Romeo's Daughter

About the Event

Back with a vengeance and a whole album full of new material! Lead singer, Leigh Matty, was voted Number 5 Lady Rock Singer of all time in Classic Rock Magazine

The band’s pedigree is second to none, with each member having previously worked at the highest levels with artists such as: Bonnie Tyler, Whitney Houston, Roxette, Meatloaf, Tom Jones, John Parr, Dexy’s Midnight Runners’ Kevin Rowland and, ex-GoGo, Jane Wiedlin!

From the release of their debut Album in 1988, produced in part by the infamous Robert John ‘Mutt’ Lange, it was surely to be only a matter of time before Romeo’s Daughter hit the headlines. And that, they certainly did. During a whirlwind tour of the U.S.A their single Don’t Break My Heart, leapt up the US Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. The calibre of their songs attracted many established artists; Heart covered the single Wild Child on their 3 million selling album Brigade, achieving No. 2 on the Billboard Rock All Play chart. Eddie Money, Bonnie Tyler and the recently reformed Steps too, have had recording successes with other Romeos’ titles. Their track Heaven in the Backseat was the also the opener for the film, ‘Nightmare on Elm Street 5’.

The second album, Delectable, was more like a live album and well worth the wait. It was produced and recorded by Romeo’s Daughter and Andy Reilly, and was later mixed by Steve Brown (The Cult, Manic Street Preachers and Wham).

20 years down the line, that same great response has spurred them on to re-group after a magnificent reception at the 2009 Firefest, in Nottingham. Guitarist Joiner, needing no encouragement, had already started to pen new Romeo's Daughter songs and after much hard graft from each band member, two long years later it’s finally arrived. Rapture, the third long awaited album, captures all ofRomeo's Daughters’ style and verve with a little bit more besides.

Like a good wine, this band just gets better with time!

In 2012, they toured with FM performing in Glasgow, Manchester and finishing off with a spectacular gig at Shepherds Bush Empire. Their solo tour took them all over the country starting at the Bush Hall, London.

“They were phenomenal. Simply phenomenal.” Get Your Rock Out on the Manchester Academy gig in March 2012

“Romeos Daughter trample most of Britain's melodic rockers underfoot and deserve success on their own terms.” Steve Beebee, Kerrang

“This is certainly the best thing I have seen this weekend, possibly even better than anything I have yet to witness at a Firefest show. Yes, they were that good...” Allan Holloway - rockunited.com

“Their performance was just beyond words! Amazing from start to finish, the fans felt it was a unique experience. I couldn't imagine a single individual within the venue who was not cheering… This was pure perfection.” Kostas Rigas / Chris Kappas - Rockpages.gr

“Quite simply, Leigh Matty and company were one of the sensations of Firefest VI. 16 years away had diminished little of their variety or seductive quality” Dave Ling – Classic Rock
