'The New Christy Minstrels Fan Cruise Sets Sail'

SANTA ROSA, Calif., July 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Signature Cruise Events in cooperation with Minstrelz Music announces the launch of the very first New Christy Minstrels Fan Cruise. Fans of the Minstrels can sail with their favorite musicians on Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines Vision of the Seas for "The New Christy Minstrels Cruise" in 2007. Depart April 22 from Los Angeles to the Mexican Riviera ports of Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas.

Minstrels Founder Randy Sparks, along with Barry McGuire, Clarence Treat, Art Podell, Jackie Miller-Davidson, Gayle Caldwell, Dolan Ellis and Larry Ramos supported by Minstrels of a more recent vintage will be on board to host fans, followers, and friends for a week of Minstrels music, margaritas and memories.

It has been more than 40 years since a group of 8 young men and 2 young women made their national television debut on The Andy Williams Show in the fall of 1962. That group, The New Christy Minstrels, would go on to win a Grammy for their debut recording, "Presenting The New Christy Minstrels."

Forty-five years after it was put together in 1961 by founder, Randy Sparks, the group has embarked on a mission to let their fans and the world know that The New Christy Minstrels are still singing.

In announcing the cruise, Randy Sparks recently said, "We'll still do the classics, our hits from long ago, but I think you'll also be amazed that we can still create new musical memories ... You're invited to join us for the greatest nautical hootenanny of all time." "THE NEW CHRISTY MINSTRELS" fan cruise sets sail on April 22, 2007.
