Rod Stewart - The Final Encore

A Glasgow concert at the OVO Hydro, billed as Rod Stewart - The Final Encore, with Howard Jones also on the bill. Both are British singers with long careers in rock and pop.

Rod Stewart is a British rock singer whose music draws on pop, blues rock and rhythm and blues. Born in London in 1945, he has been performing since 1961. He sang with the Faces in the early 1970s, and his 1971 album Every Picture Tells a Story, which includes the single Maggie May, is among his best-known records.

Howard Jones is an English pop singer associated with new wave, pop rock and synth-pop. Born in Southampton in 1955, he has been active since 1982, and his 1984 single New Song remains one of his best-known recordings.

The OVO Hydro hosts concerts and shows in Glasgow. This evening is billed as The Final Encore, and the bill pairs a veteran rock frontman with a synth-pop and new wave songwriter whose work dates from the same decade as much of Stewart's later repertoire.
