THE British rock group, Smokie, will be touring South Africa this month as part of their world tour - a celebration of Smokie's 30 years in the entertainment industry. They will be performing at the Grand Arena at Grand West Casino on October 3 at 20:00.

After two very successful cover albums, Smokie has returned to song-writing on their new studio album "On the Wire". According to bass player Terry Uttley, a founder and member of almost 30 years, Smokie has never been in better shape than now. For the first time in many years, Smokie has released a studio album with their own material. The album, On the Wire, marks the beginning of a strong new pe?riod for the band, which refuses to sit back and stop developing despite almost 30 years in the business. As the only original band member out of the five current members, he has been on board since the beginning, in 1975, when Smokie still called themselves Smokey and released the debut album Pass It Around.

The band consists of Mike Craft (lead vocals, guitar), Terry Uttley (backing vocals, bass), Mick McConnell (backing vocals, lead guitar), Martin Bullard (keyboard) and Steve Pinnell (drums and percussion).
