High-energy glam rock tribute show with a live band and vocals covering hits from Sweet, T. Rex, Slade, Bowie and more.
The Glam Rock Show comes to Babbacombe Theatre on Friday 20 November, with the show starting at 7:30 pm. It's a tribute to the music and flamboyance of 1970s glam rock, touring nationwide and built around a live band and powerhouse vocals. The whole thing is designed to take you back to the golden age of glitter, guitars and the anthems that defined a generation.
On the front is Brian Connolly Jnr, son of Sweet legend Brian Connolly, backed by a live band. Together they run through hits from Sweet, T. Rex, Slade, Mud, Bay City Rollers, David Bowie, Suzi Quatro, Wizzard and more. It's a broad sweep of the era, so you'll hear the big names alongside some of the more glittery, stomp-along numbers that sat right in the middle of the glam sound.
The show is touring the country, and a BBC Radio Tees reviewer summed it up as being for anyone who loves the 70s and loves to be transported back. It's a high-energy night, and the setlist covers a good chunk of the period's biggest acts, so it's less about one particular band and more about the whole scene.
