Mud

TV's Over Presents...

It’s over fifty years since glamrockers Mud had their first hit record ‘Crazy’ under the guidance of legendary producer Mickie Most and song-writers Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. They went on to score 3 UK number 1s, 11 UK top 10s and 15 UK top 40s as well as big hits in Europe, Scandinavia and many other parts of the world.

Today, the band still has two surviving original members, ROB DAVIS and RAY STILES…(other originals Les Gray and David Mount having passed away). Rob has become a very successful songwriter having penned various number one hits for many artists including, most notably, Kylie Minogue (Can’t Get You Out Of My Head) and Sophie Ellis Bexter (Groovejet). Ray has been a member of the HOLLIES for the past thirty six years and still tours with them, playing sell-out shows in Australia, New Zealand, America, Europe, Scandinavia..and also the UK.

The line-up of the band is completed by KEITH READ (guitar), IAN PARKER (keyboards) and PAUL CASTLEMAN on drums. Paul is a studio musician and a long time friend of Rob and Ray. Keith doubles on guitar with Rob and shares vocal duties with Ray. Ian is also a long established member of the HOLLIES and provides the additional musical arrangements found on original Mudrecords.

The band still creates an element of fun in their shows with interesting anecdotes from its past. The set consists of 15 faithful reproductions of classic Mud hits.
