The Troggs are an English beat music band formed in Andover, Hampshire, in May 1964. Their most famous songs include the US chart-topper “Wild Thing”, “With a Girl Like You” and “Love Is All Around”, all of which sold over 1 million copies. “Wild Thing” is ranked No. 257 on the Rolling Stone magazine’s list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The Troggs are widely seen as a highly influential band whose sound was an inspiration for garage rock and punk rock. Despite having a number one single, the band’s success in the U.S. was limited by the band not touring there until 1968. Paced by Reg Presley’s lusting vocals, the group — which composed most of their own material–could crunch with the best of them, but were also capable of quite a bit more range and melodic invention than they’ve been given credit for. When The Troggs first hit single ‘Wild Thing’entered the charts in 1966 Reg was still working on a building site. But as soon as he heard on a workmate’s transistor radio that the record had shot up the UK charts he told his workmate ‘to share out his tools’ and left the site forever to be a full time professional musician. More hits followed in quick succession between 1966 and 1968 for The Troggs with Reg penning the majority. On February 4, 2013, Reg Presley passed. Before he passed, Reg blessed The Troggs continuing into the future performing concerts and carrying on the unbelievable legacy of The Troggs.

The Los Angeles music scene of the late sixties and seventies was characterized by the heavy sounds and sentiments that reflected the revolutionary attitudes of the generation. Bursting onto that scene was Iron Butterfly, whose sound not only epitomized the hard attitudes of the youth with its heavy drumming and bass lines, but also embraced more delicate aspirations through its intricate guitar and keyboard overlays. Iron Butterfly was signed to ATCO Records (division of Atlantic Records) and released their first album, aptly titled “Heavy”. While the band was on the road with the likes of: the Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Traffic, the Who, and Cream, their impressive debut stayed on Billboard’s album charts for a year.

They followed up with the monumental LP, “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida”, featuring the 17:05 minute sidelong track that shook the entire music industry with its phenomenal reception. “Vida” Out-Sold every record in the history of recorded music within the first year of its release, and therefore outgrew and outsold the standard of the music industry’s “Gold Album Award”.

For this achievement, Iron Butterfly was subsequently awarded the Industry’s Very First “Platinum Album”. “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” stayed on the charts for 140 weeks, with 81 weeks in the Top Ten. To date the album has sold in excess of 30+ million copies and remains an undisputed classic in the Archives Of Rock with DJ’s and audiophiles worldwide.

Within a year of releasing “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida”, Iron Butterfly had charted a third album, “Ball”, which surpassed “Vida” (still in Billboard’s Top 10) turning “Gold”, and climbed to Number One. “Ball” remained on the charts for 44 weeks, followed by two more album releases, “Live” and “Metamorphosis”, each charting respectably in the Top 20.

British rock band “The Sweet “aka “Sweet” rose to worldwide fame in the 1970s as one of the top three “Glam Rock Acts” of its era. This movement carved out a decade of new style & horizons for both music and fashion which in turn helped fuel a new sexual revolution embracing an anything-goes attitude into Western society. “The Sweet’s” influence has been touted & revered across many genres, from Boy George to Kiss, to Poison to Guns & Roses.

​Decades later the late great founder Steve Priest came out of retirement to put together his version of how he wanted his legacy to be presented and preserved into the future. After hearing drummer Richie Onori & keyboardist Stevie Stewart, he was sold that he had finally found the perfect chemistry to forge ahead respectively and in honor of his fallen comrades. The three of them enlisted two more top-caliber musicians who could equally capture & deliver with the same intensity and prowess that his original line-up did. They were off to the races performing hundreds of shows around the globe.

​Currently, Stevie & Richie’s talented line-up proudly features the amazing Ari Kamin on lead vocals, blazing guitarist Jimmy Burkard and the Keyboard wizardry of Dave Schulz.​

​It’s anybody’s guess how long this iconic brand and band will delight music fans across both generational and societal divides but, as Axl Rose, (lead singer for Guns & Roses) put it on the Jimmy Kimmel show interview, he gave credit to two bands that influenced him the most growing up.

​“Sweet” & “Queen” That says it all doesn’t it?

Rare Earth was signed with Motown in 1969, and were one of the hottest acts in the land. During the Motown years they released 8 albums (5 studio, 2 live, and 1 movie soundtrack), as well as charting 5 hit singles: “Get Ready,” “I Just Want to Celebrate,” “Born to Wander,” “I’m Losing You,” and “Hey Big Brother” garnering them several gold, platinum and double platinum album awards.

