Following the recent departure of long time keyboard player / guitarist Steve Grant, we will spend most of the coming week in rehearsal to prepare for the next chapter of the story, beginning at The Robin 2, Bilston on Saturday 17th.
We are very excited to have the opportunity to unveil the newest member of the band at an event that has become an annual get-together for fans from all over the world.
If you want to be among the first to find out who it is, then all we can say is . . . "Be there!"

would have been 64 today. Not one one of us back in the heady days of the 1970s could imagine what it would be like to reach such an age. Though musically the songs and his drumming in particular have stood the test of time. For forty years I have kept the Sweet flame burning, half of it on the road with Mick. There are many stories to tell, most of them hair-raising and hilarious and there isn't a day that goes by where I'm not reminded of one escapade or another. I will have these memories for ever and will cherish them. Mick you were my best friend within the band and there were times when I couldn't keep up with you but I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

First three arena shows with the triple-whammy of Sweet, Smokie and Slade. The bands were all made very welcome by extremely warm and enthusiastic audiences - helping to counteract the below freezing temperatures outside!.
Then Straight to Switzerland for 3 sell out club shows for brilliant audiences that certainly helped make up for the jet lag. And finally a mad month of travelling was over but it was well worth it....
