Due to overwhelming demand we are glad to announce a 2 night 50th anniversary celebration of the legendary Paul Kossoff, guitarist of Free - whose sound helped shape a generation of British rock.This powerful tribute features an all-star lineup of musicians who knew and played alongside Kossoff himself:
Terry Wilson Slesser - former Beckett and Back Street Crawler frontman, sharing his personal memories of playing with Koss. John Buckton - acclaimed by Simon Kirke as “my first choice to fill Koss’ shoes” if Free ever reunited. Clive Edwards - formerly of UFO and Lionheart. Rhino Edwards - bass player with rock legends Status Quo and cousin to Clive.
Expect a night packed with authentic, soul-stirring performances of Free’s greatest hits - including tracks that echo the band’s deep ties to Sunderland, where the legendary Free Live album was recorded at The Locarno.
Also a personal dedication to Sunderland’s very own Geoff Docherty
Sunderland Navy Club, (37 Roker Avenue, SR6 0HX)
Relive the spirit of Seaburn Bay Hotel and the golden age of British rock with musicians who were there and lived it.
Don’t miss your chance to honour the music, the memories, and the man himself, here in Sunderland.
