Rotary Rocks is delighted to present The Robbie Gladwell Band

Robbie Gladwell is a veteran guitarist who has performed with numerous bands since the 1970s. He is perhaps best known as lead guitarist for Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel. Firstly between 1990 and 1991, and then from 1999 until 2022 (sans 2018), playing both electric and acoustic guitars, as well as mandolin, in both Harley's full rock band format (Cockney Rebel), and his 2–5 piece acoustic sets.

Robbie has also played lead guitar for many other musical artistes including Suzi Quatro during the 1990s. He has supported and toured with the Rolling Stones, B.B. King, Percy Sledge, Little Eva and Nile Rodgers, and shared stages with David Gilmour, David Bowie, The Who, Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings and Tom Jones.

Widely known in guitar circles as ‘Dr Robert,’ he advises many companies in the music industry worldwide. He has been the demonstrator for Gibson guitars in the UK and a technical consultant for Fender Guitars, the author of regular features for Guitarist magazine, and the designer of a signature guitar for Vintage Guitars. Robbie runs a custom guitar workshop, Dr Robert's Guitar Surgery, working with many well-known players.

As frontman of the eponymous Robbie Gladwell Band a long-established act, he continues to perform multiple concerts per year, with many to raise money for local charities. “We do an eclectic mix of high-energy rock and pop favourites, soul standards, blues, and classic hits from the past 60 years, including a few from the bands I’ve toured with such as Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel. I’ve also done literally thousands of recording sessions over the years too, so some of the songs will have featured me on the original recordings."

This is a seated charity fund raiser concert - all proceeds from the event will support the Lindengate Charity who work to promote and protect the physical and mental wellbeing of the general public by the provision of nature-based activities in horticulture, conservation, heritage skills, arts and craft, woodworking and education. Charity No. 1153868.
