AN EVENING paying tribute to the music of Rod Stewart is taking place in Poole. Cregan and Co will be live at Mr Kyps on Saturday, October 3. Formed by Rod Stewart's guitarist and collaborative songwriter Jim Cregan, Cregan & Co celebrate from 1977 to the present day with an evening of Rod's hit songs, with special guest vocalist Ben Mills.
Poole-born Jim has travelled the world but retains strong connections with the area. Bassist Pat Davey has taught electric bass at both Poole and Bournemouth College and settled in the area. Former Family and Cockney Rebel guitarist Jim joined Rod Stewart's band in 1977 and became his musical director, co-producer and co-writer. Cregan co-penned many hits with Stewart, including Passion, Tonight I'm Yours (Don't Hurt Me), and Forever Young. Jim is a world-class guitarist and has written for many rock and pop stars (Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker, Art Garfunkel, Steve Harley) and co-written Brighton Beach on Rod Stewart's latest album Time. This was released as a single with masses of airplay on BBC radio. Cregan & Co play Mr Kyps in Lower Parkstone on October 3.
