The official release date of '02/01/1978' is now set for 5th February 2007. This is because we have recently agreed and will shortly be signing, a distribution deal with Cargo Records, one of the biggest & best distributors of independent labels in the UK.
 
So, from 5th February 2007 Cargo Records will distribute Kris Dollimore's '02/01/1978' album to all the best stores across the UK and the whole of Europe. If you prefer to digitally download '02/01/1978', it will also be made available from various sources. The retail price of '02/01/1978' in these record stores will be approximately £11.99. However, before and after the official release date through Cargo Records on 5th February 2007 you will still be able to purchase '02/01/1978' from the store on this site or from any of Kris' gigs for the bargain price of £10.
 
Both Kris and I are very excited at the prospect of working with Cargo Records on the impending official release of '02/01/1978'. They were our absolute first choice of distributors and we firmly believe they will do an excellent job for all Kris Dollimore's single & album releases over the coming years.
 
Kris will be releasing a strictly limited edition 7" vinyl single in mid-January - a track from '02/01/1978' coupled with 2 unreleased numbers. Kris will also be undertaking a UK tour in Jan/Feb 2007, followed by some select European dates in Feb/Mar 2007.
 
The launch night for '02/01/1978' will be held at the 12 Bar Club, 26 Denmark Street, London, WC2 on Wednesday 7th February 2007. Admission is £6. Doors open 7:30 - 12 Bar open till 1:00. Kris will play two 45 minute sets of totally different material. Martyn Myers, our good friend from Bonanza & Resonance FM, will be guest DJ for the whole event. The 12 Bar is a great venue & it promises to be a cracking night of fantastic music, so book tickets early to avoid disappointment!! See www.12barclub.com and the gigs page for more details, closer to the date.
 
2007 looks all set to be an exciting & busy year for Kris. Thanks for your continued support.

The official release date for my debut CD 02/01/1978 is: 1st Nov 2006. It’s been a long while coming, but it’s finally here. 28 years to be precise. 02/01/1978 was my 12th birthday when I got my first guitar and the picture on the cover was taken on that day. Please go to the Biography page for more details. You can purchase a copy in advance of this date at the store here on the site.
 
This new website is also pretty big news, thanks to Nigel from Fruitbat Design for absolutely everything to do with the design of this site. A job well done, I’m sure everyone will agree.
 
I also have a full time manager working with me, in the shape of Peter Coyne - PC management petercoyne@tiscali.co.uk . Some of you might recognize the name as Peter and I were in The Godfathers together (Peter was the singer). I sent him a CD a few months back, just to see what he thought. I called him, we got talking, he loved my CD, I said I need a manager, he said he’d do it. Simple as that.
 
I couldn’t think of anyone better to do the job, I’ve always had nothing but respect for Pete, and to me, he’s more like a mentor than a manager. The results of him being at the helm are being felt already, this website being one of them. There’s many, many things in the pipeline at the moment, and I will let you know as soon as we’re 100% sure they’re gonna happen. Watch this space.
