Tygers Of Pan Tang

Tygers of Pan Tang are a British rock band that grew out of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, performing at The Live Rooms in Chester.

Tygers of Pan Tang emerged from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, and Robb Weir has led the group since its first album, Wild Cat. The original line-up released four albums on MCA Records, but it lost Jess Cox, who left to run Neat Records, and John Sykes, who later joined Thin Lizzy and enjoyed multi-million-selling success with Whitesnake. The original line-up did not survive the commercial success of The Cage.

Weir formed a fresh version of the band to perform the older repertoire and write songs for a new chapter. Drummer Craig Ellis and vocalist Jack Meille have worked together for longer than the original members did. Huw Holding, who previously worked with Blitzkrieg, Avenger and Holosade, joined on bass for the album Bloodlines, and John Foottit is the most recent guitarist. The group has released three studio albums and one live album on Mighty Music, has recorded another studio record, and continues to tour across Europe and South America.

The Live Rooms in Chester hosts concerts and shows, and this concert brings the band to the venue. Weir has said he feels as confident in the current line-up as he did when Wild Cat was released.
