About this concert
SWEET are a National Treasure, British at the core and a Rock Music Phenomena that has taken every continent by storm for more than five decades. The Golden Thread that links the past through to the present and into the future is Andy Scott. His determination to maintain high standards with the band’s musical legacy and touring is legendary. The band today has an illustrious pedigree recreating “live” the high energy and soaring vocals associated with the Sweet sound that is the band’s trademark. SWEET are Paul Manzi – Lead vocals. Bruce Bisland – Drums and Vocals. Lee Small – Bass Guitar and Vocals. Andy Scott – Guitar and Vocals. Born in 1976, THE BABYS took on the classic rock world with a full-stage musical experience, giving rise to what quickly came to be known as their ‘signature sound’. THE BABYS had several Billboard chart-climbers that helped launch them into world-wide recognition, carving out their permanent place in music history. THE BABYS have been back at it since2012 – delivering a live show packed with a musical journey of timeless hits including “Head First”, “Midnight Rendezvous”, “Dying Man”, “World In A Bottle”, and so many more! Time you see THE BABYS live!

The Babys Biography
The Babys are a rock group best known for their songs “Isn’t It Time” and “Every Time I Think of You“. Both songs reached #13 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in the late 1970s. The 1976–1978 Babys line-up consisted of keyboardist/guitarist Michael Corby, vocalist/bassist John Waite, drummer Tony Brock and guitarist Wally Stocker.
After Corby left the band in August 1978, a replacement was sought and the company brought in two musicians: Jonathan Cain as keyboardist and Ricky Phillips to take over as bassist. From 1979 until the breakup in 1981, The Babys line-up consisted of vocalist Waite, drummer Brock, bassist Phillips, guitarist Stocker, and keyboardist Cain.
After the breakup, John Waite went on to produce a major solo hit, “Missing You“, and continues to be a solo artist today. Jonathan Cain left to join Journey. John Waite, Jonathan Cain and Ricky Phillips formed Bad English in the late 1980s. Ricky Phillips currently plays for Styx. Wally Stocker and Tony Brock (together and separately) worked with Rod Stewart and other mainstream artists including Elton John, Air Supply, Keith Urban and Humble Pie.
In late 2012, auditions were held to find suitable replacements for the departed members. Joining original Babys Tony Brock and Wally Stocker, are John Bisaha (Lead Vocals/Bass) and Joey Sykes (Guitars). The new lineup have played numerous shows over the past year to great crowds and reviews – while pushing forward with new music to be brought to The Babys FANS – who have been sorely neglected low these many years! The new album – I’ll Have Some of That – was released worldwide on June 24, 2014.
Joining The Babys onstage are “The Babettes’ – Holly Bisaha and Elisa Chadbourne, along with current keyboardist Louis Middleton. Previous keyboardists have included Francesco Saglietti and Brian Johnson.
The Babys bring a full sound and look that has not been seen on the ‘scene’ in MANY years!
