![]() ![]() The band concentrates on the Live at Leeds era, but their set list contains a majority of the most popular material from The Who’s catalogue from day one until the untimely death of Keith Moon. The Wholigans capture not only the sound and essence of The Who, but could easily pass for the original members of The Who. The new line up consists of Andy Newman (Piano, Woodwind and vocals), Mark Brzezicki (Drums and lead vocals), Josh Townshend (Guitar and vocals), Nick Johnson (Guitar and vocals), Tony Stubbings (Bass Guitar).įor more information on Thunderclap Newman, please visit them on Facebook ![]() His association with the Townshend family is such that he also played in On The Air with Pete's younger brother Simon (and Tony Butler who was also a member of Big Country) during the early 80's and continues that association with Simon's son Josh being in the new lineup of Thunderclap Newman.Īndy Newman says “I have to say I am excited by this new project and I have to say it is fascinating with another member of the Townshend dynasty involved”. He played drums on all Pete Townshends solo albums and was also a member of Procul Harum for 20 years. Mark was a founder member of Big Country. They were very successful and more are being scheduled. The rehearsals impressed everyone involved and it was decided it was time to 'test the water' with a couple of live performances which took place in February. Townshend produced the single, arranged its strings, played its bass under the pseudonym Bijou Drains, and hired for it eccentric GPO engineer and jazz pianist Andy 'Thunderclap' Newman and 15-year-old Glaswegian Jimmy McCulloch.Ī chance conversation between the owner of the relaunched Track Records, Ian Grant, and Andy Newman last year, led to rehearsals with a band that drummer Mark Brzezicki (managed by Grant during their time with Big Country) had put together. In 1969, Pete Townshend, The Who's guitarist, helped create the band to play songs written by former Who roadie, drummer/singer John 'Speedy' Keen. Thunderclap Newman single "Something in the Air", was a 1969 UK Number One hit, remains in demand for television commercials, film soundtracks, and compilations. We are pleased to announce that the following artists will be performing at the 2010 Who Convention!
