Glasgow born rocker Davey Pattison will perform at Hard Rock Café in the city centre on February 17.

Mr Pattison, described by record producer Shel Talmy as “one of rock’s very best lead vocalists”, will be performing alongside his new rock and blues band, The Davey Pattison Band.

Born and bred in Glasgow's Tradeston district, Mr Pattison's music is influenced by his upbringing.

He said: "Playing the Hard Rock Café on Saturday will be like a homecoming gig for me. I'll never stop singing and the band I have with me just now really can rock.

"They have almost blown the roof off venues all over Scotland when we’ve been performing.

“I must have played most of the clubs and bars in Glasgow when I was starting out my musical career and I’m just as excited now for Saturday than I was back then.”

He gained recognition as the frontman and lead singer of Ronnie Montrose's rock group Gamma, The Robin Trower Band, as well as playing with guitarist Michael Schenker.

Since leaving Scotland to front Montrose's new band in 1979, Mr Pattison has spent four decades touring the world, performing in concert halls, arenas, and stadiums.

His career high point came in 1982 when he performed to a crowd of more than 80,000 fans at California's Oakland Coliseum as Gamma’s frontman.

He began his musical journey at The Burns Cottage bar in Glasgow during the 60s, playing with the legendary house band, The Bards.

He later played guitar and bass with other bands of that era like Crusade, Shard, Sunday, and Findo Gask, before being invited to San Francisco to sing with Gamma.

Now back in Scotland, Mr Pattison is eagerly anticipating his upcoming gig.

Reflecting on being labelled as one of rock's best lead vocalists by Mr Talmy, he said: "I really appreciate what he said about me after I’d worked on many recording sessions with him.

"Coming from someone as respected as Shel Talmy, I’ll take that, thank you very much."

The Davey Pattison Band’s performance will take place as part of the Rock ‘n’ Blues All-Dayer at the Hard Rock Café, Glasgow's Buchanan Street.

Other bands set to perform include Kossoff – The Band Plays On, Jason Sweeney Band, Back Street Crawler, and Lonehead.
