Keri Acott

Following Wendy's decision to leave Loose Change in April, the Band are delighted to announce that a suitable replacement has now been found!

Entering, from stage right.......... KERI ACOTT!

Keri started her professional career 16 years ago as a singer/dancer travelling around the world working in Portugal, Japan and onboard cruise liners.

Since 2000 Keri has worked with pro bands as lead and backing vocalist, gigging all over the UK at varied venues and during this time has performed as supporting act for Edwin Starr and Jimmy James and the Vagabonds.

Keri is as excited as the rest of the band at the prospect of working together as Loose Change's second lead singer and rehearsals are already under way. Her debut with the band will be on the 20th June 2008 at the Fountain Hotel in Sittingbourne where Keri and Wendy are to share the gig.

As if Keri hasn't got enough to contend with at the moment, work starts on the Band's 3rd CD, "On the Road Again, with a little help from our friends" this month. Keri will be sharing vocals with Irish guest singers Susan Crosbie and Brid McKenna, Welsh singer Maria Lyn and ... of course ... Peter Day.

HOT OFF THE PRESS...
Peter Day - back again!

Many of you will have read the sad news that our lead singer Peter Day is leaving us this year. We are absolutely delighted to be able to tell you that, due to a change in his personal circumstances, a little bit of pressure from the petticoat government direction, and a little bit more from the band and followers who were unwilling to see him go,

PETE IS NO LONGER LEAVING THE BAND!

To celebrate this amazing turnaround (we celebrated last Friday too and were still suffering during the gigs on Saturday!) we have decided to release our 3rd CD. Work will commence on that soon and the album is due for release in August. There are a few surprises in store for our fans and this CD will be well worth it!