This band carries on Gil Bridge’s legacy and celebrates the great rock music that remains ingrained in our heads today! Their song “I Just Want to Celebrate” kicked off the 2023 Grammy Awards.

Nazareth rose from playing the pubs, clubs and dance halls of their native Scotland to become one of the most successful rock bands in the world. They were pioneers who took Scottish rock international paving the way for the many other great Scottish bands like Simple Minds, Texas, Big Country, Del Amitri, etc. The original four members first came together in Pete Agnew’s band “The Shadettes” in 1968, changed the name to ‘Nazareth’ in 1970 and from then went on to record a string of hits worldwide.

PETE AGNEW (bass player and original founding member)
JIMMY MURRISON (longest serving guitarist in Nazareth’s history)

He was the superstar who topped the UK and US single charts in the 70s with songs of endearing tunefulness, unabashed sentiment and existentialist musings. Today, Irish singer-songwriter Gilbert O’Sullivan continues to be regarded with tremendous affection and his songs remain well-loved around the world.

Gilbert O’Sullivan was born Raymond Edward O’Sullivan in 1946 in Ireland. After forming and joining local bands as a drummer/vocalist, he started writing his own songs, heavily influenced by The Beatles as writers and Bob Dylan as a performer. Calling himself Gilbert, with a very distinctive image, two singles released by CBS Records and one with the Major Minor label, got little attention. Undeterred, he sent a demo tape to Gordon Mills, the man behind Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck, who impressed with his song writing, became his manager. The result was his first single on the MAM label, Nothing Rhymed, became a UK Top Ten hit in 1970.

More hit singles and a debut album Himself followed. But it was 1972’s Alone Again (Naturally) that sealed his fame, topping the USA charts for six weeks and garnering three Grammy nominations. Soon after, he got his first three British number one hits with Clair, Get Down and LPBack to Front. Gilbert was named “Songwriter of the Year” at the 18th Ivor Novello Awards, embarked on an 18-city UK tour and a USA tour, performed sold-out concerts, clocked another UK Top 10 hit with Why Oh Why Oh Why and in 1974 won a third Ivor Novello award. Cover versions of his songs continue to be released, in particular ‘Alone Again, (Naturally)’, with the latest being Neil Diamond and Diana Krall featuring Michael Buble.

Gilbert O’Sullivan is as creative now as he has ever been across an outstanding career, and the past few years have seen Gilbert O’Sullivan showcase many sides of his musical personality. Be it live shows with his band, full orchestral performances in the UK and Ireland or exploring Latin music on 2015’s Latin Ala G! album, the iconic songwriter has continued to look to the future while his famous back catalogue has, as ever, won him the respect and adoration of fellow musicians and audiences all over the world. His recent albums, 2018’s Ethan Johns-produced ‘Gilbert O’Sullivan’ and this year’s Andy Wright-produced ‘Driven’ (both awarded 4-stars in MOJO magazine), both entered the charts in the Top 30 and Top 20 and have seen a rightful renaissance and reappraisal of this Irish born, outstanding British talent.

Julio Iglesias, Jr., has lived a life steeped in the transcendent power of music. Since first taking the stage with his legendary father as a small child, the Madrid-born artist has turned out musical projects in a dazzling expanse of genres, toured with icons like Cher, and captivated audiences across the globe with his soulful vocals and effortlessly charming presence. Made with famed producer Rudy Pérez (the Grammy Award-winning musician known for his work with superstars like Christina Aguilera, Beyoncé, and Natalie Cole), his new album Under The Covers finds Iglesias reinterpreting an eclectic mix of pop songs in the classic sound of big band and swing—a supreme fit for his impossibly smooth voice, resulting in his most magnetic and magical work to date (which will be followed by several exciting major projects still to be announced.)

Recorded in his home base of Miami Beach with an elite lineup of musicians, Under The Covers makes for a perfect counterpart to the crowd-thrilling live show Iglesias has brought to venues around the world in recent years. “When I first started singing in this very timeless style, everything clicked for me,” he says. “It feels authentic to who I am more than anything I’ve done before, and I knew I needed to continue on that path. I love that I’m able to give people something that takes them back and brings them joy, especially at a time when the world really needs more peace and love.”

“We were delighted to have Julio perform for our guests during a recent event in Miami. He was absolutely a draw for clients to attend as they were excited to see him perform, and he did not disappoint! Julio is charismatic and really knows how to engage a crowd. Everyone was on their feet dancing and singing along to the known classics he performed. Julio joined our guests dancing and serenaded them. He is a true performer with magnetism and star quality. His band is incredible too! We would absolutely hire him again for a future engagement”.

