In this book, Tony Brassington interviews seven Carpenters tribute artists and reveals many insights into this unique profession. It is very soon clear from the interviews that the life and work of a tribute artist is bigger, more interesting and diverse, than many would think. The tributes interviewed have mastered their craft and then have played all around the world, from bars to cruise ships, clubs to theatres, from small local gigs to sold out concerts; everywhere from Las Vegas to China, and countless other distant places and countries too, while their work remains always in high demand.The tributes know just what Carpenters music really means to people and how much love, affection, and reverence the public still have for it, and they are very familiar with the emotional power within the music too. The tributes talk about the things people have said to them at the meet-and-greet sessions after each show and the great amount of warmth, appreciation, and heartfelt thanks they receive from people after their tribute performances.Are you one of the millions of people who just love the Carpenters Music? Or have you ever wondered what it takes to become a Carpenters tribute act, or a tribute for any other artist? Maybe you are an aspiring singer and have wondered how to get your singing career started or move it up to the next level. Or perhaps you just love listening to good live music. If so, then this book is a must read for you.All of the tributes interviewed give an overview of their careers from the beginning to the present day. They talk about what they had to do in order to achieve that Carpenters sound and maintain it, and towards the end of each interview, each tribute gives a few words of well-seasoned advice for aspiring entertainers, tributes, and singers – advice that is invaluable for someone wishing to enter or progress in the entertainment industry, and often the advice has a wider meaning for anyone wanting to reach their own individual goals in life too.These interviews makes a captivating read in a book that you will not want to put down once started. … This book includes interviews with … Emily Jane Brooks / Katy Ellis / Rebecca Andrews / Laurie Briggs / Debbie Taylor / Sally Olson & Ned Mills

I have put together a short survey relating to the Carpenters. Since writing my first book about the Carpenters, The Carpenters – My Reflections, I have gained an even greater appreciation of just how much the Carpenters still mean to so many people, as their very special and unique sound continues to be enjoyed as much today as ever before.
The short survey in the link below will I believe, produce a fascinating glimpse into what people still think about the Carpenters today and what their music still means to them.
This survey will form the base material for a book which is certain to prove to be very interesting.
