East 17 play (unintentionally) intimate set
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 30 June 2015
Now, no sniggering at the back thank you very much, just because the reformed East 17 played to 30 people at their recent gig at Dublin’s 800+ capacity The Academy.
What, you didn’t know East 17 were back gigging again? Well, neither Tony Mortimer nor Brian Harvey are involved, so it’s debatable whether they really are, but they do have Robbie Craig on board. Yes, Robbie Craig! Who’d have thought it?
Said one fan in attendance at the recent Dublin show to The Sun: “They looked so ridiculous performing to nobody. Tony Mortimer and Brian Harvey, who sang all their big hits, aren’t with the band any more. So you just have the guys that did the dancing, John Hendy and Terry Coldwell, with a new singer called Robbie Craig”.
Still, as the streaming music market hots up and everyone’s clambering for every exclusive they can grab, it’s good to know East 17 are back in the game. Who wants an East 17 live exclusive? Rara perhaps?
