The message about Chaliapin briefly set out in this article will tell you about the life and work of the Russian opera and chamber singer.
Report on Fedor Chaliapin
Chaliapin Fedor Ivanovich was born on February 13 in 1873 in Kazan in a family of writers in the Zemstvo administration. Parents noticed a beautiful treble from a little boy and sent him to sing in a church choir, where he familiarized himself with the basics of musical literacy. In parallel with this, Fedor was trained in shoemaking.
The future Russian singer Fedor Chaliapin graduated from only a few elementary school classes and went to work as an assistant clerk. Once he visited the Kazan Opera House, and art captivated him. At the age of 16, the young man tries to listen to the theater, but in vain. Fedora took as an extras Serebryakov, the head of the drama collective.
Over time, he is entrusted with vocal parts. Successful performance of Zaretsky’s part (opera Eugene Onegin) brings him little success. Inspired by Chaliapin, he decides to change the collective to the musical group of Semenov-Samarsky, into which he was taken as a soloist, and leaves for Ufa.
Having gained musical experience, the singer is invited to the Little Russian wandering theater of Derkach. With him, Chaliapin toured the country. In Georgia, Fedora is noticed by D. Usatov, a vocal teacher, and takes him to his full support. The future singer not only studied with Usatov, but also worked at the local opera house, performing bass parts.
Creativity of Fedor Chaliapin
The life of Fedor Chaliapin changes in 1894, when he entered the service of the Imperial Theater in St. Petersburg. It was here that during one performance he was noticed by philanthropist Savva Mamontov, who lured Fedor to himself. Mamontov gave him freedom of choice in his theater regarding the parties he performed. He quailed the parts from the operas Life for the Tsar, Sadko, Pskovityanka, Mozart and Salieri, Khovanshchina, Boris Godunov and Mermaid.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, he appears in the Mariinsky Theater as a soloist. Together with the metropolitan theater, he toured Europe and New York. Repeatedly performed at the Moscow Bolshoi Theater.
In 1905, Fedor Chaliapin, a singer, was already a well-formed artist who performed songs that were famous at that time. He often gave the money from concerts to the workers, which earned him respect from the Soviet authorities.
After the revolution in Russia, Fedor Ivanovich was appointed head of the Mariinsky Theater and awarded the title of People's Artist of the Republic. But he managed to work in the theater field in a new position not for long. In 1922, with his family, the singer emigrated abroad and he did not perform more in Soviet Russia. The power after some time deprived him of the title of People's Artist of the Republic.
Abroad, he went on a tour of the world. After the last tour in the countries of the Far East, Fedor Ivanovich felt ill. After a medical examination in 1937, he was diagnosed with blood oncology. Doctors said that he would not live more than a year. The great singer died in April 1938 in his Paris apartment.
Fedor Chaliapin personal life
His first wife was a ballerina of Italian descent. Her name was Iola Tornagi. The couple got married in 1896. 6 children were born in the marriage - Igor, Boris, Fedor, Tatyana, Irina, Lydia. Chaliapin often went to perform in St. Petersburg, where he met Maria Valentinovna Petzold. She had two children from her first marriage. They began to meet secretly and, in fact, Fedor Ivanovich started a second family. The artist led a double life before leaving for Europe, where he took a second family. At that time, Mary gave birth to three more children - Martha, Marina and Dacia. Chaliapin later took five children from his first marriage to Paris (his son Igor died at the 4th age). Officially, the marriage of Maria and Fedor Chaliapin was registered in Paris in 1927. Although he maintained a friendly relationship with his first wife Iola, he constantly wrote letters to her about the achievements of their children. Iola herself went to Rome in the 1950s at the invitation of her son.
- The music of Fedor Chaliapin was not preserved in good quality on gramophone records. However, contemporaries note his flighty, timbre voice with pronounced tremolation.
- Fedor Chaliapin not only sang. He was fond of sculpture, painting and even starred in 2 films.
- Even in his youth, he auditioned for the choir with M. Gorky. And the team leaders gave preference to the latter. Chaliapin harbored a grudge against Gorky for life, although he did not know what his rival’s name was. Once at a meeting with the writer Fedor Ivanovich told him this story. And Gorky, laughing, said that he was that offender.
- Has his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
- He painted perfectly, as evidenced by his "Self-Portrait".
- Collected weapons.
- His second wife could not officially bear the name Chaliapin, since he was not divorced from his first wife. There have always been scandals in the Western press about this. Once, on a tour in New York, reporters blackmailed the artist, demanding $ 10,000 so that the information would not go to the people.
We hope that the report about Fedor Chaliapin helped you learn a lot of useful information about the singer. And you can leave your message about Fedor Chaliapin through the comment form below.


I can’t believe I waited this long to see Amy, this documentary is absolutely amazing. Amy tells the story of the singer songwriter Amy Winehouse, which included unseen footage and tracks of the late artist.
I love a good documentary and this was one of them. So many intimate scenes of the singer song writer, things I knew but seeing them makes me love Amy Winehouse more.
It’s hard to believe she is no longer with us on this planet, her voice and lyrics moved me in such a way, I still listen to her music. To think someone so talented could be so tortured mentally.
At certain parts in the movie, I ugly cried, at times the movie was just too hard to watch.
Her voice was like no other, she had so much soul at such a young age. Amy Winehouse had such a sense of humor and an amazing smile, it is hard to believe what she was really going through inside but I guess that is like anyone else, we all have our demons.
If you have Amazon Prime, I suggest you take 2 hours of your time to grab tissues, sit down and watch this amazing movie.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Black Sabbath boys are back, as the new band Heaven and Hell. Guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, drummer Bill Ward and singer Ronnie James Dio—former members of British metal supergroup Black Sabbath—are forming the band named after their 1980 hit, according to their publicist. They plan to launch an international tour next year.
“The fans have been wanting to see this for years and years. Now was just the time,” publicist Maureen O’Connor said Wednesday.
Original Sabbath vocalist Ozzy Osbourne said in a statement that he wished Iommi and Dio well, and he made it clear there was still only one Black Sabbath.
“Tony Iommi and Ronnie Dio are working on a project together which has nothing to do with Black Sabbath. There is only one Black Sabbath,” Osbourne said in the statement released by publicist Lathum Nelson.
“Ozzy, Tony, Geezer and Bill will be touring late next year along with a new Black Sabbath album,” Nelson said. “However, Ozzy wishes Tony and Ronnie much success in their project together.”
Since its formation in 1969, Black Sabbath has undergone numerous member changes and reunions.
Dio, who replaced Osbourne as part of the band’s early ‘80s lineup, has been recording new songs with Iommi in England, O’Connor said.

