Mit über 90 Millionen verkauften Tonträgern gehört er zu den erfolgreichsten Interpreten des Genres. Roland Kaiser ist der Erotomane des Deutschen Schlagers. Lieder als Möglichkeitsraum zum Durchspielen tabuisierter Wünsche. Er hat etwas hinbekommen, was nachhallt und bei den Menschen hängenbleibt, das ist der Kaiser. Nie müde, immer wieder auf der Suche nach dem nächsten Song, den nächsten Satz, der die Menschen berühren kann. Er hat nie die kindliche Neugierde und Spannung verloren. Die Menschen wissen, wenn sie in sein Konzert gehen, dann bekommen sie den Roland Kaiser pur. Und Roland gibt die Liebe der Menschen zurück. Fast 50 Jahre auf der Bühne und seit dem 10. Mai 2022 70 Jahre alt. Vor vielen Jahren schon hatte er als Vorbild Udo Jürgens und nach dessen Tod, am 21. Dezember 2014, ist der Kaiser auch der letzte große Gentleman des deutschen Schlagers.
Bluecoat is a unique and much-loved Liverpool institution, its oldest city centre building. This book tells the fascinating story of its transformation from charity school to contemporary arts centre, the UK's first. Its early 18th century origins shed light on the religious and maritime mercantile environment of the growing port, whose merchants supported the school.

"Some towns change with the times while others seem to fall through the cracks, entering an oddly timeless domain. The latter is the case with Strathleven, in which the rituals and darkness of the past seem always to be glimmering just below the surface of a seemingly normal shell. Wonderfully controlled and with a very deft, beautifully done tone, Knives, Forks, Scissors, Flames is the sort of thing that might happen if The Wicker Man had been cross-pollinated with one of Friedrich Dürrenmatt's detective novels."--Brian Evenson, author of A Collapse of Horses "No contemporary writer’s work scares me more than Kiesbye’s. Knives, Forks, Scissors, Flames is gothic and whatever the opposit...
