They may not be young dudes anymore but 70s glam rock band Mott the Hoople are as excited about playing live again as they were starting out 40 years ago.
The band, best known for classic tracks Roll Away The Stone and All The Young Dudes, are warming up for five nights at the Apollo in London with two sell out gigs in the rather less famous Blake Theatre in Monmouth last night and tonight.
The original members of Mott - keyboard player Verden Allen, drummer Dale Griffin, lead singer Ian Hunter, who is now seventy, SEVENTY, guitarist Mick Ralphs and bassist Pete Overend Watts - all originate from Hereford and the Welsh borders and played together in the Blake Theatre on Friday for the first time in 36 years.
The band, which made eight albums during their five-and-a-half year existence, announced in January 2009 it would be performing a string of 40th anniversary reunion gigs.