Could Be Cool...
...but then, Dehumanizer wasn't -- maybe because Bill Ward didn't play drums on that one?

For the first time in the history of the NU. FACE agency, Lukas Maverick and his team of models have agreed to be an integral part of what could be called the most controversial music video of all time! Calling for dark and edgy, artistically defiant looks inspired by the alternative scene, this production is sure to be talked about for many years to come!
Lukas Maverik™ Dressed Doll
When his favorite music video producer called to ask if the NU. Face agency could send a team of beautiful people to “S & M” (stand and model) in perhaps one of the most controversial and edgy music videos ever put on film, Lukas’ curiosity was immediately tickled. Once he found out what singer the music video was for and just how big a controversy this would create, he knew right then and there that he needed to jump back in front of the cameras and be an integral part of this experience himself, along with his favorite girls!

Beyond This Planet
Violaine Perrin™ Dressed Doll
When Véronique Perrin called her friend Lukas to announce that her youngest sister wanted to become a model, they both agreed that the budding fashionista would need to be kept in check, knowing full well that eventually, her taste for anything “edgy” would get her in trouble.
While the Perrins weren’t exactly thrilled to learn that their daughter’s first assignment would be to take part in this particular production, just seeing Violaine so happy, looking stunning and then realizing that this exposure would instantly make her a household name changed their minds. How could they say no to any of their gorgeous daughters?
Edition size: 850
Skin tone: FR White
Annik Vandale™ Dressed Doll
After a single audition, it was clear that Annik had to be picked as lead dancer for the music video; her perfect rhythm, gorgeous exotic features and unique style placed her miles ahead of the competition! So much so, that the producers decided to make her a focal point of the production by giving her several dance solos.
Those scenes quickly became some of the most talked about segments of the 10 minute long opus and from that point on, Annik became one of the most sought-after music video performers of all time!
Edition size: 950
Skin tone: Dark A-tone
Colette Duranger™ Dressed Doll
To complement her role as the young, trendy, star struck ingenue in the video’s background story line, the production’ stylists selected an ultra-vibrant look that would totally complement Colette’s warm and sensuous skin-tone, making her lovely features “glitter” like never before! Colette couldn’t be happier; the choice of wardrobe was perfect and it allowed her to feel comfortable enough to deliver a spot-on performance!
Edition size: 1200
Skin tone: Sunkissed
Dominique Makeda™ Dressed Doll
The production’s designers came up with a fun, completely out-of-the-box look that only Dominique Makeda could pull off for her part in the role of the fashionable goddess who was meant to give her blessings to the young ingenue of the story.
Full of self-confidence, Dominique opted to go off on a tangent and play her part with defiance and bravado, instead of being stoic and demure like the script called for. So much so, that the director had to call cut a few times in an attempt to reel Dominique “back-in”, begging her to stay on script. Thankfully, Dominique’s instincts paid off and her memorable performance is still talked about today

Eden Blair™ Dressed Doll

#2 – NIKE AIR YEEZY
Sneakers still certainly don’t measure up to the pop culture significance that music does, but change may be in the air. Needless to say, music and artists have a large influence on the outcome of many sneaker colorways. The closest to getting your own shoe as an artist, though only comes as close as a collab or maybe getting a custom-made pair, but we all know how successful those come out to be. For the global stardom that Kanye West has achieved, Nike could only think of one thing… his own shoe. What had the internet in a stir after some glimpses at the Grammy’s, ended up being the prelude to Nike’s first non-athlete signature shoe. Meticulous in his music and
style, Kanye spent countless hours making sure the design reflected his individuality. The number of tooling schemes and approaches to unique features showed how important this release was; not just for Kanye or Nike, but for the sneaker game in general. The Air Yeezy broke the mold, setting a new precedent for new-age high tops, and featuring progressive details including Nike’s brightest and most light-retentive glow sole to date. Debuting in three separate releases, all distinct in color scheme, exclusive stores around the world effortlessly sold out within minutes. It became the “shoe to have,” and yet even celebrities were in a frenzy, afraid of not being able to cop. The Yeezy became not just a sneaker, but an innuendo of status. Thanks Flight Club NY.


Harry Potter star Emma Watson possibly the most recent celebrity to have nude pictures “leaked” onto the internet. Taking a look at the picture, it appears legit, but her people alleged the bare-breasted picture is nothing more than computer wizardry,
Emma spokesman stated “If you look at it you will see that the head is marginally too big for the body (but clearly too big!) and the angle of the face is physically impossible with the body in that position.”
Internet website holymoly.com clams the pictures fake and they have the proof. Looks very convincing to me.You be the judge.

“Every Day and Night Now” from the forthcoming album Coast and Refuge (out June 22) is a duet with Peter Morén (Peter Bjorn and John).
After a seven-country European tour supporting Jesse Malin, he sat down with Moren in Stockholm and two wrote the song together in a former movie theater-turned-music venue. It’s a radio-friendly earworm that kicks off with finger- picked guitar and then rises to answer a mystical call, with a string quartet in tow. The song was produced by Charles Newman (AM, The Magnetic Fields, The Bones of J.R Jones). The duet had special meaning for Gruen for another reason: he played PB&J’s song “Young Folks” for his eldest daughter every night when she was an infant.

