CROOTS ENGLAND | RELAUNCHED WEBSITE ONLINE & SHOOTING BY JOERN POLLEX

There are some great news from CROOTS ENGLAND. Just yesterday their relaunched website went online. Respect, well done! Take a look at some screenshots or even better just visit crootsengland.co.uk, I’m sure you’ll like it. Some days before I got a lot of new pictures shot by Hamburg based photographer Joern Pollex. I picked some shots from the recently introduced and very well received full veg-tanned cowhide stuff that ages beautifully. Available at bags & luggage like the Laptop Bag or the Flight Bag as well as in small leather goods like wallets, cardholders, eyeglass and sunglass cases and sturdy belts with either brass or stainless steel buckles. For sure all proudly made in Northern Yorkshire, UK. Trade buyers can see the full new collection at Pitti Immagine Uomo in Florence 13. – 16. June or in the showroom of amtraq.com in Frankfurt. The stuff is also available online @ crootsengland.co.uk.

MY DARLING CLEMENTINE | AUTHENTIC CLASSIC COUNTRY FROM THE UK

got a mail from my buddy DR. KAI HOFFMANN with this wonderful music hint: MY DARLING CLEMENTINE from the UK. here just some reviews to their newest and second album THE RECONCILIATION?…

“This is a great album. A finely crafted all original tribute to the classic country duet” | The Guardian

”One of the most exquisitely pained American country albums of the year comes from this British couple” | New York Daily News – Top Ten Album of the week

“A baker’s dozen of originals that sound like they came straight out of the June/Johnny-Emmylou/Gram-Nancy Sinatra/Lee Hazelwood catalogs. This is as authentic as anything out of Nashville or Texas…A batch of superb C&W corkers.” | American Songwriter, USA  **** 4/5

“Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the best British country record ever!” | Duncan Warwick, Editor – Country Music People.

“Truly a great record” | Chris Hillman (The Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers)

MINI HUMMER | WHEN A HUMMER DRIVES THE GOLF COURT

found this just some minutes ago at spiegel.de when i checked the news for today. isn’t this ELECTRO HUMMER HX sweet? when GM stopped 2010 the production of the HUMMER they sold the license to china. UK based MEV owns a license too and produces this “political correct” HUMMER HX. 20 PS power, 45 km/h slow and about 30 to 50 km can be done with this shrink HUMMER. in germany not one “HUMMER-lein“ could be sold. MEV says that the most cars were shipped to the USA for the use at golf courses or big housing estates – no wonder: about 18.000 EURO must be paid for this little thing. too expensive and the electro powered engine technic is an old one. pics | TOM GRÜNWEG
