Music News MonthlyNews, Reviews and Interviews After releasing their debut album “Invisible Confetti” in September 2024, The Guilty Men announce their first UK tour with 8 dates in December. The first single ‘Susan’s Back Drinking’ comes with a video by award winning film director Nigel Dick (Britney Spears, Band Aid, Oasis, R.E.M, Cher, Paul McCartney, Tears for Fears etc). ‘Susan’s Back Drinking’ was featured as ‘Single of The Week’ on over 50 UK radio stations and the band’s debut album went Top 50 on the Amazon rock chart. The days of the Supergroup may be long past… but The Guilty Men would surely qualify for that description! Between them, they have played over 10,000 gigs on planet Earth, recorded thousands of songs and made countless radio and TV appearances. To say they’re experienced would be an understatement!
In 2021, Clive Gregson (Any Trouble) and Neil Cossar (The Cheaters) sat down to write some songs together. Several weeks and quite a few songs later, they decided to expand the enterprise from a songwriting workshop to a full blown band. Clive recruited keyboardist Jez Smith and bassist Craig Fletcher from John Lees’ Barclay James Harvest… and the lineup was completed with the addition of legendary drummer, Paul Burgess, who has played with 10cc since 1973. They named the band The Guilty Men… and headed into the recording studio. Cut to 2024… and The Guilty Men’s debut album “Invisible Confetti” is ready to roll. 13 brand new songs recorded in the old-fashioned way: everybody playing live in the studio, intent on catching the moment. Most of the songs were laid down in no more than 2 or 3 takes… and with four featured lead vocalists, the album covers a lot of musical bases. “Invisible Confetti” rocks… with nods to Americana, country, folk, pop, psychedelia… it’s an exhilarating ride from start to finish. All aboard! The Guilty Men are: Paul Burgess (10cc, Jethro Tull, The Icicle Works, Camel etc) Neil Cossar (The Cheaters) Craig Fletcher (John Lees’ Barclay James Harvest) Clive Gregson (Any Trouble, Gregson & Collister, Richard Thompson, Nanci Griffith) Jez Smith (John Lees’ Barclay James Harvest) TOUR DATES, DECEMBER 2024 Dec 5th, 2024: Whittles, Oldham www.whittlesoldham.com Dec 6th, 2024: The Globe, Glossop www.theglobeglossop.co.uk Dec 8th, 2024: The Greystones, Sheffield www.mygreystones.co.uk Dec 12th, 2024: The Hare & Hounds, Birmingham https://hareandhoundskingsheath.co.uk Dec 14th, 2024: The Ropery Hall, Barton on Humber https://roperyhall.co.uk Dec 15th, 2024: Artisan Tap, Stoke-on-Trent www.facebook.com/artisantaphartshill Dec 18th, 2024: The Hug & Pint, Glasgow www.thehugandpint.com Dec 19th, 2024: Cluny 2, Newcastle upon Tyne https://thecluny.com Comments are closed.
