Brian Connolly was born 5th October 1945 and died 9th February 1997. He was only 51 years of age so to say he was too young to shuffle off this mortal coil would be an understatement. When I first met and joined the band, Brian in every sense of the word was a star and I have no doubt that if Sweet hadn't made it, he would have broken through as a solo artist and would eventually have been successful. He took me under his wing with a few nights out clubbing in London, my lips are sealed tight shut regarding these exploits but let's just say that had it continued there may have been further casualties within the band. It was much healthier to join the Tennis Club but not half the fun. He was the archetypal frontman, publicity followed him everywhere he went and he lapped it up. He recorded some of our early rehearsals on his portable cassette deck and would play them with pride to anyone and everyone. My best memories are from the time before the never-ending USA tours when we were all "normal", just a few lads having a laugh. Brian, if you were here today you'd still be a star and I for one, to make you smile, would drink to that.

We are delighted to announce the return of our good friend Tony O’Hora on keyboards, guitar and vocals.
Since his departure in 2005 Tony has never been far from the band as he has stood in for Pete on several occasions.
Rehearsals were great fun and the first show was an absolute blast so we are really excited about the future and getting back on the road with the new line-up.
