Cregan & Co

THE ROD STEWART SONGBOOK

Saturday 16 April 7.30pm

Tickets £15.00 (£13.00 concs)

Cregan & Co are a hugely entertaining and talented band fronted by Rod Stewart’s guitarist, fellow songwriter, producer and musical director, Jim Cregan. It’s an evening of great music from the Rod Stewart songbook, as well as featuring other hits that Jim has written over the years with other rock stars.  Jim joined Rod Stewart’s band in 1977 and became his music director, co-producer and co-writer.  He co-wrote some of Rod Stewart’s greatest hits including Passion, Tonight I’m Yours and Forever Young. Jim also co-wrote Brighton Beach which was on Rod’s 2013 album Time and released as a single that same year. Jim was guitarist with Family and Cockney Rebel and he’s responsible for the iconic acoustic guitar break in Cockney Rebel’s Come Up and See Me (Make Me Smile).  He has worked as a writer, producer and musician with many rock and pop stars including Art Garfunkel, Ronnie Wood, Ringo Starr, Elton John, Willie Nelson, Tina Turner, Cat Stevens, Joe Cocker, Katie Melua and Lulu. The show features the excellent Ben Mills (former X Factor finalist) on vocals and guitar who now firmly puts his own stamp on some of Rod Stewart’s biggest hits alongside the man who wrote them.

“If you can’t afford my tickets go see these guys – they’re just as good and half the price!”  Rod Stewart    http://www.creganandco.com http://www.jimcregan.com/Credits.html
