Friday, February 5, 2010 the Club Lian traces the music from the 70s with an evening dedicated to those years. Special guest in the evening on stage at the exclusive national Lian a real treat for those years: directly by Player: Ronn Moss, the star of the world and Peter Beckett, will perform in acoustic live with their most famous songs, including their ultimate hit "Baby Come Back".

Player was formed in the mid 70s in Los Angeles from the meeting between Peter Beckett (former guitarist of Skyband) bassist Ronn Moss, JC Crowley, and John Friesen. They achieved worldwide success in 1978 with their U.S. number one single "Baby Come Back" leaving an indelible mark on pop history.

Ronn Moss, star of television, film and music since 1987 plays the part of Ridge Forrester on the soap opera 'The Bold and the Beautiful. Born in Los Angeles, Ronn was attracted to rock and roll at an early age, testing himself first with the drums, then guitar and finally with the electric bass. In 1976, Ronn joined three other musicians to form the band PLAYER. Their work soon attracted the attention of music impresario Robert Stigwood, who signed them to RSO Records by producing their first two albums 'Player' and 'Danger Zone'. Later, under the label Casablanca, they released their third album 'Room With A View'. They toured with the likes of Gino Vannelli, Boz Scaggs, Eric Clapton, Heart and Little River Band. In the first three weeks of 1978, their single "Baby Come Back" occupied the first position in the national pop charts. After leaving Player in 1981, Ronn followed his interest in acting, studying with Charles Conrad, Chris O'Brien, Kathleen King and Peggy Feury. He debuted in his first movie "Hearts of Armor", an Italian production set in Rome and Sicily. In 1996 he released a fifth CD with Peter Beckett, entitled "Lost in Reality". In 2004 he took part in the Italian film "Christmas in Love" directed by Blacks Parenti.

Peter Beckett is an English musician and songwriter who wrote songs for many other recording artists. Best known as singer and guitarist of the soft rock group Player, he scored a resounding success in the United States in 1977 with "Baby Come Back".

"Thank God It's Friday", the one night dedicated to the 70's, will see the familiar console DJ Andrea valuable in the evening will trace the salient steps of this decade musically exceptional and where, in fact, lies the root of today's disco dance in all its forms. Andrea Prezioso's DJ set will follow the concert will be edited by DJ Andrea Roman Prezioso.

NOVEMBER"Due to the great response to the recent Swiffer campaign and the many movies that have featured "Baby Come Back" of late, myself and Ronn have decided to step up the pace with Player. We have been doing the odd gigs here and there. We have put a killer band together and are more than ready to hit the road once again in 2010. A new Player CD will be forthcoming along with new video and photos of the new group." Peter Beckett
