SAXON TO PERFORM ‘DENIM AND LEATHER’ IN ITS ENTIRETY AT LONDON’S KOKO

Due to hit the UK for a string of live shows in December, British metal greats Saxon announced a special treat for the fans attending their London date at Koko, where they will perform one of their most loved albums, Denim and Leather, in its entirety as well as Saxon classics and material from their current album Call To Arms. A mysterious special guest will also join the band on keyboards during the show.


Denim and Leather is Saxon’s fourth studio album and was released in 1981 to become a cherished classic of English heavy metal. The title track was a tribute from the band to their fans, while describing the history of the sub-culture and the rise of NWOBHM. Two of Saxon’s most successful singles, ‘Princess of the Night’ and ‘And the Bands Played on’, are featured on Denim and Leather.
Biff says “it’s the 30th Anniversary of the album and we played it at Sweden Rock and in Tokyo -it's about time we played the album once in UK before the year is over.”
Denim and Leather was the last album with the complete classic Saxon line up. These days, lead vocalist and main man Biff Byford keeps leading the pack and mesmerizing audiences with his energetic performances, joined by Paul Quinn and Doug Scarratt on guitars, Nibbs Carter on bass and Nigel Glockler on drums.
The rest of the UK dates see Saxon performing a mix of old unforgettable heavy metal classics and new material from their successful latest album Call to Arms, with support from Hammerfall on the entire tour.
