They are taking to the stage in Sutton on Thursday 21 November for a night of 70s glam and nostalgia.
Its 50 years since Mud had their first hit record ‘Crazy’ under the guidance of legendary producer Mickie Most and prolific songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman.
This year also marks the half century of the release of ‘Tiger Feet’, which reached No.1 and created a dance craze.
They went on to score three UK number one hits, 11 UK top ten singles and another 15 UK top 40 hits as well as charting in Europe and many other parts of the world.
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 successful songwriter having penned hits for artists including 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 36 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 late Mud singer Les Gray and drummer Dave Mount.
