ABBEY links to the America fans website

21 March 2008

Having recorded four tracks by one of their favourite bands - America - ABBEY found that others had put their efforts onto the America fans website for all to appreciate. Pleased with feedback from their own efforts they were prompted to contact the administrator of the website and offer the ABBEY material.

The resident ‘techie’, David Flack found the appropriate contact and sent an email with the basic idea. ABBEY were very impressed with the speed of the response they received and the kind comments regarding their version of ‘The Last Unicorn’, which they had included in the email. This encouraged David to complete the ABBEY website and include a link to the America Fans website.

Section 62 plays America

After an abortive attempt to interest their buddies in Section 62 to add ‘I Need You’ and ‘Ventura Highway’ to the bands’ repertoire, ABBEY has now succeeded in agreeing with the other members to include ‘Sister Golden Hair’ and ‘Work To Do’ in the growing Section 62 playlist.

CD of original material finished

November 2008

A year in the making, the September's Here album was released in November 2008 and features 10 original compositions written and arranged by ABBEY including 'No Time For Tears', a song written in 1963 which featured regularly in the Section 62 setlist at that time.

Face In The Crowd CD

May 2009

Face In The Crowd, the follow-up album to September's Here, was completed in six months and released in April 2009. The album again features 10 original songs written and arranged by ABBEY, this time covering a range of musical styles from the techno-pop sounds on 'Keep On Waiting', through the uptempo title track 'A Face In The Crowd', to the lush orchestral backing on 'In Her Eyes'.

America Fans Website

ABBEY now has a fourth song, 'In Her Eyes' from the Face In The Crowd album on the America Fans website. The song can be found under the America Tribute Songs section.

New album recorded

November 2009

ABBEY has just completed a third CD of original material. The album, entitled Waiting For The Day, is an 11-track CD written, arranged and recorded by the duo.

Sixth album completed

July 2010

ABBEY has just completed a fourth CD of original material. The album is entitled Children Of The 60’s, and reflects their personal views of growing up in the 1960’s.

Charitable collaboration

July 2010

ABBEY has worked with eight un-signed bands from around the world on a nineteen track CD on sale to raise funds to help the people of Haiti recover from the recent earthquake disaster. Since all the bands are fans of America, the tracks are both covers and original material by each of them. ABBEY contributed their original song, Don’t Go, a cover of The Last Unicorn and vocals towards a joint recording of the Gerry Beckley song Kiss Of Life.
