UK Tour 2023: London 100 Club
“Fantastic gig. A 40 yr wait over. You guys were brilliant. The Room smashed it too. Thank you Thank you.” Chris Chapman
“FAB Band in a Legendary Venue!! 39 yrs since the last time…what an amazing night!! Looking forward to the new album and tour!!” Alan on Twitter
“About last night… Red Guitars played a storming set and then brought on a special guest for the first encore. Elton John wasn’t available, so they had to make do with me. The biggest of thanks to the guys for asking me to join them onstage. It really, really meant a lot.” Roger Millington
“Superb performance last night guys! Brought back so many memories of when I last saw you when I was at Hull University back in the early eighties. Such a delight to watch a band who are obviously having a blast on stage and enjoying every minute!” Mark Lewis
“Euphoric version of this encore favourite last night, as the gig buddy I’d been talking to at this and previous Red Guitars shows disappeared from my side just before the encore, then was surprisingly called onto stage! He hadn’t mentioned a word to me about this happening (apparently it’s just because I didn’t ask!) but still fabulous so I won’t hold that against him! And hope the band don’t mind me posting this, given the lovely circumstances….” Tim Bourne, 100 Club
“Fabulous night thank you. Enjoyed the new material. Hallam was outstanding.” Virtual Virgil London
“Cracking show at the 100 club last night – thank you! I did my homework and listened to Slow to Fade the evening before – I had forgotten what a great LP it is. I would have worn my Czeck It Out T-shirt but it seems to have shrunk over the years…” David Woodhouse
“Two words keep reappearing about this tour – smiling and joy. Thanks for making the world a brighter place.” Mikey
“Another fantastic gig and thumbs up to the new tracks, especially the one with a bit of a Spaghetti Western and dub aura.” Neil March, London
“39 years since I last saw Red Guitars FAB to see them again playing most of Slow to Fade Album and some cracking new choonz at 100 Club, London.” Alan Wareham
“Just popped in from the other place to say thank-you to Red Guitars for a marvellous gig at 100 Club London – 40 years feels like a long time to wait to see a band…but it was fantastic and joyful.” Martin G
“100 club was a great setting for an amazing gig. Music still as fresh and relevant as ever. New tracks sounded amazing. Looking forward to the new album. The Room smashed it too!” Chris Chapman
“That was absolutely bloody awesome. The new songs sound fantastic, can’t wait for the new album to come out.” Ian Colquhoun, London

Here We Go 2023!
It’s our first band get together of 2023 tonight, here we go 2023! A big thank you to everyone who followed us in 2022 and a special high five to everyone who came to see us on our tour. It was beyond our dreams to get back together. The ball is rolling now, and we’re excited about our plans for 2023. Come and join the adventure and see where it takes us! 
Red Guitars at The 100 Club London 2022
A massive thank you to everyone who came to our Slow to Fade 2022 tour. It’s been a joyous adventure, and the response has been unexpectedly amazing for us. Our show at the legendary 100 Club in London’s Oxford Street was sold out and crammed with people dancing and singing along, teeming with friends old and new.
Thanks to the team at the venue and a special thanks to sound engineer Pascal who did a superb job for us, we had a great sound which made for a great atmosphere for us on stage.
So, here we are, all the original band back together for our Slow to Fade tour, Hallam Lewis, Jeremy Kidd, John Rowley, Matt Higgins and Lou Duffy-Howard, joined in 2022 by Jos Allen and Doug Swallow.

Thank you to everyone who sent us lovely messages on social media and reviews here’s a few:
“So much joy in the room for @RedGuitars at the @100clubLondon last night. Uplifting to see brilliant musicians playing together again after 38 years. Slow to fade, as the song says.” John Pullman
“Friday evening with the fabulous Red Guitars at The 100 Club. I had waited 35 years for this tour and they did not disappoint!” Rob Telford
“I’m at a gig – a real live gig with Red Guitars and they are rocking!” Liz Treacher
“What an extraordinary bunch of musicians @RedGuitars. I will need my jaw rewiring after watching that. Utterly joyous. I am 17 again.” Steve M
“You were absolutely brilliant. Overwhelmingly so. (I NEARLY plucked up the courage to speak to you in the audience during the support but didn’t want to intrude). Thank you so much. Seeing you again 38! years after Coventry Poly meant a lot. Heartbeat Go!!” PeteM.
“Wonderful to see Red Guitars in London last night. Absolutely loved it! I was 17 when I first saw them and I felt 17 again. Hoping to see them in 2060, if not (preferably) before!” Andrew Hook
“Last night was one of those ‘moments’. A band that clearly meant a lot to people, sonically and politically. And the lyrics are so fresh still. Shaken not Stirred, Good Technology, Sting in the Tale, chillingly spot on. Am still buzzing.” Steve Morgan
“Wow guys what an extra special treat to see you at the 100 club last night I had the best fun, thank you best wishes to all from David”
“I knew you were good. I didn’t realise after 38 years away it could still be THAT good. Such an intricate sound, yet so accessible. Great onstage chemistry, too.”
“Red Guitars on top form at The 100 Club last night. I described Brighton as brilliant, and this was better than Brighton.“ Roger Millington
“Two absolutely stunning gigs – last week in Manchester and last night in London. Please don’t leave it another 38 years until your next tour… ‘cos I might be getting on a bit by then.” David Gibson
“Amazing night at @100clubLondon with stellar sets by @RedGuitars @FragileCreatures. Great to meet the amazing Lou @LoudhailerUK in person & what a bass guitarist she is. Lovely to see Adam & Neville again & what a great audience.” Neil March
Another full house and belting show for @RedGuitars this time at the 100 Club in London.” Phil Ascough
“I’ve waited 40 years! And I was not disappointed… such a brilliant show full of energy and just the best music!” Tia K Iqbal
“Magnificent gig in London last night.” Keith Phillips
“A stunning evening and nearly forty years after I first saw you live you’ve just got even better. Oh and I even got to replace the t-shirt I lost many years ago.” Simon Maurice
“Fantastic night. Looked like the band were all having a great night too playing a superb set. Thanks.” Darren Lewis
“Thank you for last night, I really enjoyed it. I never thought I’d get the chance to see you live. I’ve loved your music for 35 years and I still play your albums now. Thanks again.” Peter Lane
“It’s not an exaggeration to say I have waited nearly forty years to see you play live. And I was not disappointed.” Gary Couzens
“An iconic band playing an iconic venue, it was pure magic.” Simon Higgins
“… to the unbridled joy of a packed venue, they surge into a scintillating rendition of Marimba Jive, Hallam’s South African inspired guitar figures playing off against Lou’s sumptuous sliding fretless bassline. It takes seconds to establish that Jerry has lost nothing of the power and distinctive character in his voice and the band have lost nothing of their interlocking groove-making chemistry… ” Trust the Doc
Here’s Transistor Bassman’s video of Good Technology at The 100 Club. Keep watching for more clips of the set:
A big thanks to Steve Homer at AEG Presents for inviting us to reform for this tour. The AEG reps at every gig have been brilliant. We have truly had an absolute ball! Here’s to what comes next…
