I heard this live on the radio today. This morning at 7:15am HST, Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac fame called into Hawaii's own Perry and Price show (KSSK FM) and talked about the upcoming Diamond Head Crater Festival.
The big news here is that local musicians and entertainers are in Mick Fleetwood's band! Fleetwood has recruited the talents of Willie K. (Uncle Willie), Eric Gilliom (HAPA), Raiatea Helm, Lenny Thesolonius, Rick Vito (John Mayall, Fleetwood Mac), and Lopaka Colon (Pure Heart, Colon). Fleetwood is dubbing the band Island Rumours perhaps a play on the best selling Fleetwood Mac album Rumours.
Mick Fleetwood had nothing but nice things to say about the cast of his new band and he feels they each can hang with the mainland pros. We can't wait to hear more about what this lineup of musicians will be playing at the Diamond Head Crater Fest 2007!