NUŠA DERENDA 20 YEARS
22 | July | 2018 / 21:15
/ Concert of popular music /
Concert of a renowned Slovenian singer of popular music dedicated to 20th anniversary of her artistic activity
At the age of two and a half, Derenda’s parents became aware of her singing talent. She always loved to sing and perform in front of an audience. Music was an integral part of her childhood. She sang in choruses, performed as a soloist, attended music school, and learned to play the accordion. Shortly before finishing primary school, Nuša joined a band of young musicians.
Although Derenda originally wanted to become a preschool teacher and work part-time in a nursery school for a year, she continued to sing with the band and traveled throughout Europe. In 1990, her band broke up and Nuša, along with her partner Frenk, established a new group. By that time they had already become professional and toured Yugoslavia, Germany, and Switzerland, and were invited to the US three times. Seven years of success and hard work followed, as their act performed up to 150 concerts in a single year. Since 1998, Derenda has mostly been working with a group called Happy Hour, with whom she records music in the studio and performs live.
In 1995, Frenk and Nuša Derenda married and started thinking about permanently settling in Slovenia. She had dreamt about making an album for some time. In 1999, she fulfilled this ambition with the CD Vzemi me veter (Take Me, Wind): a song with the same title as the CD was written by her friend, Majda Arh. This song earned Nuša first place in the Slovene TV contest Orion (November 1998). At the Slovene Pop Contest 1999 (Slovenska popevka) Nuša received the award for best singer, and at the MMS festival (Melodies of the Sea and the Sun) the second prize from the audience with the song “Boginja” (The Goddess; written by Urša and Matjaž Vlašič, and Boštjan Grabnar). The same team of songwriter helped her win the Orion 2000 contest with the song “Čez dvajset let” (In Twenty Years). This group of songwriters also accompanied her to the festival MMS 2000 (Melodies of the Sea and Sun).

Robbie was born in San Antonio, TX, raised in Sacramento, CA and currently resides in Los Angeles and New York city. Named after her father Robert, Robbie was often referred to by her full name. The rhythmical pattern of “Robbie Darby,” was fun to say and therefore memorable by many. With a personality to match, no wonder she was nominated as “Most Likely to Remember” by her high school senior class.
However despite her outgoing personality Robbie wasn’t able to flex her acting muscles in the school’s theater department. Instead she was found flexing her actual muscles as a soccer player and cheerleader. She graduated number seven in her graduating class and left her hometown to travel across the country to Atlanta’s prestigious Spelman College.
It was there where her passion for the arts trumped her athleticism. Robbie quickly found herself admiring and socializing with the theater and dance students, however was too afraid to pursue a creative path. Instead she decided to pursue an alternative path via the college’s “independent major option.”
However by her junior year unfortunate and unexpected circumstances caused her unique major to be denied. Ultimately she found herself major-less with less than a year left of college, but after reviewing her transcript discovered that due to her minor in dance she could graduate on time if she took up Drama and Dance as a major. And so it was, her performing arts love affair began. Robbie spent her final summers in college teaching dance, and studying in New York city at The Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. She graduated Cum Lade and was proudly accepted into The University of Texas, Austin’s MFA Acting program (ranked in the Top 10 of Graduate Schools for Theatre in US News & World Report).
Upon graduation she had the opportunity to tour her solo show Love and Violence: The Fusion Or Eruption to sold out audiences across the country, perform at the Alliance Theatre in the World Premiere of In The Red and Brown Water directed by Tina Landau, star in the New York revival of No Snakes In This Grass at Lincoln Center, and serve as a resident artist at The Vineyard Art Project in Bekah Brunstetter’s Off Broadway bound A Long And Happy Life.
In addition to her theater highlights Robbie also starred opposite American Idol finalist Nadia Turner in the independent film Poses, played a major role in the infamous Texas director Ya’ke Smith’s HBO award winning short film The Second Coming and even had an international debut in the Nollywood feature film Tobi.
Her commercial and print work include national ad campaigns for Lowe’s, AT&T, Shell Oil, IBM, Scott & White Hospital, CALIA by Carrie Underwood, Digicel and much more.


