Smokie – The Legacy Tour

Smokie is now experiencing a new spring, playing in all the biggest and finest arenas, and has fantastic ticket sales. This is the eternally popular band that first broke through in Norway with "If you think you know how to love me" in 1975 and which the following year was on the charts for a full 33 weeks with the smash hit "Living next door to Alice".
They continued to deliver big hits and bestsellers until well into the 90s, and they are the band that has been on the VG list the longest, with the Beatles as a good second. Since then, Smokie has almost become part of the Norwegian language. Whether you like them or not, everyone knows who they are and knows some of their songs. They have a large and very loyal audience in large parts of the world.

Since recently, bassist Terry Uttley has unfortunately passed away. He has been replaced by Luke Bullard, son of keyboardist Martin Bullard. Luke has been a regular substitute for Terry for the past four years and is therefore already well known to many Smokie fans. Martin Bullard, along with drummer Steve Pinnell, has been in Smokie since 1988. Last year, Mike Craft chose to step down after being the vocalist for 26 years, and he has been replaced by a very good old friend of the band, Pete Lincoln. Pete has been the frontman of famous bands such as Sweet and Sailor, and worked with several big international stars such as Sir Cliff Richard, Tina Turner and Shakin Stevens. Mick McConnell plays guitar and mandolin, and has done so since 1996. This group played their first concerts in Helsingborg and Malmö in November 2021, to two full houses and an enthusiastic audience. Many believe that the band has never been better than it is now.

Norway is still one of the countries that means the most to them, and that is why they continue to come back here to meet their enthusiastic audience, year after year. They have sold almost two million records in Norway alone and with them in their luggage they have all the good, old songs, as well as some newer material.
