About this Event
Russ Ballard and Robert Hart - Songs and Stories.
An intimate acoustic evening with two icons of British rock.
An intimate acoustic evening with two icons of British rock.
Russ Ballard is one of the most celebrated songwriters of his generation. As a former member of Argent, he penned the classic “Hold Your Head Up,” and went on to write and perform an extraordinary catalogue of global hits recorded by artists such as Rainbow, Hot Chocolate, America, and Ace Frehley. His songs—timeless, melodic, and powerful—have become part of rock history.
Joining him is a good friend of Dunmow Music Club, Robert Hart, renowned for his commanding voice as lead vocalist of Manfred Mann’s Earth Band and Bad Company. Hart’s rich, soulful delivery and magnetic stage presence have captivated audiences worldwide, bringing fresh energy to a band celebrated for its progressive sound and classic hits.
Since first meeting in the early 90's when Russ co-wrote and produced a record for Robert, they have remained great friends - most recently teaming up for a Symphonic Rock show touring around Germany.
Stripped back to acoustic form, this special performance reveals the heart of the songs—master craftsmanship, unforgettable melodies, and two extraordinary artists sharing stories and music up close.
