Start Time: 7.30pm

Having read so many biographies over the years one finds it hard to believe any of this could have happened within such a short space of time. Having begun my career in 1964 at the age of 15, I found myself in the middle of a bunch of musicians all trying to find their way at the same time. Most of them became close friends and the heroes we still speak about right up until now. Every UK tour we do becomes a fine reminder of so many great times spent together in the cities and towns in which we play. Come share some memories again in September and October.”
TERRY REID

In 1968, when Terry Reid was only 18, Aretha Franklin remarked that “there are only three things happening in England: The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and Terry Reid.” Firmly on the radar of those in the know back in those halcyon days, he still is, several decades later.

Reid’s teenage years found him touring with The Rolling Stones (including their fabled 1969 American tour), Cream, Jethro Tull and Fleetwood Mac, as well as playing prestige slots at festivals such as Isle of Wight and Glastonbury. The story of him having to turn down Jimmy Page to front Led Zeppelin and recommending that he check out a certain other young singer who had recently supported him instead has become legendary. (Jimmy Page and Robert Plant discuss Terry in the new Led Zeppelin documentary ‘Becoming Led Zeppelin’

Already a singer of some repute, Reid’s soulful voice and powerful vocal range also earned him the nickname ‘Superlungs’ following his recording in 1969 of the Donovan song ‘Superlungs My Supergirl’ that opened his self-titled second album.
