As a warm up to theirBournemouth 02 Academy dateon the 18th December Bad

Company will be performing thisintimate show at Mr Kyps. FeaturingRober t Har t as lead vocalist, Bucket Colwell onlead guitar, Jaz Lochrie on Bass and Garry'Harry' James keeping the timing on drums.

Since 1992 Bad Company has been fronted bythe charismatic, multi-talented vocalist /hitsongwriter Rober t Har t. Some rate him the

best rock vocalist of all time but he modestlyrefutes that. He has recorded five Bad Companyalbums and he is a master of song-craft with acatalog of more than 300 recorded songs andhas contribute to more hit songs than anyone.Up front of stage with Bucket, Jazz and Harry he

drives a rockn roll motorthat pumpsout nonstopsets of awe-some musicalenter tain-ment.

The band were formed in the 1970s becom-ing one of the first 'supergroups' (a tradi-tion which continues to this day, Eagles of

Death Metal, A Perfect Circle and VelvetRevolver springing to mind. The band consistedof members from Free, Mott the Hoople, KingCrimson and was managed by Peter Grant (LedZeppelin). As with many 'supergroups', mem-bers interchanged and when Paul Rodgers wentto form The Firm with members of Led Zep andThe Who, Rober t Har t was invited to join BadCompany. As Mick Ralphs (the originator of thebad) stated 'Bad Company is far more impor tantthan any one individual in it' and this hasproven true with the strength of the group com-ing from the impeccable songwriting skills andstrong performances from each and every mem-ber, both present and former.

You can expect a roll call of all the BadCompany classics played with a gusto andenergy that is only possible from perform-

ers with the dedication and experience that thiscollective possess. With over FOUR DECADESwor th of music to choose from Bad Company willfind this show at Mr Kyps the perfect oppor tuni-ty to trial a set list which combines all the hitsand good-time music you would expect in antici-pation of taking to the 02 Academy stage.

Every time we book this show wedo it with the same trepidation.There’s this knowledge that all

good things must come to an end andthat the next show won’t be as good as the last one,or that the attendance is going to plummet becauseof the frequency of their shows, or that the generalpublic’s interest in Queen will wane to the point thatThe Great Pretender just won’t represent a relevantspectacle in the music halls and gig venues up anddown the country. And despite this, every time -that’s 6 shows a year taking in a total of 188 peoplefor the last five years - the show sells out and theatmosphere for the Queen fans in attendance iselectric.

The crowd, they all hailed you and chanted yourname, But they never knew, like we knew, meand you were the same, You fed me, you bred

me, I'll remember your name.” These are the lyricsto the number one smash hit Geno by Dexy’sMidnight Runners, the song whichwas to bring a superstar back to theworld of music. Stationed in the UKwith the United States Air Force, itwas the early 60’s when he firststood upon a stage. Those firstencounters as a stand-in vocalist were the first ofmany, and when guitarist Pete Gage spotted him atone of those shows he knew that this was a man withwhom he wanted to perform. Gage approached Genoand ‘Geno Washington and ‘The Ram Jam Band’ wasformed. Two of the biggest selling albums of the1960’s followed and Geno bought soul music to theUK masses, dubbed by many as the ‘Godfather ofBritish Soul’. He loved the music and sang from hishear t: “Mostly my stuff came from the Stax cata-logue. I’d always tell fans who’d done the original, sothey checked out Otis Reading and Sam and Dave

and all that. But we always said ‘we’re goin’ to do itour way.” Every show is bristling with the energy thatmade him a legend, and he knows how impor tantthat is to his audience: “[you got to] reach out and

excite the crowd even if it meant act-ing crazy and stupid - you wanna gig,you gotta groove. They paid for thetickets and you have to enter tainthem” And enter tain them he does.His long hiatus was brought to and

end with the release of Dexy’s song, and soon afterits release he was back in his rightful place, on stageenter taining those who love soul and want a boogie.“ Soul music?! If you want your par ty to be jumping,you can’t beat it.’ He’s right as well, this really is agreat gig - if you know Geno and his music, it’severything you could hope for; if you’re a newcomerlooking for a night of smooth bass and guitar, wailingsax and trumpet, played over a rockin back-beatfrom the drums and all wrapped up in theuproarious style of a soul master, well - yougot it.
