Bad Company

In the organizer's words:

The two former Bad Company members Robert Hart (singer) and Dave Colwell (guitarist) take you on a breathtaking rock'n'roll rollercoaster ride with the songs of the legendary band Bad Company.

They celebrated great success with Bad Company. Their albums reached the top 5 of the album charts in the UK and the USA. Many of their singles and songs, including "Bad Company", "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love", "Ready For Love" (1974), "Feel Like Makin' Love", "Shooting Star" (1975), "Burnin' Sky" (1977) and "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy" (1979), "If You Need Somebody" (1990) are still staples in the Bad Company Legacy concert program today. Look forward to the classic Bad Company hits, played the way they were meant to be played!

Bad Company was founded in London in 1973 by singer Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke (both formerly of Free), guitarist Mick Ralphs (formerly of Mott the Hoople) and bassist Boz Burrell (formerly of King Crimson). Peter Grant, who also managed the rock band Led Zeppelin, was also in charge of Bad Company. They sold over 40 million albums worldwide and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Robert Hart was approached by Mick Ralphs and Simon Kirke to join Bad Company as a singer after Paul Rodgers and Brian Howe. For seven years between 1994 and 2001, Robert Hart was the lead singer of Bad Company in their classic rock era and was involved in the albums "Company of Strangers" and "Stories Told and Untold", as well as three live albums. In March 2020, he toured Germany with "Rock meets Classic" featuring Alice Cooper. He also played with Kenny Jones from the Faces in the Jones Gang for many years and is currently a member of Manfred Mann's Earthband.

Dave Colwell was guitarist with Bad Company for twelve years and a member of Humble Pie for several years, contributing to their album "Back on Track", where he also recorded, wrote and produced several songs. In 1990, Dave Colwell joined Bad Company as guitarist at the request of Mick Ralphs. Their subsequent tour in support of the album "Holy Water" was one of the five best-selling tours of 1991. The singles "If You Needed Somebody", the title track "Holy Water" and "Walk Through Fire" from the album "Holy Water" were extremely successful and placed several times in the Top 5. Dave Colwell recorded the Bad Company albums "Here Comes Trouble", "What You Hear Is What You Get", "Company of Strangers" and "Stories Told and Untold", co-composing the latter two. This was followed in 2002 by the album "Merchants of Cool", which he released together with Paul Rodgers.

Robert Hart and Dave Colwell have toured the world with Bad Company, including the USA and Canada. On their current European tour, the two will be accompanied by Pat Davey on bass, known from Paul Young and Cregan & Co, as well as John Lingwood, known as the drummer of Manfred Mann's Earthband and Roger Chapman & The Shortlist.
