Ex-LITTLE ANGELS Singer Joins FASTWAY

May 22, 2007

Toby Jepson, ex-lead singer of the LITTLE ANGELS and current solo artist, has been invited to join the ranks as lead vocalist of the 2007 version of FASTWAY.

FASTWAY was the brainchild of ex-MOTÖRHEAD guitar legend "Fast" Eddie Clarke, who achieved huge success in the mid-Eighties, releasing three albums to popular acclaim both in Europe and the U.S. Having had a rest from the business, Eddie has resurfaced with fresh intent, a new lineup — featuring bass player John Mc Manus (ex-MAMA'S BOYS) and drummer Steve Strange — and a series of open-air festival dates.

Commented Toby: "I'm very excited to be asked to do this. I owned a copy of the first FASTWAY record and have a lot of respect for Eddie. It is a great opportunity and one I simply couldn't turn down…it will see me as part of a great band treading the stages of Europe's biggest festival this year and who know what else in the future…"

Asked how it will affect his solo career, Toby said, "Not at all is the answer! I have had detailed discussions with the management of the FASTWAY camp and have let them know that I have a solo career in development that I have commitment to and will continue to pursue…I see this project with FASTWAY as a great second string, it allows me to work with other musicians on material that isn't mine and so stretches me as a vocalist and allows me to simply concentrate on the singing…it looks like it will be a lot of fun and I intend to enjoy it…we have already had a couple of rehearsals and it sounded great, Eddie is on top form so I think the shows will be very cool, however, the Chepstow show and the September tour is still of the highest priority for me and I cant wait to get back in the studio in July to record the next EP so all is as it should be…"

FASTWAY tour dates:

Jun. 09 - Sweden Rock - SWE
Jun. 10 - Download - UK
Jun. 16 - Fields of Rock - NETH
Jun. 22 - Graspop Metal Meeting - BEL
Aug. 03 - Wacken Open Air - GER
