The band will be supported by Donovan Blackwood ex Heatwave.

East 17 was founded in 1991, when a 20-year-old Tony Mortimer, an ambitious singer and songwriter contacted London Records recording studio.

The young artist was asked to form a band, this was the only way the producers would work with his materials.

East 17 was formed of Tony’s friends, John Handy, Terry Coldwell and Brian Harvey.

The name of the band originates from the area where the boys lived and its postcode, E17 Walthamstow.

In recent years Tony Mortimer, Brian Harvey and John Hendy have left the band and been replaced.

The group continues today under the line-up of Terry Coldwell, Joe Livermore since 2019 and former Artful Dodger collaborator Robbie Craig since 2014.
