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

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,
