Mick McConnell, has for almost 30 years been a full-time member of the legendary Bradford band ‘Smokie’ in the role as lead guitarist.

However, it’s his side project ‘Mick McConnell & Blue Thunder’ that’s now causing a bit of a stir for him on the music scene.

His rip-roaring melodic guitar playing, along with his infectious Blues/Rock tunes he has written, have certainly come to the attention of music venues, promotors and audiences alike – with one review saying “He’s not a borrower, these are his his own riffs” being one that Mick is rightfully proud of.

Mick McConnell & Blue Thunder continue to build on their successes of 2024, by embarking on their first UK Tour commencing in January and running into February 2025.

Mick’s solo album “Under My Skin” reached number 13 in the European Blues Charts, and he’s also had credible interviews in Blues in Britain, and various other European Blues Scene magazines.

He’s fortunate enough to have joined the “One Billion Club” on a PLAYLIST that featured his track “Holdin On”

Mick recently stated “My band are nice guys, and boy can they groove”

Band Members:
Mick McConnell – Guitar and Lead Vocals
Lincoln Roth – Bass Guitar
Tsutomu “Atom” Abe – Keyboards
Bob Pears – Drums
Donna Thompson – Backing Vocals

Gary Ryan the undisputed No.1 tribute to Neil Diamond in the UK. In the mid 90’s, Gary applied for and gained a place on the popular TV series “Stars In Their Eyes” as Neil Diamond!

He won his heat and went on to appear in the first ever “live” grand final of that same TV series.

He came a proud second place in the final, and at the time there was a dispute in the media of telephone lines “failing” due to the unprecedented response from the public. 13 million viewers were reported to have tuned into the program that evening, a night Gary and the rest of the finalist’s of that series will never forget! After his appearance on Stars In Their Eyes, Gary went on to work all over the World portraying one of his favourite Singer / Songwriters.

He also joined the original line up of “Legends” show, which then was called, “The Great Legends Of Rock”. As time has proven this became a very popular show and Gary carried on performing in the “Legend’s” in UK theatre’s, two tours of New Zealand and all around Europe, at corporate event’s also in front of celebrity audiences and Royalty alike. He was even asked to sing “personally” to Ivana Trump on one occasion! More recently Gary is a regular for the major cruise lines including P&O, Royal Caribbean and Thomson Cruises.

With far too many hits to choose from, here are a few of the songs from the show: America, Cracklin’ Rosie, Cherry Cherry, Song Sung Blue, I’m A Believer, Back In L.a. Beautiful Noise, Soolaimon, Love On The Rocks, Hello Again, Desire, Red Red Wine, September Morn, Forever In Blue Jeans, Sweet Caroline, I Am I Said, and Many More…

Big Ted Promotions presents CUD + Indignation Meeting

Leeds based indie-rockers return to Bradford after a gap of almost 35 years West Yorkshire favourites Cud make a long-awaited return to Bradford, having last visited the city and playing to a sold out crowd at Queens Hall, all the way back in September 1990.

Emerging from the same art/design cauldron that produced fellow Leeds legends Soft Cell, Scritti Politti, and The Mekons, CUD were the pre-Britpop answer to doleful shoegazing bands – fun- loving, light-hearted, romantic and downright catchy.

Alternatively loved or loathed like a yeast extract, CUD are indie rock for the unpretentious pleasure seeker, boasting as they do the rich deep-lunged voice of Carl Puttnam, edgy guitars of Mike Dunphy and tight, funky rhythm section of William Potter, bass and Gogs Byrn, drums.

CUD were initially lauded for their quirky Peel session cover of ‘You Sexy Thing’ in 1987. They soon built up a huge live following and buffed up their repertoire with a string of unstraight pop beauties, best exemplified by the 1990 album ‘Leggy Mambo’. This led to a major-label deal with A&M in 1991, front-page NME coverage, massive sellout gigs and proper Top 30 hits, ‘Rich and Strange’ and ‘Purple Love Balloon’.

Misunderstood by record companies and press, CUD packed away their guitars and sticks in 1995 but, bolstered by a greatest hits anthology (‘Rich and Strange’) in 2006, they agreed to tread the boards again, with a further reunion following in 2012 (now with original guitarist and key songwriter Mike Dunphy) they continue to find an army of ‘Space CUDets’ still eager to sing along, dance like fruitcakes and invade their stage.
