Imaginary Friend Steve Skaith Band Steve Skaith Band - IMAGINARY FRIEND

The new Steve Skaith Band album, 'Imaginary Friend' is now released. In the end, 10 new songs made their way onto the mastered copy including 'Do without Aladdin' and 'Life', both of which Steve played solo on the last tour with Armin Pongs. During the last weeks of production, Richard Wright, ex-Latin Quarter guitarist, visited Mexico on holiday and was persuaded to play an acoustic guitar solo on the final track 'Adios for Now.' In the opinion of RadioAfrica.co.uk, Imaginary Friend is the best Steve Skaith Band Album to date even surpassing Mexile.

Twenty one years on from the release of Latin Quarter's debut album 'Modern Times,' Bob Dylan has released an album with the same title. Both Latin Quarter's songwriters, Steve Skaith and Mike Jones, are big fans of Dylans work. Mike Jones has recently had an article published on Bob Dylan which we are delighted to make available here to view and download.

Radio Africa by Latin Quarter

Latin Quarter Experience
By Ron Keefe

Way back in the eighties I co-wrote a few of the Latin Quarter songs with Steve Skaith and Mike Jones, including ‘Radio Africa’. The Latin Quarter project was a very important part of my life and, in my view, a quite unique attempt to set radical and powerful lyrics to mainstream popular music.

I first met Steve Skaith through our local Labour Party. We had both joined about the same time along with a wave of disparate socialists with the hope that the left wing shift of the Labour Party might be the start of a real fight back against Thatcherism. No, seriously, we really did believe that back then.