Coalescing in the early 80s and fronted by twin brothers Jay and Michael Aston the band quickly became popular on the indie scene, and by 1985 had established a settled line-up with the additions of Pete Rizzo on bass, Chris Bell on drums and James Stevenson on guitar. Consequently signing to Beggars Banquet they gained a following throughout Europe and the USA. Following the departure of Michael in 1988 and the imploding of their record label, Savage Records in 1993, the band pursued various projects until the 1999 release of a new batch of tracks, in VII.

British electronic band Blancmange first formed in 1979 but they’re still willing to change and adapt new styles within their electronic framework, which was evident with 2022’s critically acclaimed album Private View. 

Blancmange fuse together an inspiring mix of synthesisers and surrealism, which over the years has created groundbreaking singles such as Feel Me, Living on the Ceiling, Blind Vision and Don’t Tell Me. 

In their post-punk early days, Blancmange made tape loops and experimental sounds with kitchen utensils, before developing into one of the definitive chart-topping British electronic pop acts. Since reforming in 2011, Neil Arthur has harnessed a duality of experimentation and seamless pop melodies to release a staggering 11 albums in the last decade. 

Frankie Avalon started appearing in films in the 1960s; he is well-known for having appeared in the Beach party films of this decade and for a supporting role in the 1978 musical film Grease, in which he sings the song “BEAUTY SCHOOL DROPOUT”.

The Gap Band was founded by Ronnie Wilson in 1967 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and comprised of multi-instrumentalist brothers Ronnie Wilson & his Brothers, The Gap Band surfaced as one of the most popular funk/rhythm-and-blues (R&B) groups of the 1980s. The brothers grew up performing in their father’s Pentecostal church in Tulsa. There, their mother was the church’s pianist, and the boys sang every Sunday before their father’s sermon. Ronnie, the oldest, started the group when he was fourteen and eventually recruited his younger brothers to play in the band, which they named after streets in the heart of Tulsa’s historic African American business district, Greenwood, Archer, and Pine coming up with the acronym “GAP” The Gap Band recorded their first album, Magician’s Holiday (1974), for Shelter Records, owned by fellow Tulsan Leon Russell. Their success really took flight in 1979 after they moved to Los Angeles. The group scored a Top Five R&B hit with “Shake” (1979), followed by other 1980’s R&B Top Ten hits “Steppin’ Out” and “I Don’t Believe You Want to Get Up and Dance (Oops, Up Side Your Head).” The 1982 pop hit “You Dropped a Bomb On Me” exhibits their trademark, bass-heavy style and the silky, smooth vocals. The band continued recording into the twenty first century.

The band was originally formed in 1981 by lead singer and guitarist Johnnie Dee. Following the departure of his original lead guitarist, Johnnie met Derry Grehan, and he ended up joining the band. Johnnie and Derry immediately recruited Dave Betts on drums, Ray Coburn on keyboards, and Gary Lalonde on bass. In 1983, the band entered a demo of “New Girl Now” to a Homegrown Contest put on by Toronto rock station Q107. They won that year and this led to a multi album, world wide deal with WEA Canada after being signed by A&R president Bob Roper.

The band recorded their debut self-titled album which was released in July, 1984. The album was an instant success, and with the help of massive airplay, several video’s on MTV and MuchMusic, it went on to sell over 300,000 copies in Canada alone.

Since their debut album, Honeymoon Suite has released a total of 9 studio albums to date, with well over 1 million units sold worldwide. They’ve enjoyed an incredible run of success driven by a string of hit singes such as “New Girl Now”, “Burning In Love”, “Stay In the Light”, “Wave Babies”, “Feel It Again” and “What Does It Take”, to name a few.

They have toured extensively in the US, Canada and Europe with acts such as Heart, ZZ Top, Journey, Billy Idol, Loverboy, Bryan Adams, 38 Special, Jethro Tull and Saga, to name a few. Honeymoon Suite has also enjoyed having many of their songs placed in film and TV shows such as Miami Vice and Bones, and movies such as Lethal Weapon (with Mel Gibson), The Wraith (with Charlie Sheen), and One Crazy Summer (with Demi Moore).

With no sign of slowing down, Honeymoon Suite continue to create new music and tour year round thanks to a legion of loyal fans, and constant radio airplay to this day.

