Wet Wet Wet to perform in special online event for fans

POP Icons Wet Wet Wet will put on a special performance online for fans this month.

The Clydebank group, fronted by singer Kevin Simm, is set to stream The Journey Out of Lockdown which will go live at 7.30 pm on Saturday, April 17 in association with the charity Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy.

Kevin said: “It’s great just to be able to perform live again even without an audience present – although we would all hugely prefer to see the faces of our fans 2rather than just video cameras in front of us.

“Enjoy the stream and we’re very much hoping that the journey out of lockdown continues so we can see everybody on the road again really soon”.

Wet Wet Wet were first propelled into the spotlight after forming in the early 80s. The band is best known for their 1994 cover of The Troggs’ 1960s hit Love is All Around.

The group also had hits with Wishing I Was Lucky, Sweet Little Mystery, Angel Eyes, and Goodnight

Girl.

Wet Wet Wet also features Tommy Cunningham,

Neil Mitchell and Graeme Clark.

Tommy said: “For live musicians, Covid-19 has all but kidnapped and darkened our stages for the past year. You never realise how much you miss something until it’s not there.

“When the opportunity arose for Wet Wet Wet to do our only live show in lockdown, it was poignant that it was in tandem with the charity Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy.

“Doing the job we all love while trying to shine some light on them has always been important to us.”

Neil added: “Recently, we have all had other things at the forefront of our minds – life and death for some of us, and because of this charitable organisations are not necessarily a priority, so it’s important that we try our best to support these fantastic causes”.

Graeme added: “It hasn’t been easy to join the musical dots of being in a band during the pandemic but re-kindling our musical connection with Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy has enabled us to do just that – make music together.

“By playing this one-off online show, we are reminded just how significant music is in our lives. We hope our music does the same for you.”
