Bryan Adams, Bruce Dickinson, Roger Taylor, Alex Lifeson, Paul Rodgers, Keith Emerson & Chris Squire.
Tennis stars and former Wimbledon champions Pat Cash & John McEnroe were also awarded with honorary medals for their 1990 remake of Led Zeppelin's classic 'Rock And Roll', together with Brian Eno & Roger Daltrey.
A letter from Geoff about the experience follows.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 26, 2009
FRONTIERS RECORDS OPENS U.S. OFFICE AND SECURES NEW DISTRIBUTION DEAL
TRENTON, N.J. - Frontiers Records, Europe's premier label for melodic, progressive, and hard rock, has secured an exclusive North American distribution deal with Super D Independent Distribution (SDID).
The first four releases - Jeff Scott Soto (JSS), Jimi Jamison, Wetton/Downes Icon 3, and White Lion - will arrive on April 7, followed by several additional titles each month.
"Frontiers has built a reputation as the top label for Melodic and Progressive rock and Metal," said Bryan Mechutan, US Label Manager. "We are excited to finally have a domestic office and solid North American distribution. In addition to making titles more readily available to fans, we are looking forward opportunity to grow and expand Frontiers."
Frontiers has hired Skateboard Marketing to handle radio promotion and Mazur Public Relations for publicity.
Frontiers Records is synonymous with quality melodic music in the rock, progressive, and metal genres. With over 400 records under its belt and chart success in all the core markets of Europe and Asia, Frontiers has become the European home of rock music greats such as Asia, Journey, Styx, Toto, Night Ranger, Winger, Dokken, White Lion, and many more. With the strategic move to open a US office and ink a direct distribution deal with Super D, Frontiers is now looking to increase the success story that started 12 years ago in a small room in Naples, Italy, under the initiative of the label's President Serafino Perugino.
