WOLVERHAMPTON * LONDON * MANCHESTER

!! WAITING FOR A CONCERT LIKE THIS !!

Foreigner return to the UK for three concerts, their first visit since l995with The Doobie Brothers. Formed in 1976, Foreigner is no stranger toglobal success since their debut self-titled album in 1977 until the presentday. The bands mix of blues, rock and pop has cemented their position asone of the most successful rock acts in the world. Their unique songwritingability spawning hits from the quintessential hard rock of Cold As Ice,Hot Blooded and Urgent through to the heart rending beauty of WaitingFor a Girl Like You and the magnificence of I Want To Know What Love Is.

“I had no idea at the beginning what Foreigner would become,” Mick Jonesreflects. “It’s amazing. Back when I started the band, I was at a crossroadsin my life, whether I was going to carry on in music or get a real job. Sothirty years later, we’ve done pretty well for ourselves. What’s been greatis that I’ve realized that the music has touched a lot of people worldwide.Unwittingly we’ve weaved into the fabric of people’s lives. That our musichas brought a lot of comfort and happiness is one of the best rewards. It’sremarkable when you set out to write the songs you have no idea wherethey’ll lead to.”

Now in 2006, it feels like the first time again! Foreigner is celebratingthe fourth decade with an exciting new line-up led by the groups creativebrainchild, chief songwriter, musician and producer, Mick Jones. The newline-up includes veteran members Jeff Jacobs on keyboards and Tom Gimbel onrhythm guitar, saxaphone and flute PLUS new recruits Jeff Pilson on bass,Jason Bonham on drums and Kelly Hanson taking the vocal helm.

Jeff Pilson is best known for his work with Dokken, whilst Jason Bonham, sonof the late John Bonham of Led Zeppelin, is one of rocks most ferociousdrummers achieving international acclaim with his bands, Bonham and VirginiaWolf. Kelly Hansen, the former frontman for the late ’80s/early ’90sgroup, Hurricane provides a new excitement to the older classic material.

“This new band is really enthusiastic and very committed to reestablishingForeigner as a major force in 2006” says Jones. “We have great musicians inthis line-up plus we have a whole lot of fans that haven’t seen us for along long time. So this is the beginning of a new phase in Foreigner. Ireally feel the strength of the music is in the songs and this band is avery exciting line-up that will definitely deliver it. Plus on a personalnote I am excited to be playing back home in the U.K. , its been too long!”
