Glam 'n Glitz are thrilled to announce that they will be supporting the legendary Glam Rock band MUD on their current UK tour. Get your Tiger Feet moving and join us for a spectacular night of 70s nostalgia!
Glam rockers Mud, featuring two of the four original members, are playing a handful of shows this winter – and they are coming to Sutton Coldfield Town Hall in November for an unforgettable night of 70s glam and nostalgia.
Its fifty years since Mud had their first hit record ‘Crazy’ under the guidance of legendary producer Mickie Most and prolific song-writers Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. This year also marks the half century of the release of `Tiger Feet`, which reached number 1 and created a dance craze.
They went on to score three UK number one hits, eleven UK top ten singles and another fifteen UK top 40 hits as well as charting in Europe and many other parts of the world. Indeed, the band held the record number of appearances in the long running BBC `Top of the Pops` show.
Today, the band still has two surviving original members, Ray Stiles and Rob Davis – famous for his massive gold earrings in TV appearances. Rob has become a very successful songwriter having penned various hits for many artists including, most notably, Kylie Minogue (Can’t Get You Out Of My Head) and Sophie Ellis Bexter (Groovejet).
Ray has been a member of The Hollies for the past thirty-six years and still tours with them, playing sell-out shows in Australia, New Zealand, America, Europe, Scandinavia and the UK.
The line-up of Mud is completed by Pete Phipps (drums), and Keith Read (guitar). Pete was an original touring member of the Eurythmics (with Annie Lennox). Keith is a long-time friend of Rob and Ray – he was in the Wild Angels (a rock `n’ roll band of the late 60s and early 70s).
The evening will feature an on-stage tribute to original lead singer and fantastic showman Les Gray and drummer Dave Mount, both sadly no longer with us. It was Les who famously remarked, when asked to sum up Mud, said: “Its entertainment – not education”.
Hear all the Mud hits, including `The Cat Crept In`, `Lean On Me`, `Rocket`, the Valentines hit `Secrets That You Keep’ and the explosive `Dynamite`. Plus the number ones `Oh Boy` and `Loney This Christmas` and the all time classic `Tiger Feet`.
Supporting Mud will be the ultimate glam rock tribute act - The Glam ’N Glitz Band. Paying tribute to all your favourite glam icons and guaranteed to have you dancing out of your seat in a blockbuster (!) opening to this fantastic 70s show.
Performing to their high standard of musicianship, Glam `N Glitz include the unforgettable hits from all the glam icons including Bowie, T.Rex, Sweet and Slade – and many more!
So, roll back the years, remember the olden days of glam rock, and put on your `Tiger Feet` for this great evening of pure entertainment and unrelenting good times.
