Thunder frontman Danny Bowes and axeman Luke Morley will embark on an extensive 23-date UK tour in November 2021.

The shows will be based around the band mates’ new book ‘Danny & Luke - The First 50 Years (1971-2021)’, which is released in September and tells their story from when they first met at secondary school as young whippersnappers in 1971 to achieving success with Thunder and right up to the present day.

Available to pre-order right here, the first 2000 copies of the cloth bound hard backed book will be numbered and boast a special commemorative book plate signed by Danny and Luke.

The extensive accompanying tour will open at Whitley Bay Playhouse on Monday 1st November 2021 and conclude at East Grinstead Chequer Mead on Monday 29th November 2021.

The unplugged and unscripted show will feature stories from Danny and Luke’s glittering career, couple with frequent bursting into two-man song. Each night will be hosted by esteemed journalist Mick Wall.