Cillian Murphy (born 25 May 1976) is an Irish film and theatre actor. He is often noted by critics for his chameleonic performances in diverse roles and his distinctive blue eyes.
A native of Cork, Murphy began his performing career as a rock musician. After turning down a record deal, he made his professional acting debut in the play Disco Pigs, in 1996. He went on to star in Irish and British film and stage productions throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, first coming to international attention in 2003 as the hero in the post-apocalyptic film 28 Days Later.
Murphy’s best-known roles are his part in the 2010 blockbuster Inception and as villains in two 2005 blockbusters: the Scarecrow in the superhero film Batman Begins (a role later reprised as cameos in The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises), and Jackson Rippner in the thriller Red Eye.
A resident of London since 2001, Murphy often works in or near the city, and has expressed no desire to move to Hollywood. Uncomfortable on the celebrity circuit, he customarily gives interviews about his work, but does not publicly discuss details of his private life and did not appear on a television talk show until 2010.
Early life, education, and music
Murphy was born in Douglas and raised in Ballintemple, two suburbs of Cork. His father, Brendan, works for the Irish Department of Education, and his mother is a French teacher. Not only are his parents educators, but his aunts and uncles are also teachers, as was his grandfather. Musicianship also runs in the family and Murphy started playing music and writing songs at age ten.
Murphy was raised Roman Catholic and attended the Catholic school Presentation Brothers College, where he did well academically but got into trouble often, sometimes getting suspended, until he decided in his fourth year that misbehaving was not worth the hassle. Not keen on sport, a major part of life at PBC, Murphy found that creative pursuits were not fully nurtured at the school. Still, it was there that he got his first taste of performing, when he participated in a drama module presented by Pat Kiernan, the director of the Corcadorca Theatre Company. Murphy later described the experience as a “huge high” and a “fully alive” feeling that he set out to chase. His English teacher, the poet and novelist William Wall, encouraged him to pursue acting, but, at this stage, to Murphy, performing meant dreams of becoming a rock star.
In his late teens and early twenties, Murphy worked toward a career as a rock musician, playing guitar in several bands alongside his brother Páidi. The Beatles-obsessed pair named their most successful band “The Sons of Mr. Greengenes”, after a 1969 song by another idol, Frank Zappa. Murphy sang and played guitar in the band, which he has said “specialised in wacky lyrics and endless guitar solos”. In 1996, The Sons of Mr. Greengenes were offered a five-album record deal by Acid Jazz Records, but they did not sign the contract. Because Murphy’s brother was still in secondary school, their parents disapproved. Additionally, the contract offered little money and would have ceded the rights to Murphy’s compositions to the record label.
Also in 1996, Murphy began studying law at University College Cork (UCC), but he failed his first year exams because, as he put it, he had “no ambitions to do it”. Not only was he busy with his band, but he has admitted that he knew within days after starting at UCC that law was the wrong fit for him. Furthermore, after seeing Corcadorca’s stage production of A Clockwork Orange, directed by Kiernan, acting had begun to pique his interest. His first major role was in the UCC Drama Society’s amateur production of Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme, also starring Irish American comedian, Des Bishop. Murphy also played the lead in a UCC Drama production of Little Shop of Horrors, which was performed in the Cork Opera House. However, according to Murphy, his primary motivation then was to party and meet women, not to begin an acting career. Nonetheless, he began to transition away from working as a rock musician, about which he later remarked, “I think there’s such a thing as a performance gene. If it’s in your DNA it needs to come out. For me it originally came out through music, then segued into acting and came out through there. I always needed to get up and perform.”
Murphy hounded Pat Kiernan until he got an audition at Corcadorca, and in September 1996, he made his professional acting debut on the stage, originating the part of a volatile Cork teenager in Enda Walsh’s Disco Pigs. He later observed, “I was unbelievably cocky and had nothing to lose, and it suited the part, I suppose.” Originally slated to run for three weeks in Cork, Disco Pigs ended up touring throughout Europe, Canada and Australia for two years, and Murphy left both university and his band. Though he had intended to go back to playing music, he secured representation after his first agent caught a performance of Disco Pigs, and his acting career began to take off.
From 1997 to 2003, Murphy starred in independent films, such as John Carney’s On the Edge, in short films, including the Irish/English language short Filleann an Feall, and in the BBC television miniseries adaptation of The Way We Live Now. In addition to Disco Pigs, he starred in many other plays, including Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, Neil LaBute’s The Shape of Things, and Chekhov’s The Seagull; Murphy considers this stage work to have been his “training ground.” Murphy also reprised his Disco Pigs role for the 2001 indie film version by Kirsten Sheridan, performing his original song “So New” over the closing credits and singing The Kinks’ “You Really Got Me” in a pub karaoke scene. During this period, he moved from Cork, relocating first to Dublin for a few years then to London in 2001.
Murphy’s onscreen performance in Disco Pigs caught the eye of director Danny Boyle when casting the lead for 28 Days Later. Released in the UK in late 2002, by the following July 28 Days Later had become a sleeper hit in America and a major success worldwide, putting Murphy before a mass audience for the first time. His performance as pandemic survivor Jim earned him nominations for Best Newcomer at the 8th Empire Awards and Breakthrough Male Performance at the 2004 MTV Movie Awards. ComingSoon.net’s review of the film said, “Cillian Murphy is a superb find… and he gives a break-out performance as a man torn apart by the new world into which he’s awakened.
In late 2003, Murphy starred as a lovelorn, hapless supermarket stocker who plots a bank heist with Colin Farrell in Intermission, which became the highest-grossing Irish independent film in Irish box office history (until The Wind That Shakes the Barley broke the record in 2006). Murphy also appeared in supporting roles in his first Hollywood films, Cold Mountain and Girl with a Pearl Earring. For the latter film, he learned to chop meat in an abattoir to prepare for his role as a butcher, even though he is a vegetarian. In 2004, he toured Ireland in the titular role of The Playboy of the Western World, a Druid Theatre Company production under the direction of Garry Hynes, who had previously directed Murphy in Seán O’Casey’s Juno and the Paycock and John Murphy’s The Country Boy, also for Druid.
2005 was the year that Cillian Murphy won wider recognition, first for two high-profile villain roles: Dr. Jonathan Crane in Batman Begins, and Jackson Rippner in the thriller Red Eye. Originally asked to audition for the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman in Batman Begins, Murphy never saw himself as having the right physique for the superhero but leapt at the chance to connect with director Christopher Nolan. Though the lead went to Christian Bale, Nolan was so impressed with Murphy that he gave him the supporting role of Dr. Crane, whose alter ego is supervillain Scarecrow. Nolan told Spin, “He has the most extraordinary eyes, and I kept trying to invent excuses for him to take his glasses off in close-ups.” In Wes Craven’s Red Eye, Murphy starred as an operative in an assassination plot who terrorises Rachel McAdams on an overnight flight. New York Times film critic Manohla Dargis asserted that Murphy made “a picture-perfect villain” and that his “baby blues look cold enough to freeze water and his wolfish leer suggests its own terrors.”
Murphy received several awards nominations for his 2005 bad guy turns, among them a nomination as Best Villain at the 2006 MTV Movie Awards for Batman Begins. Entertainment Weekly ranked him among its 2005 “Summer MVPs”, a cover story list of ten entertainers with outstanding breakthrough performances. The New Yorker’s David Denby wrote, “Cillian Murphy, who has angelic looks that can turn sinister, is one of the most elegantly seductive monsters in recent movies.”
In late 2005 (early 2006 in Europe), Murphy starred as Patrick/”Kitten” Braden, a transgender Irish foundling in search of her mother, in Neil Jordan’s dramedy Breakfast on Pluto, based on the novel of the same title by Patrick McCabe. Murphy had auditioned for the role in 2001, and though Jordan liked him for the part, The Crying Game director was hesitant to revisit transgender and I.R.A. issues. For several years, Murphy lobbied Jordan to make the film before the actor became too old to play the part. In 2004, Murphy prepared for the role by meeting with a transvestite who dressed him and took him clubbing with other transvestites. Taking notice of the group’s quick wit, Murphy attributed it to their constantly having to respond to insults from prejudiced people around them.
Against Breakfast on Pluto’s kaleidoscopic backdrop of 1970s glitter rock fashion, magic shows, red light districts and I.R.A. violence, Murphy transforms from androgynous teen to high drag blond bombshell. The San Francisco Chronicle’s Ruthe Stein said of his performance, “Murphy projects enormous energy onscreen, as he’s already shown in 28 Days Later and Red Eye. He’s supremely well cast as the androgynous Kitten … [and] smoothly makes the transition from broad comedy to drama. He delivers Kitten’s favourite line, ‘Oh serious, serious, serious!’ with the full implications of its dual meaning.” While even lukewarm reviews of Breakfast on Pluto still tended to praise Murphy’s performance highly, a few critics dissented: The Village Voice, which panned the film, found him “unconvincing” and overly cute.
Murphy was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for Breakfast on Pluto and won the Irish Film and Television Academy Best Actor Award. Premiere cited his performance as Kitten in their “The 24 Finest Performances of 2005” feature. All three of his 2005 performances were honoured by Entertainment Weekly, when they included him in their “Great Performances of 2005” year-end issue. A late 2005 Back Stage feature labelled Murphy “a chameleonic performer, a character actor trapped in a leading man’s bone structure.”
In 2006 (2007 in North America), he starred in Ken Loach’s film about the Irish War of Independence and Civil War, The Wind That Shakes the Barley, which won the Palme d’Or at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival and became the most successful Irish independent film at the Irish box office. Loach, a social realist who shoots films in sequence, is strict about casting actors from the areas where his films are set, rarely casting well-known faces. Because the film was set in Cork, Murphy was given a chance at the role of Damien O’Donovan, a young doctor turned revolutionary, but he had to audition six times before winning the part. Murphy’s family goes back in Cork for many generations; during the time period in which The Wind That Shakes the Barley is set, his grandfather was shot at by British soldiers for playing Irish music.
Critic Denby described Murphy’s approach to the part of Damien: “Murphy is normally very quiet in movies; he has attained his mystique as an actor by staring at people with baby-blue eyes. In this film, too, he has, at times, a deep stillness, but he has idiosyncratic moments as well, such as when Damien has to execute a teenager who has ratted on the I.R.A. Murphy, writhing, shoots the boy and stumbles away, nausea struggling against duty.” Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times wrote, “Murphy is especially good at playing the zealotry as well as the soul-searching and the regret, at showing us a man who is eaten up alive because he’s forced to act in ways that are contrary to his background and his training.” Scotland on Sunday commented, “Cillian Murphy exudes a doe-eyed sensitivity that is central to our emotional involvement in the character’s development. He is not a macho figure itching for a fight, but a man of peace, reluctantly drawn to the use of force. When he makes a commitment to Irish independence, it is unyielding and entirely believable.” GQ UK presented Murphy with their 2006 Actor of the Year award for his work in The Wind That Shakes the Barley.
Murphy returned to the stage from November 2006 to February 2007 in the lead role of John Kolvenbach’s play Love Song, opposite Neve Campbell, in London’s West End. In April 2007 (July in North America), he starred onscreen as a physicist-astronaut charged with re-igniting the sun in the science fiction movie Sunshine, which re-teamed him with director Danny Boyle. Murphy appeared opposite Lucy Liu in Paul Soter’s romantic comedy Watching the Detectives; the indie film premiered at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival and was then released straight to DVD. In 2008, Murphy made a brief reappearance as the Scarecrow in The Dark Knight, the sequel to Batman Begins. He also starred in The Edge of Love, a love quadrangle/biographical film with Keira Knightley, Sienna Miller and Matthew Rhys, as William Killick. Murphy also made a debut appearance in another medium – on a postage stamp: in July 2008, the Irish Post Office, An Post, released a series of four stamps paying homage to the creativity of films recently produced in Ireland, including one featuring Murphy in a still from The Wind That Shakes the Barley.
In 2009, Cillian starred in The Water, directed by rock musician Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene, and starring Murphy, rock musician Feist and actor David Fox, which was released online in April. The 15-minute Canadian short film is nearly silent until the Feist song of the same title plays close to the end. Murphy also starred in Perrier’s Bounty, a crime dramedy from the makers of Intermission, in which he portrayed a petty criminal on the run from a gangster played by Brendan Gleeson. Perrier’s Bounty premiered at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival in September 2009 and had a limited release in 2010. In Peacock, a psychological thriller, Murphy starred as a man with a split personality who fools people into believing he is also his own wife, alongside Ellen Page. In late 2011 Murphy expressed a keen interest in working with Christopher Nolan on a more frequent basis, reportedly sending various audition tapes, soundbites and resumés to the directors London Home. Peacock was released straight to DVD in early 2010. The several years’ delayed biopic Hippie Hippie Shake shot in 2007, stars Murphy (again alongside Sienna Miller) as Richard Neville, editor of the psychedelic radical underground magazine Oz, which, in 1971, was at the centre of what was then the longest obscenity trial in British history. In a sign of trouble, the director and screenwriter walked off the production in mid-2009. In contrast to his delayed projects, Murphy was a part of the acclaimed ensemble cast of Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster Inception, with Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page and Joseph Gordon-Levitt; the film was released in July 2010. He also made an uncredited cameo appearance in Tron: Legacy, released in December 2010, as programmer Edward Dillinger Jr, son of original Tron antagonist Ed Dillinger (David Warner). In 2012, Murphy reprised his role as the Scarecrow for the third and final time in The Dark Knight Rises.
Murphy has a few new screen roles scheduled for production. He will star in the adaptation of the Irish metafictional novel At Swim-Two-Birds by Flann O’Brien, alongside Colin Farrell, Gabriel Byrne, and Brendan Gleeson (who will also direct). He was also signed to star in Dalí & I: The Surreal Story, though it was put on hold when a possible actor’s strike loomed. Salvador Dalí will be portrayed by Al Pacino, an actor with whom Murphy has said he hoped to work, having credited a teenage viewing of Pacino in 1973’s Scarecrow (his favourite film) as awakening him to the potential power of film acting.
As for future roles, Murphy has long wanted to portray a cowboy in a Western, because as a child, he enjoyed watching John Wayne movies with his father. In 2005, he commented that he would like to play the jazz musician Chet Baker. Murphy would like to work with director Michel Gondry someday; among the actors he hopes to work with are Johnny Depp, Meryl Streep, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. He also admires Jeff Bridges, Sean Penn, Edward Norton, and Joaquin Phoenix. Not wishing to be typecast or repeat himself, Murphy commented in 2006 that he did not want to play any more villains. Although he does not want to move to Los Angeles because of the cultural differences and distance from his family, Murphy has said he feels it is both wise and artistically worthwhile for him to make both big Hollywood pictures and smaller independent films.
In mid-2004, Murphy married his long-time live-in girlfriend, Yvonne McGuinness, an artist whom he met in 1996 at one of his rock band’s shows. The couple live in North West London with their two sons, Malachy (born in 2005) and Carrick (born in 2007). Murphy is known for being reluctant to speak about his personal life. He frequently gives interviews about his work but did not appear on any live TV chat shows until 2010, when he was a guest on The Late Late Show on Ireland’s RTÉ to promote Perrier’s Bounty yet remained politely reserved. He does not have a stylist or a personal publicist, travels without an entourage, and often attends premieres alone. Shy and private, Murphy professes a lack of interest in the celebrity scene, finding the red-carpet experience “a challenge and not one I want to overcome”. He intentionally practices a lifestyle that will not interest the tabloids: “I haven’t created any controversy, I don’t sleep around, I don’t go and fall down drunk”. Murphy is friends with fellow Irish actors Colin Farrell and Liam Neeson, looking up to the latter like a “surrogate movie dad.” But primarily, Murphy’s close friendships are those he made before becoming a star.
Music is still an important part of Murphy’s life. In 2004, he said, “The only extravagant thing about my lifestyle is my stereo system, buying music and going to gigs”. He no longer plays in a rock band, but regularly plays music with friends and on his own, and still writes songs. Murphy does not plan to start another band: “Even if I was good, the very notion of being an actor with a rock band on the side would mean I’d never be taken seriously”. Murphy is also a dedicated runner.
Murphy, previously an agnostic, became an atheist after researching his role as a nuclear physicist/astronaut in the science fiction film Sunshine.
He is a long-time vegetarian, not due to any moral objection to the killing of animals, but because of qualms about unhealthy agribusiness practices. Murphy participated in the 2007 Rock the Vote Ireland campaign targeting young voters for the general election. He has also campaigned for the rights of the homeless with the organisation Focus Ireland.
In February 2012, Murphy wrote a message of support to the former Vita Cortex workers involved in a sit-in at their plant, congratulating them for “highlighting [what] is hugely important to us all as a nation”.


