In Concert

Alan Barton, former frontman of Smokie tragically died in March 1995 as a result of an accident involving the band's tour bus. 2008 saw his son Dean Barton reunite with Andy Whelan (Alan's song writing partner and guitarist on his solo work). In the years prior to his death (1993 to 1995) they were working on material for his second solo album; a follow up to the successful top 10 album 'Precious'. Due to his untimely death the Album was never completed.

Over a decade later Dean and Andy decided to finish the project together with Graham Kearns (Alan Silson Band) and Neil Ferguson (Smokies record producer). The album features a catalogue of songs written and sung by the late Alan Barton, Musicians who were friends of Alan (including Alan Silson, original Smokie Guitarist) were brought forward to play on the album.

The band is now touring the album and performing the greatest hits of the original 'Smokie' line up throughout Europe and Asia - to great acclaim!
