Loxley head for both sides of Love Street door

Loxley Silver Band will be heading to Cornwall to help with the album launch of folk rock band Love Street.

Love Street
 

Loxley Silver Band is to travel to Cornwall this week from Sheffield to join the folk-rock band ‘Love Street’ at their ‘Both Sides of the Door’ album launch at the famous Eden Project.

Backing

Earlier in the year Loxley spent a day in Sheffield’s Red Tape recording studio with Love Street putting down the backing for their latest single, ‘Susanna’, which was released at the beginning of the month.

‘Susanna’, written by Love Street’s Jules Clark, tells the story of the Sheffield Pals Battalion and their tragic sacrifice in the First World War on 1st July 1916.

Award winning

The band engaged the services of composer Darrol Barry, to provide the backing score for the single, which was produced by the award-winning producer, George Schilling, before being sent to New York to be mastered by Greg Calibi, at Sterling Sound, who also mastered Paul Simon’s famous ‘Graceland’ LP.

‘Susanna’ has been featured on several radio stations nationwide including BBC Radio Sheffield where Andy Crane referred to Love Street as ‘…the English Eagles’.

2015 has been a very eventful year. We have celebrated our 125th anniversary, recorded our own CD ‘Impressions’, and being part of the Love Street project has been the icing on the cakeSecretary, Stuart Young

Event

Loxley’s Secretary, Stuart Young, told 4BR: “2015 has been a very eventful year. We have celebrated our 125th anniversary, recorded our own CD ‘Impressions’, and being part of the Love Street project has been the icing on the cake."

He added: “Next year we have an even greater challenge, as we will be entering the Fourth Section, which is a significant step forward.”