An abashed Mike Gallagher appeared today on “America Live with Megyn Kelly” to (sort of) defend the remarks he made earlier this summer about Kelly’s three-month-long maternity leave. Back then, Gallagher called such a luxurious leave “a racket.”
Today, once again in the host’s chair after the birth of her second child, daughter Yardley, four months, everybody’s favorite Fox anchor appeared keen to elicit a retraction from the radio host. She all but got it.
Gallagher shamefacedly muttered several unintelligible excuses — including a half-hearted hint that he had hoped the comment wouldn’t make it through the grapevine to the great Kelly herself — before saying (one hopes jokingly!), “I’d been drinking.”
“Now you’re more along the path of what I expected,” Kelly quipped back to the man she assured viewers is, in fact, her friend.
But the power mom didn’t let Gallagher off the hook that easily.
“What is it about getting pregnant and carrying a baby for nine months and giving birth to a child that you think doesn’t deserve a little time for bonding and recovery?” she asked, after asserting at the outset of the interview that Gallagher’s comment was a “moronic thing to say.”
Gallagher really had no words. As the interview faded out, he could be heard stating frankly, “I’m sorry,” before welcoming Kelly back to Fox’s dayside.
He wasn’t the only person glad Kelly is back to revive the program that bears her name. Numerous fans on social media sites happily sounded off about Kelly’s new haircut and celebrated her return to Fox.

