Jameson Raid

I remember seeing jameson Raid many times at "The Greyhound" in Chadwell Heath, Essex on a Thurdsay night. Don't remember too much about them but they must have been good as I kept going back :) the only song I can remember is "It's a crime" - accompanied by sirens and blue flashing lights. ************************** Jameson Raid (1976 to 1982) were a fantastic live band playing really original Hard Rock music. They were later associated with the NWOBHM movement and produced one of the very best tracks from this era 'Seven Days Of Splendour'.

Keys

Keys, age 20 is the self proclaimed "threat to mediocre hip hop". Raised in the gritty streets of Baltimore, at a early age, she became enthralled with the idea of overcoming the adversities of her surroundings. She worked relentlessly in school where she tapped into her talent for writing and the arts. At the age of 13, her gift won her the opportunity to attend the Baltimore School For The Arts, the same school where successes like Tupac and Jada Pinket attended, and where she expanded upon her capabilities.
