The Mighty Poons - Old Grey Whistle Test Rock Night

THE POONS ARE BACK !

What is a Mighty Poon?

Well, it’s not a Mediterranean fishing implement.

It’s a rock band featuring some of the finest musicians in the whole world....well, maybe not the world, but certainly Scotland.

The Mighty Poons, or The Poons, as they have become to be known, was formed in 2005 by late Rupert Black, who was the keyboard legend with such well known bands as The Pretenders, Talk Talk, The Alarm, and David Bell, the singer from Big Vern ‘n’ the Shootahs.

Their idea was to create a band that would allow them to indulge their fantasy of playing their favourite rock songs from the Old Grey Whistle Test years. For those not familiar with TOGWT, it was a 70’s version of Later with Jools Holland, featuring live performances from bands like Led Zeppelin, Focus, The Who, Clapton, Jethro Tull, Argent, Little Feat, Pink Floyd, Emerson Lake and Palmer with many other classics to really take you back in the musical time machine.

It's a pleasure to see the guys back in 2024 to continue the indulgence of some classic music that should never be forgotten and continued to be played LIVE.

So, plundering the musical talent around Glasgow, they found other like minded musicians to bring some classics back to life on stage that you just won't hear anywhere else.

The band deliver a powerful mix of rock music with a set list with the who's who of classic 70's and 80's classics.

If you've caught the guys in the past as they have featured since 2019  then make sure you grab a ticket to see them again - in advance and if you've heard all about it and didn't do anything about it - make sure you make the effort and catch these guys live at the Dreadnought.
