When You're Not Here Tonight

The extremely moving story of Dame Deborah James has touched the nation.

Her journey has been incredibly difficult and she has faced it head on with grace, dignity and a huge smile.

When You're Not Here Tonight is a song especially written by Daz Shields and songwriter, arranger and producer David Mackay for Dame Deborah.

All proceeds from the song will go directly to the Bowelbabe Fund.

​

Please have a listen to the track. Even if you don't purchase the track when it becomes available, if you are touched by her story as I am, please donate any money to the fund raising page below.

Daz Shields is very proud to be one of the drummers who performs on the forth coming album from Bonnie Tyler - Between The Earth and the Stars, released on March 22nd 2019, along with Bob Jenkins, Leon Cave, Alex Toff and Stuart Emerson.

​

Between the Earth and the Stars began its journey in 2016. The album was completed in London in 2018 with David Mackay.

‘Between The Earth And The Stars’ is a triumph. Reasserting herself with this bold statement of intent, Bonnie Tyler proves that her voice is just as potent as ever. With Rod Stewart, Barry Gibb, Cliff Richard and Francis Rossi providing yet more star power, this album is just what Bonnie’s fans have been holding out for...

New tracks include ‘Seven Waves Away’, ‘Older’ and the title track, as well as duets with Rod Stewart and Francis Rossi.

BETWEEN THE EARTH AND THE STARS - Bonnie Tyler 2019

Bonnie Tyler will release a brand new studio album ‘Between The Earth And The Stars’ in March 2019 through earMUSIC / Edel. Marking no less than the complete reinvention of a wonderful and much loved talent this - her 17th studio album - is a collection of brand new recordings.

As befits an artist of Bonnie’s undoubted stature, ‘Between The Earth And The Stars’ also features collaborations and contributions from some of her fellow musical legends including Francis Rossi on ‘Someone’s Rockin' Your Heart’. The album boasts three knights of the realm with Sir Rod Stewart duetting on ‘Battle of the Sexes’, Sir Cliff Richard on ‘Taking Control’ and Sir Barry Gibb penning ‘Seven Waves Away’.


The album also includes ‘Older’, ‘Bad For Loving You’ and ‘To The Moon and Back’, three tracks written specifically for Bonnie by Amy Wadge, who wrote mega-hit ‘Thinking Out Loud’ with Ed Sheeran and has worked with Camila Cabello and many more. The album sees her reunited with David Mackay, who produced Bonnie’s first two albums.

Bonnie said of the album, “I started singing in April 1969 and worked 6 nights a week for 7 years before being discovered by a talent scout named Roger Bell. He came to Wales from London to listen to a male singer he had been told about, but there were two floors in the night club and as he walked in he heard me singing instead! That was the beginning of my wonderful journey. I’ve performed all over the world, and still love hitting the stage and entertaining my fantastic fans.

The time was right however to get back into the studio but I knew that, to mark 50 years of performing, I had to deliver something really special. I’ve done just that! The new material is sounding amazing.”


‘Between The Earth And The Stars’ is more than just a return to form for the singer known everywhere for her genre-defining hits. Her calling cards are the global number one smash ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’, but also of course ‘Holding Out For A Hero’. She received a Guinness World Record for ‘Faster Than The Speed of Night’ album which saw her become the first British female to debut at number one on the UK Albums Chart; the album went platinum in the US.

Over and above these tracks that made her a household name, she has proved her versatility by enjoying a bilingual number one album in France, releasing Country tracks and performing duets – notably with artists as diverse as Todd Rundgren and Shakin’ Stevens. This new album keeps a link to her past with ‘Hold On’ penned by Kevin Dunne, the bassist in her 70s band, who was a big part of Bonnie reconnecting with David MacKay and creating ‘Between The Earth And The Stars’. Songs also came from Stuart Emerson and Chris Norman; the latter penning the Rod Stewart duet.

Daz Shields is one of the drummers who recently performed on Eve Graham's new album 'A Matter Of Time' produced by the legendry David Mackay.

Daz is very humbled to be alongside such other drummers on this album such as Bob Jenkins, Chris Dennison and Henry Spinetti.

​

 

Eve Graham is equally at home, whether singing Contemporary Rock, Pop or Country Music. On this album she teams up, once again, with producer David Mackay, who crafted Eve's original hits with the New Seekers. Together they have chosen songs from some of the world's most prolific songwriters and included songs from new writer friends in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, the UK and Australia. There's also a sprinkling of Eve's celtic heritage and a contribution from the former piper to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The result is an album, refreshing in its diversity, yet with a definite lean towards a country theme, all bound together by Eve's unmistakable voice and her power to entertain.
