Still gigging across the world, the band’s success and longevity is unprecedented in British entertainment history.

The Cresset show will fall 45 years to the week when the single was first released – the song was a new entry in the Top 40 at number 22 on the week ending 5th June 1976

Currently enjoying a huge renaissance after the showing of the band’s critically acclaimed biography ‘Everything’ on BBC on August 7th, then new fans as well as old fans have been showing their support for the band.

In addition, the band have released a ‘new’ single – a song that was recorded originally back in 1976 but has never seen the light of day before. Called ‘Someone ought to write ‘a song about you’ – it has already had over 50,000 views on youtube.

Early Bird Tickets for the show are on sale now at £26.50 from the Cresset Box Office - 01733 265705 or www.cresset.co.uk
