The Glitter Men first came to fame in 1971 as the backing band for Gary Glitter. The band provided the hypnotic tribal backings for all of his major hits around the world including such classics as Rock And Roll Part 2, I’m The Leader Of The Gang, I Love You Love and many many more.

By 1973 the band had changed their name to The Glitter Band and were striking out and building a solid reputation as a top chart in their own right with worldwide chart toppers such as Goodbye My Love, Angel Face, Let’s Get Together Again and People Like You. By 1976 The Glitter Band had changed their name to The G-Band. The subsequent album Paris Match clearly announced a new musical direction for the band.

Gerry Shephard died tragically in 2003. Pete Phipps has continued to tour Europe with The Glitter Band. The Glitter Band of today is an exciting “all-hit” show featuring all of The Glitter Band’s greatest hits as well as some of the better known glitter songs, performed faithfully to the original recordings. This show is a must for any 70s or Glam Rock event!
