Spirit Of Smokie

Om

Oplev Dean Alan Barton, som er søn af den afdøde forsanger i SMOKIE.

Alan Barton løfter arven efter sin far og optræder med entusiasme, friskhed, totalt engagement og åbenlys kærlighed til musikken, der blev skabt af de europæiske SMOKIE. SPIRIT OF SMOKIE er en førsteklasses musikalsk oplevelse, der genskaber den oprindelige lyd fra 70’ernes store æra.

Det skyldes den autentiske sound blandet sammen med de originale kompositioner som: Living Next Door to Alice – Lay Back In The Arms Of Some-One – I’ll Meet You At Midnight – Mexican Girl – og mange flere.

Siden Smokies gennembrud har gruppen ramt de fleste europæiske hitlister adskillige gange op igennem de sene 70’ere med deres opdaterede versioner af psykedelisk rock. Deres hits inkluderer numre som ‘If You Think You Know How to Love Me’, ‘Don’t Play Your Rock ‘n’ Roll to Me’, ‘It’s Your Life’ og ‘Oh Carol’.

Spirit Of Smokie lægger sig så tæt på Smokie, at man må gnide øjne & ører, for at sikrer sig at dette er en kopi!