There were more than a few famous faces in the crowd at Nassau Coliseum on Thursday.
Actor Ralph Macchio and comedian Jimmy Fallon took in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Semifinal between the New York Islanders and Tampa Bay Lightning.
Macchio, who reprised his role as Daniel LaRusso in the wildly successful series “Cobra Kai,” is a lifelong Islanders fan and native of Long Island.
Fallon, host of “The Tonight Show” is more known for attending New York Rangers games, but it seems he made an exception for the Islanders in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. He also recently roasted some NHL player pictures on his show.
A group of New York Jets were also in the house for the game. Many of the same faces attended Stanley Cup Second Round games at the Coliseum.
And what would a playoff atmosphere be without the latest couple from “The Bachelor,” Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell?
James, a native of Raleigh, N.C., rang the siren before Game 5 of the Carolina Hurricanes Stanley Cup Second Round series against the Lightning.
The Hurricanes seemed a little heartbroken on Twitter.
But as the saying goes, all is fair in love and playoff hockey.

"Down in Mexico" by Los Angeles' early rock & roll, rythm & blues, and doo-wop pioneers The Coasters states exactly where it's at in this week's Los Hermanos. What better kick off than the widely recognized father of "Chicano Music": Lalo Guerrero. Born in Tucson, Arizona, one of 21 siblings (although only nine survived), Guerrero left his hometown to pursue his dream in music. His first American hit was "Pancho López", a parody of the popular 1950s hit "The Ballad of David Crocket". The song was popular in both Spanish and Enlish. However, due to criticism Guerrero received over this song, he never performed it publicly, not wanting to contribute to an inappropriate stereotype. Guerrero went on to record several more parody songs, including "Tacos For Two" (to the tune of "Cocktails For Two"), and "There's No Tortillas" (to the tune of "O Sole Mio"). His "Marihuana Boogie" - supposedly being their main source of occupation, neatly brings us to the youngsters of the fifties and sixties garage scene of Mexico city with groups as Los Monstruos and supersecos. Mexican rock and roll band The Johnny Jets, also characterized by their go-go style ballads and boleros are original from the region of Tamaulipas.
Juan García Esquivel was also born in Tampico, Tamaulipas. In 1928 his family moved to Mexico City. Esquivel is considered the king of a style of late 1950s-early 1960s quirky instrumental pop with many, instantly recognizable, jazz-like elements. However, other than his piano solos, there is no improvisation, and the works are tightly, meticulously arranged by Esquivel himself, who considered himself a perfectionist as a composer, performer, and recording artist. Which must have been exactly how Mingus pictured himself when he recorded the 1957 masterpiece "Tijuana Moods", a probable source of inspiration for Mexican jazz master Tino Contreras who for five decades and counting has melded Latin influences with free jazz, psychedelia, avant-garde experimentation, and global sounds from Egypt, India, Turkey, and elsewhere.
Chavela Vargas was born in Costa Rica. She went to Mexico in search of musical career opportunities at the age of 14. In her youth, she dressed as a man, smoked cigars, drank heavily, and carried a gun. She sang in the streets as a teenager until she ventured into a professional career in the 1930s. Her first album, Noche de Bohemia (Bohemian Night), was released in 1961 with the professional support of José Alfredo Jiménez. Vargas recorded over eighty albums since then. She partly retired in the late 1970s due to a 15 year-long battle with alcoholism. At 81 years old, she publicly declared that she was a lesbian. She is featured in many Almodóvar's films and also appeared in Iñàrritu's "Babel".
Ana Tijoux became famous in Latin America as the female MC of hip-hop group Makiza during the late 1990s. She gained more widespread recognition following her second solo album, "1977".

