Former Gillan guitarist Bernie Tormé to play Bilston
Guitar legend, Bernie Tormé of Gillan fame, will be playing Bilston's Robin 2 on April 6 to coincide with the release of his brand new triple album Dublin Cowboy.
While a member of Gillan, Bernie wrote and played on four top ten albums and many hit singles, including Gillan's biggest selling singles, New Orleans and Trouble.
Bernie then stepped in for Ozzy Osbourne in the aftermath of guitar legend Randy Rhoads' tragic death before going on to front his own band.
The triple-disc Dublin Cowboy was made following a successful pledge-fund appeal that hit its pledge target in less than nine hours. 'Dublin Cowboy' is officially released on April 7
Bernie said that: "I always wanted to do a triple album and also an acoustic album, and combining the two seemed like the obvious idea though truth is it nearly killed me: I'm still in recovery! But on top of all that, and with two albums of screaming wails and dive-bombs, I am totally knocked out with how the shred-free acoustic album has been received. Fans who pledged and have heard it absolutely love it!"
