So, why a rock musical about GALILEO the 17th century scientist, inventor and astronomer, Galileo Galilei? Because this guy really did rock in many ways! He was a real celebrity of the time as well as rocking the establishment with his “heretical” views of the universe. GALILEO The Musical features 18 great rock / pop songs that illustrate his life, his inventions and his battle with the Italian authorities to convince them the Earth went round the Sun and not the other way round!

Each song has narration introduction in a wry “Hitchhikers Guide To the Galaxy” style to take you on this rollercoaster journey of Galileo’s amazing life. Recorded in the UK and US, and featuring Steve Butler performing the part of Galileo, who tours as a vocalist with Barclay James Harvest featuring Les Holroyd.

The music style is the “pop” side of rock, so if you love rock singles and rock ballads this is right up your street, with the odd musical nod to classic bands like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin.

Galileo The Musical is the story of a man with greatness reluctantly thrust upon him. It’s also the story of desperate unfairness – here was a scientist who could mathematically and observationally prove his theories, among others, that the Earth went around the sun, yet the all-powerful Church punished him and others for holding these "heretical" beliefs.

Musically, it features mainly rock themes and instrumentation. Galileo will appeal to rock fans with solid riffs, searing guitar lines and on some tracks, a pretty heavy touch in the mixing studio. There are also style nods to classic and progressive rock bands ranging including Led Zeppelin, Genesis and Deep Purple. However, the musical won’t scare away mainstream pop fans as many of the songs are commercial and melodic soft rock compositions.

The writer is Peter Baker, who was the rock DJ on Manchester's Piccadilly Radio for many years, after which he became a TV broadcaster, producer and voiceover artist. Peter has always been a lifelong fan of Galileo and astronomy in general. "I was the first in school to get an "O" level in Astronomy, just learning it on my own, and I built my own reflecting telescope as a kid too!" says Peter. "The Galileo story is amazing, and at last this is a musical for science and maths geeks, but will appeal to a wide audience and age range!" The songs and the story narration tracks are available both on CD and downloads.

MARKETING INFORMATION
