SUBURBAN GHOSTS COME OUT AT HALLOWEEN!
In late 2012 we
enthusiastically reviewed the debut album from DBA, the collaboration between ace
singer-songwriter CHRIS BRAIDE and keyboard maestro GEOFF DOWNES.
On Sunday 25 October - on
Get Ready to ROCK! Radio - there is a two-hour special featuring
Chris and Geoff respectively, chatting about the new album -
'Suburban Ghosts' -and their
careers in general.
Chris Braide may be a
less familiar name to people although for several years he has
been writing/producing for artists such as Kylie, Britney Spears, Beyonce and Lana de Rey.