One day in August 2021, Zhao Wei disappeared. For one of China’s best-known actresses to physically vanish from public view would have been enough to cause a stir on its own. But Zhao’s disappearing act was far more thorough: overnight, she was erased from the internet. Her Weibo social media page, with its 86 million followers, went offline, as did fan sites dedicated to her. Searches for her many films and television shows returned no results on streaming sites. Zhao’s name was scrubbed from the credits of projects she had appeared in or directed, replaced with a blank space. Online discussions uttering her name were censored. Suddenly, little trace remained that the 45-year-old celebrity had ever existed.

Conway Twitty (born Harold Lloyd Jenkins, September 1, 1933 â€“ June 5, 1993) was one of the United States' most successful country music artists during the 20th century. Most commonly thought of as a country music singer, he also enjoyed success in early Rock and Roll, R "
Conway Twitty was born Harold Lloyd Jenkins on September 1, 1933 in Friars Point, Mississippi.
Jenkins was named by his great uncle after his favorite silent movie actor, Harold Lloyd. The Jenkins family moved to Helena, Arkansas (now known as Helena-West Helena, Arkansas) when Jenkins was 10 years of age, and it was in Helena that Jenkins put together his first singing group, the Phillips County Ramblers.
Two years later, he had his own local radio show every Saturday morning. Jenkins also practiced his second passion, baseball. He received an offer to play with the Philadelphia Phillies after high school, but he was drafted into the Army, which effectively put an end to that dream.
After his discharge from the Army, Jenkins again pursued a music career. After hearing Elvis Presley's song, "Mystery Train", he began writing rock 'n' roll material. As a matter of course, he headed for the Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee and worked with Sam Phillips, owner and founder of Sun Studios, to get the "right" sound.
Jenkins felt that his real name wasn't marketable, and he changed his show business name in 1957. (Harold Lloyd Jenkins remained his legal name.) Looking at a road map, he spotted Conway, Arkansas, and Twitty, Texas. Thus, he went with the professional name of "Conway Twitty".
Alternatively, Jenkins met a Richmond, VA, man named W. Conway Twitty Jr. through Jenkins' manager in a New York City restaurant. The manager served in the army with the real Conway Twitty. Later, the manager suggested to Jenkins that he take the name as his stage name because it had a ring to it. The Richmond Conway Twitty subsequently recorded the song, "What's in a Name But Trouble," in the mid-1960s, lamenting the loss of his name to Jenkins.
There are also rumors that the country artist had lovers in Conway, Arkansas, as well as Twitty, Texas. His stage name was a constant reminder of their love while he was away.
"It's Only Make Believe" was recorded in 1958 and became the first of nine Top 40 hits for Twitty,only making it to number 2 selling eight million copies. The song was written between sets by Conway and drummer Jack Nance when they were in Hamilton, Ontario playing at the Flamingo Lounge.
Twitty's fortunes changed in 1958, while he was with MGM Records. An Ohio radio station did not play "I'll Try", an MGM single that went basically nowhere in terms of sales, radio play, and jukebox play, instead playing the "B side" of the single. The B side was a song called "It's Only Make Believe". It was popular in Ohio, and gradually became popular throughout the country, as well.
For a brief period in Twitty's music career, some believed that he was Elvis Presley recording under a different name. This was largely the case with "It's Only Make Believe." The record took nearly one year in all to reach and stay at the top spot of the charts. The song went on to sell over 8 million records and to No. 1 on the Billboard pop music charts in the U.S. as well as No. 1 in 21 different nations.
Twitty would go on to enjoy rock-n-roll success with a song like "Danny Boy" (Pop No. 10) and "Lonely Blue Boy" (Pop No. 6). "Lonely Blue Boy" was originally titled "Danny" and was recorded by Presley for the film King Creole. It was not used in the film soundtrack.
Conway Twitty always wanted to record country music and â€” beginning in 1965 â€” he did just that. His first few country albums were met with some country DJs refusing to play them because he was well known as a rock-n-roll singer. However, he finally broke free with his first top five country hit, "The Image of Me," in July 1968, ensued by his first number one country song, "Next In Line," in November 1968.
In 1970, Conway recorded and released his biggest hit ever, "Hello Darlin'" (which spent four weeks at the top of the country chart).
In 1971 he released his first hit duet with Loretta Lynn, "After the Fire Is Gone". It was a success, and many more followed, including "Lead Me On" (1971), "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" (1973), "As Soon As I Hang Up the Phone" (1974), "Feelins" (1975), "I Still Believe in Waltzes", "I Can't Love You Enough" and many others. Together, Conway and Loretta (as they were known in their act), won four consecutive Country Music Association awards for vocal duo (1972-75).
In 1973, Twitty released "You've Never Been This Far Before", which was not only #1 in country for three weeks that September but also reached #22 on the pop charts. Some disc jockeys refused to play the song because of its suggestive lyrics.
In 1993, shortly before he died, he recorded a new album, Final Touches. Since his death, his son Michael and grandson Tre have been carrying on the legacy of Twitty's music.
Twitty's most recent chart appearance on the country charts was a duet with Anita Cochran, "I Want to Hear a Cheating Song" (2004). Twitty's voice was electronically created based on one of his hits from the 1980s.
On October, 2004 "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" (sung by Conway Twitty < Loretta Lynn) appeared on the popular videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, playing on fictional country music station K-ROSE.
On Family Guy episodes "Bill and Peter's Bogus Journey", "Peter's Daughter" and "The Juice Is Loose" clips of Conway Twitty performing on Hee Haw were shown, as part of the show's traditional use of non sequitur humor. In each instance, the clip is introduced by a character saying "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Conway Twitty." In the episode "The Juice Is Loose", unlike other shows featuring Conway, the entire song was played, and the entire band was shown at the start and finish. According to DVD commentary, series creator Seth MacFarlane has noted that these are his favorite non sequitur gags in the entire series.
While Twitty has been known to cover songs â€“ most notably "Slow Hand" which was a major pop hit for the Pointer Sisters â€“ his own songs have not been covered that often. However, four notable covers include George Jones' rendition of "Hello Darlin", Blake Shelton's "Goodbye Time", The Misfits version of "It's Only Make Believe" and Elvis Presley's version of "There's A Honky Tonk Angel". In addition, Kenny Chesney's version of "I'd Love to Lay You Down" was sung and received some success, mostly in the concert realm.
Twitty married three times. After his death, his widow, Dee Henry Jenkins, and his four grown children from the previous marriages, Michael, Joni, Kathy and Jimmy Jenkins engaged in a public dispute over the estate. His will had not been updated to account for the third marriage, but Tennessee law reserves one third of any estate to the widow. After years of probate, their father's final wishes finally saw the light in the courtroom when the 4 children received the rights to his music, name and image. The rest of the estate went to a public auction and much of the property and memorabilia was held because the widow refused to accept the appraised value so therefore she demanded that everything be sold so she could get a higher amount.
In 2008, controversy again erupted in the family when the four remaining children sued Sony/ATV Music Publishing over an agreement that Twitty and his family signed in 1990. The suit alleges that the terms of the agreement were not fully understood by the children, although they were all adults at the time. It seeks to recover copyrights and royalty revenue that the document assigned to the company.
There is now a musical play about Conway's life titled, Conway Twitty, The Man, The Music, The Legend. It is a journey through the life of Conway Twitty from his early roots,to becoming a rock-n-roll teen idol to a country music legend. The story is told through the eyes of his children with two actress/singers who portray Joni and Kathy Twitty but represent all four children.
Twitty lived for many years in Hendersonville, Tennessee, just north of Nashville, where he built a country music entertainment complex called Twitty City. Its lavish displays of Christmas lights were a famous local sight. It has since been sold to the Trinity Broadcasting Network and converted to a Christian music venue in 1994. Conway Twitty and Twitty City were once featured on "Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous" with host Robin Leach. The broadcast included an interview with Conway Twitty.
Conway Twitty became ill while performing in Branson, Missouri, and was in pain while he was on the tour bus. He died in Springfield, Missouri, at Cox South Hospital from an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Twitty's success in country music was a key factor in his winning a case in U.S. Tax Court. The IRS denied Twitty's attempt to deduct from his taxes, as an "ordinary and necessary" business expense payments he had made in order to repay investors in a defunct fast-food chain called "Twitty Burger." The chain went under in 1971. The general rule is that the payment of someone else's debts is not deductible. Twitty alleged that his primary motive was "protecting his personal business reputation." The court opinion contained testimony from Twitty about his bond with country music fans.

