    .. .... .. Dlugokecki is a musical project fronted by Ben Dlugokecki (pronounced- Der-loo-go-ken-ski) - An extraordinarily talented 27 year old prolific singer/songwriter based in Southampton, England. He is joined by Andy Wild (Keys, vocals), Boyd (Drums), Tim Jackson (Guitars), Roxanne Johns (Backing Vocals) & Aidan Hampson (Bass). Their music has been compared to the likes of David Gray, Paul Simon, Elbow and Damian Rice. .... Five of their biggest shows to date were supporting million-selling artists 'David Gray', 'Snow Patrol', 'Corinne-Bailey Rae', 'The Proclaimers' and 'Lu Lu' on their world tours, playing to thousands of people. In 2009 they played the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas also playing 2 shows in New York to great acclaim. .... They have also played alongside 'Starsailor', 'British Sea Power', 'Mouldy Peaches', Brit-award nominees 'Beth Rowley' and 'Nerina Pallot', 'The Webb Sisters', 'Ben's Brother' twice, 'Longview', 'Sandi Thom' 3 times, 'Paddy Casey', 'The Bluetones', 'Chris Difford (Squeeze)', 'Goodbooks', 'The Drifters', 'John Power (CAST/The La's)', 'Nizlopi' 3 times and the mighty 'Chesney Hawkes'. .. .... Some other highlights over the last 4 years include reaching the final 8 of the 'Sennheiser Best Unsigned Artist 2004' out of 2000 entries, playing the 2005 ASCAP showcase at the London Barfly, having their music in the i-tunes music store, being named artist of the month on the 'Musician's Channel' on Sky and his debut music video played daily. They recently won 3 regional awards for live performance at 'The Mag Awards'. ....Their music has been used on the soundtrack of Channel 4 hit show Ny-Lon, they have recorded in Metropolis Studio, London and have had a twelve-day session in Ibiza and recently had five tracks heavily featured in episodes of Channel 4's "Hollyoaks". .... In 2006, Dlugokecki released a collection of Studio Recordings called 'Before The Storm'. In 2007, The recent 'How Do You Do?' tour was a massive success - with Dlugokecki performances at the top of the Spinnaker Tower, Old Trafford, Stonehenge, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, The Ferry across the Mersey and at 3,200ft at the top of Mount Snowdon in Wales. The tour resulted in a mass media exposure - including segments on BBC Radio and BBC One News. In 2008 the band finished their mini-album 'Let this be Right' which sold 1000 copies in it's first week! In 2010 they signed their first USA publishing deal in LA. .... This year Dlugokecki celebrate their '10 years anniversary' and are releasing a Double-disc CD to commemorate this event. They will also complete and release their debut album, through independent record label 'Screech Records'. With over 30 superb songs to choose from it's going to be an enjoyable task and a great year for the band. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .......... ...... .. ........Check Out the Dlugokecki Website online now! ....HERE.. ...... ........Call C-management for Tours & Booking info -.... ....+44 (0) 7870 218 707 ............

    I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT TIME ...

    My Dear Friend Dlugokecki,

    “TIME is FREE, but it's PRICELESS.

    You can't OWN it, but you can USE it.

    You can't KEEP it, but you can SPEND it.

    ONCE YOU'VE LOST IT

    you can NEVER GET IT BACK.”

    ~ Harvey MacKay

    THE GREAT PARADOX OF TIME ~

    NONE OF US SEEM TO HAVE ENOUGH OF IT

    YET EACH OF US HAVE ALL THERE IS!

    USE YOUR TIME WISELY MY FRIEND!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Richard

    Live LIFE With A PASSION Dlugokecki!
     
       Violinist Joshua Bell

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT EMOTIONS ...

    "The question is figuring out the EMOTIONS

    of the COMPOSER, where he's COMING FROM,

    and then TAPPING INTO IT the same way an actor

    would in approaching a role."

     ~ Joshua Bell

    MUSIC BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER.  IT ALLOWS

    US TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME EMOTIONS.  PEOPLE

    EVERYWHERE ARE THE SAME IN HEART AND SPIRIT!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Richard
