Bassist from The Moody Blues announces Milton Keynes show

John Lodge, bass player, songwriter & vocalist of The Moody Blues and recent inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, is coming to Milton Keynes.

The date is part of a tour in support of his Lodge’s Live tour CD/DVD - John Lodge:  Live From Birmingham – The 10,000 Light Years Tour, and his Live from Birmingham album (2017) both recorded in his hometown.

The show features his classic Moody Blues hits together with a selection of solo work from the studio album 10,000 Light Years Ago.

There will also be special treats including Saved by the Music from the Blue Jays album and Legend of a Mind dedicated to Ray Thomas. This is a not-to-be-missed show full of beautifully crafted songs, great energy and sound, and a fantastic atmosphere that will ‘bring the audience to their feet’.

John says “‘Music is my life and I can’t wait to get on the road with my 10,000 Light Years Band… the venues are smaller and more intimate, but I love live concerts “have bass will travel” that’s the gypsy in me. I’ll always be a ‘Moody Blue’, but I love getting the chance to perform songs that I have never performed before, and of course classic Moody Blue songs.

"The fans and I have travelled this road a long time and I also hope new fans will discover and explore along with us’.

As a member of The Moody Blues since 1966, John Lodge has spent much of his life touring the world, as part of a 'rock n roll band'.

The Moody Blues have sold more than 70 million albums and are celebrating the 50th Anniversary of their iconic album ‘Days of Future Passed’ with a hugely successful US tour, which includes a sold-out show at the Hollywood Bowl.

The release of their live album ‘Days of Future Passed, Live’, recently reached the top of US DVD charts. The Moodies continue to perform their music to fans across the generations, and can also currently be seen performing at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction on HBO, and on Amazon Prime, which features two of John’s hits, I’m Just a Singer (in a Rock and Roll Band), and Ride My See-saw. .

Lodge also has a wine line titled “Krisemma Wine,” which has won several prestigious international awards including ‘Best South African Chardonnay’ in the International Wine Challenge.

John will be live at The Stables on Friday, April 12.
