Spike is the founder and front man of the Quireboys - one of the UK’s most enduring rock 'n' roll bands. A band that's been through different chapters and had different line-ups, but Spike is the constant throughout.
Song writer, singer and leader of a band with which he has now become synonymous.
With lifelong friend Guy Bailey, Spike penned the benchmark Quireboys songs - such as Hey You, I Don't Love You Any More and 7 O'Clock - tracks which have defined the band musically for decades and, to this day, remain the hallmark songs of any Quireboys show.
Spike has also had a succession of critically acclaimed solo records and treasured collaborations. Music is Spike’s lifeblood. Always has been and always will be.
With the Quireboys inactive as a live act due to the pandemic,
Spike booked some low-key acoustic shows to tour his Late Night Song Book album. He was one of the first acts, if not the first act back with live music as lockdown eased in the summer of 2021. It was the perfect setting to encourage people back to grassroots venues - low key, socially-distanced shows, evenings of music and storytelling.
These intimate shows have continued to prove very popular and remain one of Spike’s favourite performance showpieces. Even though the newly re-formed Quireboys continue to sell out larger venues he is very much at home with his acoustic guitar, accompanied by Chris Heilmann. Another side project Spike & The Geordie Rogues is still in development and the debut video ‘Drink is the Ruination of Man’ has already become a fans firm favourite.
Spike also provided guest vocals on the Soho Dukes single “A Stone’s Throw” which was voted Single of the Week by Classic Rock. No doubt the forthcoming festive season will see the re-release “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year”.
2026 will be another busy year year for Spike that will see him playing across Europe and the USA but you know that he will be back in the UK performing his unique ‘solo’ shows to the fans old and new.
DEL BROMHAM
Fourteen studio albums, three Solo albums, six live albums and a brand-new live full concert video released in 2025. Let alone the studio and live albums with his side project The Blues Devils
This is Del Bromham
The first Stray album was hailed as a masterpiece, not bad for a bunch of 18 and 19-year-olds. Del has led Stray across the decades, through the ups and downs. Together with Stray, Del has supported Iron Maiden, Kiss, Rush, British Lion and countless others here in UK, Europe, United States, and Japan.
Leslie West from Mountain and Del co-wrote the Grammy nominated song “To The Moon”

Del’s solo show is a mixture of his most well-known songs and some that influenced him from such an early age.
This combined with Del’s passion for telling a story creates a wonderful insight into what should’ve been one of Britain’s biggest rock bands.