Twitty never won a solo CMA award. By the end of his tenure at MCA in 1981, he had accumulated 32 No. 1 hits, while another 15 had reached the Top 5. He moved to Warner Bros. Records in 1982, where he had another 11 No. 1 hits. By 1987, Twitty was back at MCA where he continued to score top 10 hits until 1991.
Conway Twitty was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1999 and his pioneering contribution has been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, as well.
In 2003, Twitty was ranked #8 in CMT's 40 Greatest Men of Country Music.
1998: Hall of Fame Award
1971: Best Country Performance by a Duo
Twitty was posthumously inducted into the Delta Music Museum Hall of Fame in Ferriday, Louisiana. Another Delta inductee, Allen "Puddler" Harris, originally from Franklin Parish, was part of the Twitty Band for ten years and became its production manager.

Actor Jeremy Renner disclosed that a snow plough accident that landed him in intensive care caused him to break more than 30 bones.
The 52-year-old shared a message on social media on Saturday, claiming that the beginning of 2023 was “tragedy” for his entire family because the 6,500-kg “PistenBully” left him with “30 plus shattered bones” on New Year’s Day.
Renner, who is best known for portraying Marvel’s Hawkeye, uploaded a picture of himself getting medical attention on a bed.
In his statement, he said, “I want to thank EVERYONE for their comments and care for my family and I.
“I love and appreciate you all very much. Just as the love and bond with family and friends become stronger, these more than 30 fractured bones will heal. Regards and blessings to everyone.”
Since the mishap, the celebrity has provided frequent updates on his health. He characterised himself as “too messed up” to type in a selfie taken on January 3.
The actor lives in Reno, Nevada, and the incident took place there on a ranch.
A snow storm that pounded the region on New Year’s Eve, the day before the disaster, caused thousands of households to lose power and hundreds of highways to be closed.
The snowplough started to roll by itself as Renner tried to clear a road near Lake Tahoe for a relative’s car.
The actor was “totally crushed” by the machine, according to the 911 emergency call log, with the right side of his chest collapsing and his upper torso being crushed.
Earlier this month, he went back to his parents’ house and watched Mayor of Kingstown, the Paramount+ TV show in which he stars.

Martin Pugh, lead guitarist for Steamhammer and Armageddon, grew up in England during the 60’s and 70’s Golden Age of Rock and Roll. As a young musician, weaned on this synchronistic wave of sound that defined a generation and captured the world’s attention, Pugh began laying down his progressive, blues-and-folk-influenced roots with his first band, known as The Package Deal, who started gigging in Devon and Cornwall in the early 60’s. Martin soon moved to London and joined Carl Douglas (“Kung Fu Fighting”) & The Big Stampede for a year before joining Steamhammer. Co-caretaker of the musical vision born in Steamhammer from 1969-1974, and realized further in Armageddon, Pugh and his band mates shared studio time with Hall of Famers like Keith Relf of the Yardbirds and Ron Wood of The Rolling Stones. Martin and the band then caught the eye of blues guitar legend Freddie King, who invited Steamhammer to back him on two tours in Britain; King, who Martin cites as an enormous influence on his own personal sound: a gutsy, complex exploration of raw, wailing tones that come from creative improvisation, intuition, and aggressive finger attack. It was around this time that Rod Stewart came to watch Steamhammer at a London club, and hand-picked Martin to handle lead guitar work on The Rod Stewart Album, Stewart’s first solo record.
After blazing new trails throughout Europe with Steamhammer, Martin then moved to California and signed a deal with A&M Records, recording the Armageddon album in 1974. When Keith Relf’s sudden death dissolved the band, and with the music scene’s sharp turn away from his personal interests in the late 70’s and early 80’s, Martin decided to settle down in the quiet, rustic town of Three Rivers in Central California, with his wife and two daughters. Since that time, Pugh has immersed himself in American blues.
