(Suffern, New York) – Don’t miss the return of Paul “Turk” Henry of the band Hobbit to the Kweevak Radio Show on Thursday February 26, 2004, starting at 8pm EST. Paul will be back on the worldwide Internet radio show for the second installment of his interview with Kweevak’s Rockin Rich Lynch. Mr. Henry will continue the conversation about his band’s latest CD called “All For The One” – based on the Tolkien Lord of the Rings trilogy. More songs from the CD will be aired.
Also being discussed will be the Academy Awards presentations taking place on February 29, 2004 in Hollywood, California. “The Return of The King” is nominated for several Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director. The radio show will also announce a Hobbit and Lord of the Rings book discussion and web chat that will take place later in 2004 on the Kweevak Radio Show.
The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings theme starts with our in-studio guest – solo artist Peter Sando, a founder of the band Gandalf who released a psychedelic self-titled record on Capital Records in 1969.
Starting off the show will be a telephone conversation with European indie rocker Dave Adrian to discuss his new book, film, TV & recording projects. Dave always has insightful comments and we anticipate that this appearance will be no different.

I have just returned from the Howard Shore book-signing event at the Archambault Bookstore in Montreal. Howard is in town for the ‘The Montreal Highlights Festival’ event and will be conducting some of his work from The Lord of the Rings on Monday, February 23rd.
As we arrived at the bookstore we were greeted by a large group of fans that were patiently waiting outside the store to get their goods signed by Howard. Inside a small group of TV personalities were waiting for their chance to ask Howard a few questions after the signing was over. Howard specifically asked the media to wait until the singing was over in order to make the fans feel comfortable around him without the whole spectacle of lights and cameras in the way. His lovely wife Elizabeth watched patiently as Howard met countless fans and signed hundreds of autographs. Many people brought CD’s for him to sign, but there were copies of LOTR books, DVDs and other interesting things they carried with them. After about two hours the announcement was made that Howard would not be doing any more autographs. That didn’t stop a few eager fans from getting around the line and sneaking in to see him, Howard was gracious enough to sign every single one and speak with each fan individually.
While I waited for my chance to interview him on camera I was speaking with one of his personal assistants who told me Howard has been on a grueling schedule lately. He was recently in the UK for the BAFTA Awards, and in the States for Grammys. Of course next week he’s off to LA for the Academy Awards and after that it’s back to London to score the Extended Edition scenes of The Return of the King!
While speaking to Howard he told me he was eager to do this concert in Montreal, he said being a Canadian it is always nice to get back to his home country. Mind you, being back in familiar grounds can have its risks, while getting ready to pack up for the day a woman arrived and greeted Howard with a big hug. Howard called his wife over and introduced her to the mystery woman, who happed to be his girlfriend back when he was a teenager!
Howard is next working on Martin Scorsese’s ‘The Aviator’ and then Peter Jackson’s ‘King Kong’. I asked him if he would be heading back down to New Zealand while PJ is filming Kong, he told me that he would most likely be going down there again. He said that seeing the sets and the designs gives him a better feel for the film and almost always influences his work.
As for the Extended Edition of ROTK, Howard is STILL writing it at this moment. His work is never complete.
Howard invited me to his dress rehearsal the afternoon before the concert this Monday. I in turn invited him to the Return of the Oscar Party the night of the Oscars.
Thanks to the folks at Archambault for allowing us to film the event (check for a new episode of TORN Digital soon!). Thanks also to Miriam, Robbie, & Kathy!