The Blow Monkeys are unique with a career spanning over 40 years. Always making new music, always stretching their own musical boundaries. With worldwide hits such as the classics “Digging Your Scene” and “It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way”, they became household names but there was always so much more going on with these simian soulsters.

Their relentless desire to move forward, to collaborate, to be socially engaged and to have something to contribute. Back in the 80’s they worked with people as varied as Curtis Mayfield, Paul Weller, Cheb Khaled and even Jamaican Toaster EEK-a-Mouse!. “No band since The Clash in their early 80’s heyday had attempted to act as a sounding board for such politically engaged, eclectic music”.

Dr Robert even took time out to release one of the UK’s first homegrown ‘house’ records “Wait”, his top 5 duet with Chicago soul diva Kym Maselle.

And so the journey continues. Reformed in 2008 The Blow Monkeys have been incredibly productive releasing six new albums and playing hundreds of concerts. Their latest album “Journey To You” ( 2021) was recorded during ‘lockdown’ and features the extraordinary single “Time Storm” . BMG have also re-released their classic album from 1986 ‘Animal Magic’ as part of their “Iconic” series. It comes as a 4 CD boxset and tasty white vinyl limited edition with extra tracks and rarities galore.

These Monkeys continue to evolve. From their beginnings on the underground club scene right through to their appearance on the biggest selling soundtrack of all time “Dirty Dancing” (You Don’t Own Me) and beyond. Long may they swing.

To anyone who’s familiar with the band’s 50-year-plus history in the reggae field and their immense popularity around the world-there’s much more to Inner Circle than what meets the eye. Indeed, this Jamaican-bred, Grammy winning quintet is one of the world’s most respected reggae groups with a long string of successes stretching back to the mid-70′s. Inner Circle’s special brand of pop-oriented Jamaican beats and energy -filled live performances have allowed the band to transcend the traditional reggae niche and enjoy widespread crossover appeal.

NY Times 2013 – “The wall-to-wall crowd couldn’t get enough, and not just because they were happy to be in the same room with a legend. She brought the goods; may this show be only the first of a renewed love affair with her American audiences.”

James Brown: “The first time I heard her sing, I knew we were born in the same pond”

Elton John: “Lu is one of the great vocalists that the UK has produced. She is sounding better than ever. Her love of current music and artists has kept her relevant, and, she is held in high esteem from the great vocalists of her time and the present day.”

Slim Jim Phantom has secured his place as a true rock-n-roll icon. As the legendary drummer for the Stray Cats, Phantom, alongside band mates Brian Setzer and Lee Rocker, spearheaded the neo-rockabilly movement of the early 80s. With a love for 50s rock-n-roll the Stray Cats took inspiration from that bygone era and mixed with their youthful energy and aggression produced the updated hard-edged rockabilly sound that saw them conquer London, Europe and later the U.S., gaining fans among the likes of Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and Robert Plant along the way.

Over 30 years and millions of record sales later and Slim Jim Phantom continues to inspire and excite audiences worldwide. With a sound, style and image that remain as fresh today as they ever were, Phantom has cemented his place among rock royalty. Considered by many as the coolest drummer in rock-n-roll, Phantom’s influence is still clearly felt on today’s music scene with countless rockabilly drummers imitating his pioneering stand-up style.

 Having celebrated his 70th birthday with a sold out show at the historic Royal Albert Hall in October 2023, Midge is keen to continue the celebration of his life in music by announcing a new North American tour for August and September 2024. 

The tour will give Midge the opportunity to showcase the musical breadth and versatility of his extensive song catalogue written during the past 50 years; giving old and new fans alike a truly remarkable night of hits and rarely heard gems. 

Midge says “I performed live long before I was ever allowed anywhere near a recording studio and as much as I love spending time writing and recording, live music remains my first love. This „Band in a Box‟ tour will allow me to not only play a wide selection of hits from my past but perform some of the most requested favourites. Revisiting these moments from my musical life is something I am really looking forward to sharing. 

After the astounding audience reaction to my US tour in 2022 with Howard Jones I have decided to continue with the two man/Band in a Box format I had then. With Keyboards, guitars, loops and samples I can conjure up the sonic essence of past works with Ultravox and Visage as well as my own solo material” 

James Ure 

Jesus Jones are back – but to be strictly accurate, they never actually went away. Jesus Jones first came together back in 1988, and their distinctive brand of sample-heavy pop found an instant, and receptive audience. Throughout the early 90’s the band enjoyed phenomenal success, particularly in America, where their single “Right Here Right Now” rose to number one, and their second album “Doubt’ sold over a million copies. They played the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury, supported INXS at Wembley Stadium, and performed to a quarter of a million people in Brazil.

