Handsome Hawk Valentine, Hotel Utah, Rock Around The Clock Productions, and Fernando Pinto are proud to present legendary Scottish guitarist
BILLY BREMNER and ROCKFILES on their USA Farewell Tour.
Billy will be joined by his all-star Swedish band of Micke Finell on bass and vocals (Dave Edmunds Band, The Refreshments), Bonne Löfman on guitar and vocals (from Sweden’s Rock´n´Roll mega star Jerry Williams and the pioneer of Swedish Rock´n´Roll Owe Thörnqvist) and Peder Sundahl on drums and vocals (Jerry Williams & Roadwork) and will concentrate on material from Rockpile’s seminal album ‘Seconds of Pleasure’ and the set will be peppered with a number of other chestnuts from throughout Billy’s career.
Bremner is perhaps known best for his work with the band Rockpile and bandmates Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds. Their seminal and sole 1980 studio album ‘Seconds of Pleasure’ featured ‘Teacher Teacher’, ‘Heart’ (with Bremner doing the lead vocal) and ‘If Sugar Was As Sweet As You’. This was the record that delivered on the long held promise of pub rock with its infectious mash up of roots and power pop. But Bremner has a storied fifty year career beyond his work with Rockpile, stretching back to the 60s -- having released four solo albums and either played on records or worked as a sideman with an incredible list of artists including The Pretenders, Shakin’ Stevens, Carlene Carter, Little Richard, Johnny Cash, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Brenda Lee, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Shakin’ Stevens, Elvis Costello, Duane Eddy, Huey Lewis, The Rutles, The Coal Porters, Rosie Flores and more. The man is a guitarist’s guitarist in the best sense...there’s no need to wank when you know what you’re doing. facebook.com/bremner.b Live videos: 1. 2.
