We are delighted to be bringing the God of Hellfire himself to the Craufurd Arms on Thursday the 19th June 2025!Arthur Brown is synonymous with his 1968 hit “Fire” and the Hammond-driven “Crazy World” line-up which spawned it. However, in 1970, he returned with a new project: the prog-festival freak-show Kingdom Come followed by a varied solo career. Those initial four albums by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown and Kingdom Come are now widely regarded as psych rock classics.
Best known for his flamboyant theatrical performances and his powerful, wide- ranging operatic voice, Arthur Brown has been a major influence on a wide range of musicians due to his outstanding vocal ability and wild stage persona and concepts. He is considered a pioneer of shock rock / progressive rock and hugely influential on many heavy metal artists. An associate of Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Frank Zappa, Hawkwind and Alice Cooper, his countless collaborations include The Alan Parsons Project, The Stranglers and The Prodigy.
His signature hit single reached number 1 in the UK and Canadian singles chart, and was a number 2 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100. The album “The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown” enjoyed top ten chart success on both sides of the Atlantic.
Arthur shows no signs of stopping or slowing down and continues to headline festivals and record and release hugely inspiring music, including his most recent release “Long, Long Road”.
We are promised a full evening of ‘psychedelic individuality, ingenuity and madness featuring great musicians, stunning visuals, and sonic adventure. Come dressed as elaborately, creatively, flamboyant or low key as you feel….’
Tickets are £20 in advance, available from Seetickets from 10am Friday 6th December 2024.
