Posted on September 5, 2022 by andynathan

Gig review: CHEAP TRICK – The Forum, London, 27 June 2017

Posted on July 15, 2017 by andynathan

The term ‘cult act’ is widely used, but applies more than most to Cheap Trick, at least in the UK. In a distinguished career of over 40 years they only once troubled the top 40 singles charts, and yet their … Continue reading →
