Hello everyone, first of all apologies for the hiatus, but my father's long illness and death in January took its toll, family still comes first so Docker's Guild went on standby for way too long.

Now the good news! Docker's Guild fans have requested a video and you shall have one :) We will therefore release, in the near future, a video version of S.O.S, a song from the Book A sessions that was released only as a gift track to the fans that helped crowdfund the album. More news about the tune later. The song features Helly (Cattivator of Death, Killin' Baudelaire, who won the "best drummer in the world" in the Hit Like a Girl worldwide contest in 2017) on drums, Anna Portalupi (Hardline, Tarja Turunen) on bass, Nita Strauss (Alice Cooper) on guitars, Douglas R. Docker (Vivaldi Metal Project, Biloxi) on vocals and keyboards and Valentina Procopio on backing vocals. Stay tuned!

Exciting news for Docker's Guild fans! This year I celebrated 50 years of insanity and realized that almost none of the songs that I wrote, arranged and recorded on my different project or as a special guests on others' albums have ever been performed live. So I decided to celebrate my 50th bday by playing a couple songs from each project at a special event. The project is appropriately called So5oS and will include about 30 special guests, mostly friends an colleagues that have played with me in the last 43 years of music :) The set will include 5 Docker's Guild songs taken from all albums, including a preview of Die Today, a new song that will appear on Season 2 and has never been heard before. We will also play material from Bright Shadow, Anatema, Spleen, Dirty Secrets, Biloxi, Mio, Area 51, Rustfield, Shining Line, Frantic Amber, Tony Mills and the Vivaldi Metal Project.

January 11, 2018, 21:30 at the Al Luppolo Saloon in Roletto, northwestern Italy. FREE admission!

Here's a little treat for all DG fans out there! I normally don't share unfinished work, but since Season 2 will take some time to make, here is a "little" teaser from different demos to give you some idea of what S2 will sound like. Some are very old, some have no vocals or guitar, some are brand new and very polished, some will be sung by other singers, some will have different words, but it should all keep you busy for a while. I hope you enjoy it!

Dear friends and fans, a new video is ready: The Making Of Book A (part 1). There will be 3 parts, so you'll have something to look forward for the summer :) 

To celebrate the release of Docker's Guild new album, the Official Docker's Guild Store has been completely revamped as follows: 

1. "Book A" t-shirts are now available in all sizes (S to XXL) 
2. Many extremely rare items have been added, such as old audio cassette demos from the '90s (Docker's Guild and Area 51 stuff, but also the now legendary Biloxi debut album from 1993 [already sold out, sorry]) 
3. SALE: most items from "Season 1" are now discounted to up to 33% until stocks are emptied. 

Go take a look! This is your chance to complete your collection of DG related merch. 

NB: all items preceding the new "Book A" album and related merch will NOT be reprinted, this is one time offer. When they're gone, they're gone :) 

Thanks as always for the support and see you next month! 

Douglas
