30th Anniversary Declaration Tour 2014 “Will Never Die”…. are the three words of intent from Mike Peters and The Alarm’s ’Sixty Eight Guns’ evergreen 1983 hit single which was at the centre of the band’s worldwide smash hit album ‘Declaration’ which will celebrate it’s 30th anniversary in 2014. A unique one man band ‘Alarm’ tour by lead singer and songwriter Mike Peters will present the album in a contemporary setting with performance, stories and images to highlight the impact this album had on the decade it was born in and it’s ongoing relevance as Mike Peters continues his personal fight against cancer with the Love Hope Strength cancer charity ‘Saving lives – One Concert At A Time’. Upon release in February 1984, Declaration debuted at number 6 in the UK charts, achieving gold record status before becoming a top 40 hit in the USA.

JOHN OTWAY BIG BAND

2013 was another whirlwind year for Otway. His film " Rock and Roll's Greatest Failure - Otway The Movie " has been playing to packed houses across the country, was shown at Glastonbury and selected for the prestigious Cambridge Film Festival. In the midst of Britain’s ‘70s punk revolution and after a momentous TV appearance where five and a half million viewers watched him land painfully on his testicles, Otway was high in the charts. his next HIT was 25 years later. ‘He's a cabaret act masquerading as a rock act. He is gleeful, anecdotal, funny and life-enhancing.’
