Can it really be 10
years since Captain Pete donned his pirate coat and took
the helm? What a decade! Long live Captain Pete! Linda |

| Now it's ten years since
captain Georg who devised, created and steered the Sailor
ship, disembarked to pay off and start new projects.
Georg is an artist who always expects a constant new
inspiration from his projects to enhance them and be
content as an artist. After the many years with Sailor,
this project was exhausted for him. Surely the music from
DATA and Noir could also have been played by Sailor, but
the band would have lost it's uniqueness, the original
concept would have been diluted, Georg just doesn't do
anything like this. Contently looking back at his
achievements, although there was and is still a lot of
creative potential inside him, a Georg Kajanus can't do
that, he wants to give himself but also the people more
than just being on stage with his
12-String-Ovation-Guitar or the Charango and play the
well-known songs. I can understand it and am therefore
not angry on Georg, on the contrary, I am really anxious
to hearing "People Industrie", a very
sociocritical and high-levelled creation, a real
criticism of society that I absolutely agree to. But what was to happen to the ship with the abandoned bridge, should it be wrecked just because the former captain had no need for it any more? The crew, consisting of Phil, Henry and Grant, still had so much fun working on this ship that was and still is the dream-ship fpr so many fans. But what is a ship withou a captain? Fortunately, rescue came with Peter, who immediately and obviously enjoyed being aborad with Sailor and still does, who loved the interaction with the fans, who is never unfriendly or exclusive and whom we all love very much now, although it was a bit difficult to stand for me when I saw Sailor at an NDR television show without Georg then. By contrast to Georg, Peter is less the "master of ceremonies", more a teamplayer, so that the other band members, especially Phil, now get the possibility to play a bigger part in Sailor and add their creative stamps to Sailor. That's how fresh wind came in the sails of Sailor, firstly thanks to the new captain and secondly because of the different, more democratic team spirit, so that Phil can now include his creative talent, and maybe we can also hear more from Henry, who, after a brief guest performance of Anthony England and the excellent work of Rob Alderton, is now back aboard. Rob gave the Nickelodeon its original sound again and resurrected the stage set of the 70s and is still very popular with the fans of Sailor, who watched the change from Rob to Henry with one laughing and one crying eye. He left us "The Harbour Bar Bell", the wish to the current Sailor crew: Get the song into your live-sets as a standard, it's a very good song and should also be a thankyou for Rob. Ten years is a long time, but they also passed quite quickly. The Sailor dream-ship sailed for another ten years now, while other "stars" came and sank again. What do I wish for from Peter in the future? Put the e-guitar in the cupboard, buy a nice 12-String Ovation guitar and also a Charango - I saw these at an online-auction for little money. In the 70s Sailor differed from other bands because of the non-use of electric guitars, that's how it should be again. Now I don't only wish Peter all the best for the next ten years with Sailor, but also Phil, Henry and Grant. And if there should be any trouble within the band, remember: we are waiting for you and also for a new album with unique new original Sailor material. Keep on Sailing Uli |

For
me being in Australia I had never heard nor seen Peter
Lincoln perform with Sailor until I got the "Pirate
Copy DVD". Geoff Brown, Australia |

I
have only seen Sailor perform twice with Peter as
Captain. Alan (Coventry.England.) |

I
would like to add that having seen Pete play in London in
December 2005 provided me with a huge inspiration in my
lead role in Sailor - The Musical Journey. His
style, stance and lovely manner when we met him after the
gig was a joy. Best of regards to you all!! David Mutch x |
