On July 12, the legendary British band Smokie will perform at the Alexela Concert Hall
On July 12, one of the most legendary, successful and beloved British rock bands, Smokie, will visit the Alexela Concert Hall. The band will soon celebrate its 60th anniversary. During its activity, the band has released 26 albums, more than 30 singles and sold more than 30 million copies of albums, and also earned several gold and platinum certificates.
Many of the songs by Smokie have long since become true classics, and at least three generations of listeners grew up on them - these are "Don't Play Your Rock'N'Roll To Me", "I Can't Stay Here Tonight", "If You Think You Know How To Love Me", "Needless and Pins", "For a Few Dollars More", "Mexican Girl", "I'll Meet You at Midnight", "Oh Carol", "What Can I Do", not to mention the party hits "Living Next Door To Alice".
Currently, Smokie consists of five members: Steve Pinnell (drums), Mick McConnell (guitar), Pete Lincoln (vocals), Martin Bullard (keyboards) and Luke Bullard (bass guitar).
Despite the fact that the group's biography is marked by many painful and even tragic events, today the musicians, like never before, experience an unquenchable passion for their music, and constant concert tours across all continents only prove that the music of "Smokie" is immortal.
