Thunder have released two live albums: Back To The Black Country and The Xmas Show Live 2013 are both available now from the band’s website.
It’s yet another sign that the rock veterans aren’t quitting – despite frontman Danny Bowes’ best efforts.
He says: “I keep saying I’m supposed to be retired, but nobody’s bloody listening.
“We decided to resurrect our Christmas show concept in 2011 after an incredible gig at the High Voltage festival that summer. After being away for two years it was quite moving to see so many people wearing Thunder shirts in the crowd, singing every word of our set.
“Since then we haven’t managed to get near a studio – but the Christmas shows have just got bigger and bigger, and nuttier and nuttier. Wolverhampton Civic was quite simply off the scale.”
Thunder will appear at the Calling Festival at London’s Clapham Common on June 28 alongside Aerosmith, Joe Bonamassa and Walking Papers, with further acts to be announced.