Hit Songs Include:
“Right Here Right Now”
“Real Real Real”
“International Bright Young Thing”
“The Devil You Know”

They told the world “You can dance if you want to” 40 years ago – and we did. A few years later they instructed that same planet – the third – to go Pop – and we did.

Men Without Hats have been creating iconic and irresistible pop music for three decades and have soared back with the release of their latest album, Love in the Age of War, to be released this May.

Led by charismatic front man, lead singer and songwriter Ivan Dorschuk, MWH has surged back starting with a breakout show at 2011’s SXSW and followed by extensive, well-received touring across North America over the last year.

Along with keyboard player Lou Dawson and guitarist James Love, Doroschuk and the Hats have been delivering high energy shows packed with all of the band’s absurdly catchy lyrics as well as great tracks from the new release, a disc that picks up where the hit-making band left off.

“Sure lots has changed in music over the last few decades, “ says Doroschuk, “ but the world still loves a hooky song with a bit of edge that can get you thinking.”

And that’s what the Hats deliver, tracks that will get you bopping across the dance floor with subtle messages that will haunt you long after the music has ended.

It’s no surprise that this band has topped charts across the planet and even picked up a 1983 Grammy nomination for Best group (Culture Club won it). The Hats song catalog always sounds fresh and relevant and Hats hits have been featured on The Simpsons, Family Guy and Glee and Pop Goes the World now lights up TV screens in a TIDE ad.

Men Without Hats have been providing a hit-filled and hooky soundtrack for our lives since the 80s and the band powers magnificently into the 21st Century with a steady stream of jaw-dropping live shows and a fantastic new album.

You still can “dance if you want to” and Men Without Hats makes it easy and fun.

The Human League are so credible it’s incredible. They’re used to everyone from Madonna to Moby, Pet Shop Boys to Robbie Williams, citing them as an influence. Now the dubstep generation – notably, the acclaimed Darkstar, who cover the League’s 1982 B-side ‘You Remind Me Of Gold’ on their current album, North – have begun to pay homage to the original sound of Sheffield. But they’re about more than esoteric infiltration – there has been mainstream penetration, too, commensurate with a band who gave us the greatest ever Christmas Number 1 single with 1981/2’s ‘Don’t You Want Me’, who have had four Top 10 albums and eight Top 10 singles in the UK as well as two US Number 1 singles and sold 20 million records worldwide.

Bo Bice is a total original. His raw, muscular vocals are a product of years working the gritty Southern club circuit. This is the same funky, makeshift environment that produced The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd and many others a generation ago. BO BICE came to prominence on American Idol, but this diamond in the rough has not smoothed out those rough edges that made him a star to begin with. Bice topped the charts with “Inside Your Heaven,” a single from his 2005 debut The Real Thing, and went on to tour and record with the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Willie Nelson and Carlos Santana as well as appearing at Bonnaroo. He also recorded the studio albums “See the Light” and “3” which featured the crossover country hit “You Take Yourself With You”. Today, he fills the coveted spot of fronting the legendary Jazz Rock band BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS, while continuing to energize & excite audiences all over the world.

Hits include:

“INSIDE YOUR HEAVEN”
“THE REAL THING”
“YOU TAKE YOURSELF WITH YOU”

14 Top 40 hits, including:

“LET’S LIVE FOR TODAY”
“MIDNIGHT CONFESSIONS”
“SOONER OR LATER”

The world was introduced to Chuck and Three Dog Night by the breakthrough-and the band’s first million seller-“ONE.” Driven by Chuck Negron’s solo lead vocals on 4 million selling singles, three #1 records, (one which topped the charts for six weeks, “JOY TO THE WORLD,”) five top 5 hits and seven top 40 hits, Negron put and kept Three Dog Night on the charts for six years! His soaring, soulful, four octave range and unique vocal styling became a part of the American landscape. His gut wrenching performance on the band’s follow up hit to “ONE”, “EASY TO BE HARD” is now a pop classic, as is his beautiful and smooth vocal on “OLD FASHIONED LOVE SONG.” Chuck’s unmistakable voice exclaiming “Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog” on the multi-Grammy nominated and 1971 Record Of The Year, “JOY TO THE WORLD” is today a part of Americana, securing a place for Chuck Negron as one of the great singers in rock and pop.
