TaM Retro, working out of Little London Studios, re-introduces artists and bands from the seventies and eighties - back live on stage today. Some bringing back the songs they made famous all those years ago, some shedding a different light on their talents with new material ... or a mixture of both for you to enjoy.
Currently TaM Retro is working with ...
Terry Dene - original 50’s rock’n’roller discovered at the famous 2 I’s Coffee bar. Now rehearsing with new backing band - Blue Pulse. Will be out gigging again soon. Best of Terry Dene album to be released this summer. New album to follow
Dave Sharp - formerly guitarist in The Alarm. Now he’s available as a solo acoustic artist plus band projects, The Hard Travelers, alongside Henry McCullough (Wings), Zoot Money (The Animals), Gary Fletcher (The Blues Band), and Colin Allen (Bob Dylan) - blues rock with roots in the ethics of Woodie Guthrie; also Dave’s new Roots band - with Classic rock as the backbone of the music. New album due out summer 2011. Check out the video of Dave’s live interview on brfm radio (Real Player required)
Eric Faulkner - of the legendary Bay City Rollers. Eric also performs a solo acoustic set of self-penned songs - his lyrics tackling a variety of issues, political and social. Alternatively, relive the tartan-clad days with Eric Faulkner’s Bay City Rollers, or if you’re just after a straight rock sound -Rollerhead are available to knock your socks off. And
Jimmy Pursey - charismatic and energetic frontman of Sham 69 has now reformed the band with the original lineup - Jimmy Pursey, Dave Parsons, Dave Tregunna and Mark Cain. Reunion gig planned for London event at The Electric (formerly The Fridge) Brixton on 29th October
d Poly Styrene - Poly burst on stage as a diminutive seventeen year old fronting avant gard punk band X-Ray Spex. On September 6th 2008 Poly performed with newly formed X-Ray Spex at London’s Roundhouse. In March 2011 solo album ‘Generation Indigo’ was released, sadly this was followed a few short weeks later by Poly’s death from cancer on 25th April
Rhoda Dakar and Nick Welsh - Rhoda (AKA Specials) and Nick (Bad Manners) have teamed up to bring all the old favourites from both bands, and others, in a relaxed unplugged, acoustic session. Sometimes they may be joined on stage by any number of friends from other bands - no names in advance, just occasional surprises!
