Saxon frontman announces Milton Keynes show

Biffy Byford - frontman with rock heavies Saxon -  recently announced his first ever solo tour dates, and as part of the run, he will visit Milton Keynes in April.

The show, in the form of 'An evening with...' will be split into two halves. The first features Biff in conversation with Don Jamieson (American comedian and star of VH1 Classic That Metal Show) on all aspects of his life and career.

After the break Biff and his band will play some new songs, covers and, maybe, a Saxon song or two.

"It's a show I've wanted to do for a long time and one which I don't think has been done in hard rock before. It'll be something different and a lot of fun," Biff promised.

As a special bonus, fans buying tickets prior to 31st January 2020 will receive a personally signed 10x8”photo together with entry into a draw to win one of 10 VIP Meet and Greets for each show.

As a teenager Biff played bass for a number of groups in the Barnsley area while working at a colliery during the day.

 

One of the bands included guitarist Paul Quinn with whom Biff would form Saxon. With Biff now focusing on lead vocals, Saxon released their eponymous debut album in 1979 becoming one of the new wave of British heavy metal bands.

Saxon quickly gained popularity and scored no less than eight consecutive UK Top 40 albums and five Top 40 singles between 1980 and 1988. Wheels Of Steel (1980) reached Number 5 in the UK album chart and achieved Platinum status.

Ever popular in Europe, and particularly in Germany, Saxon continued to be at the forefront of the British heavy metal scene and returned to the UK charts with their 2007 album The Inner Sanctum.

Saxon's 2018 album Thunderbolt was their first to reach the Top 30 album chart in 30 years and became their highest charting album in Germany and Switzerland reaching the Top 10 in both countries.

Biff will be live at The Stables on Monday, April 27.  To book your seat click here
