Sweet With Special Guest John Otway

A rock evening at KKs Steel Mill in Wolverhampton, headlined by the British glam rock band Sweet, with John Otway as special guest. The bill also features the London one-man band act Cam Cole.

Sweet formed in London in 1968 and play glam rock, hard rock and bubblegum pop. Signed to Polydor Records, they released their first album, Funny How Sweet Co-Co Can Be, in 1971. In the early 1970s the group placed a run of singles in the UK and European top ten, among them Blockbuster, Hellraiser, Ballroom Blitz, Teenage Rampage and The Sixteens. Their 1975 single Fox on the Run reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, and Gene Simmons of KISS has credited Sweet as a direct influence on his own band.

Cam Cole is a singer, songwriter and busker from London who performs alone as a one-man band, drawing on folk, Delta blues, grunge and rock and roll. He plays on streets as well as in venues, and his videos of street performances have been widely shared online.

KKs Steel Mill hosts concerts and shows in Wolverhampton. John Otway is the special guest on this bill, alongside Sweet, whose records have been a fixture of British pop since the early 1970s.
