PUNKY MEADOWS – FRANK DIMINO – DANNY FARROW – STEVE OJANE – CHARLIE CALV – BILLY ORRICO
Employing a dazzling mix of glam rock, hard rock, and progressive rock, Angel‘s outrageous, white-satin-heavy image and equally over-the-top stage shows, made them one of the more colourful arena rock bands of the mid-’70s and early ’80s. Discovered by Kiss bass player Gene Simmons, the group issued their eponymous debut album in 1975, which hewed closer to prog rock than the glam pop that would inform future endeavours like On Earth as It Is in Heaven (1977) and Sinful (1979). The group went their separate ways in 1981 but reformed in the late ’90s with a new line-up and released 1999’s In the Beginning. In 2018 Punky and Frank returned with a new ANGEL lineup and in 2019 released Risen.

JOHN CORABI
Journeyman vocalist John Corabi had already been cutting his teeth in the hard rock world for nearly a decade when he landed the high-profile gig of replacing Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil in 1992. Although his tenure with the group proved to be a brief one, Corabi earned a reputation as a go-to frontman and collaborator, amassing a solid résumé as a singer and guitarist with acts like The Eric Singer Project (ESP), Union, and The Dead Daisies.
Throughout the remainder of the decade, Corabi largely split his time between playing with Ratt, Union, and ESP, releasing live albums with the latter two in 2005 and 2007, respectively. Corabi made his solo recording debut in 2012 with the acoustic set Unplugged. In 2015, he joined Australian musician David Lowy’s hard rock supergroup, The Dead Daisies, as lead vocalist, recording their second album, Revolución. Following several tours supporting Kiss throughout Europe and Australia, the band followed up with 2016’s Make Some Noise, which made a strong showing globally and reached number 11 in the U.S. on Billboard’s Top Hard Rock Albums chart. Corabi’s career renaissance continued as The Dead Daisies remained highly visible, turning out a 2017 concert set, Live & Louder, and a studio follow-up, Burn It Down, a year later.
On August 30th, Corabi will be releasing his brand new single “Cosi Bella,” produced and co-written with Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne). “Cosi Bella” is the first of several new singles coming.
ARCHIE DICKSON
Glasgow (the band) early career included supporting bands such as ‘Pallas’, ‘Spider’ (1983), ‘Uriah Heep’ and ‘Nazareth’. They played at the Kelvingrove Festival (1984) in front of an estimated 6000 people and their performance was impressive enough for the band to be offered the headline for the following year.
At Radio Clyde Studios the band recorded a three-track E.P. which not only resulted in healthy sales but also won the support of Tommy Vance (Radio One) and Alan Freeman (Capital). Clyde distributed the record to 46 Radio Stations throughout Great Britain, Europe and U.S.A prompting a great deal of interest in the band’s material.
In addition to the above activities, the band have provided support to acts such as ‘Kiss’, ‘Bon Jovi’ and at the East Kilbride Festival ‘Nazareth’
