BCSWEET

Brian Connolly was the face and voice of glam rock legends The Sweet since their formation in the late sixties until his departure at the end of the seventies. Brian subsequently formed his own version of The Sweet and throughout the eighties and early nineties BC Sweet toured Europe continually playing to bigger and bigger crowds as the seventies revival took hold. In Germany, where The Sweet had scored their biggest success during their chart years, Brian Connolly was unstoppable, playing to tens of thousands of people - a true hero of an era. Sadly, Brian passed away on February 9th, 1997 after a long illness. The band decided to continue, as a lasting tribute to Brian Connolly.

The BCSweet of today  has an incredible heritage. Each member of the band brings a unique contribution in style, approach and sound. The show is packed full of The Sweet’s hits from beginning to end, guaranteed to rock the crowd! *The Ballroom Blitz * Wig-Wam Bam * Little Willy * Co-Co * Love Is Like Oxygen * Blockbuster * Teenage Rampage * The Sixteens * Poppa Joe * Hellraiser * Fox On The Run* & Many Many More!!!!
