About Graham Bonnet
Graham Bonnet’s career is a testament to raw vocal power and an unwavering commitment to hard rock. Bursting onto the scene with Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow, he lent his unique, blues-infused yet undeniably hard-rock voice to the classic album Down to Earth (1979), delivering timeless hits like “Since You Been Gone” and “All Night Long.” His tenure, though brief, left an indelible mark, showcasing a singer who defied typical rockstar aesthetics with his sharp suits and short hair. Following Rainbow, Bonnet joined the Michael Schenker Group (MSG) for the seminal Assault Attack (1982), an album revered by metal aficionados for its sheer intensity and Bonnet’s commanding performance on tracks such as the title track.
He then co-founded Alcatrazz, a band that became a launchpad for guitar virtuosos Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai, producing classic albums like No Parole from Rock ‘n’ Roll and Disturbing the Peace. Bonnet’s solo career has been equally prolific, with albums like Line-up and The Day I Went Mad further cementing his status as a versatile and powerful vocalist. His distinctive baritone, capable of both melodic nuance and full-throttle aggression, remains instantly recognisable. Today, Bonnet continues to tour with his own formidable band, delivering a setlist that spans his illustrious career, ensuring fans experience the full breadth of his legendary contributions to metal and hard rock.
Underworld: The Perfect Setting
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Camden Town, Underworld stands as a legendary beacon for rock and metal enthusiasts in London. Located directly beneath The World’s End pub at 174 Camden High Street, NW1 0NE, this iconic venue has been a cornerstone of the capital’s alternative music scene for decades. Its history is rich with performances from countless seminal bands, making it a truly hallowed ground for fans and artists alike.
Underworld boasts an intimate capacity, typically holding around 500 to 600 people, which ensures every gig feels up close and personal. This smaller size cultivates an incredibly intense and immersive atmosphere; there’s no bad spot in the house, and the energy from the stage directly permeates the crowd. The venue’s dark, slightly gritty interior, coupled with its powerful sound system, creates the quintessential rock club experience – sweaty, loud, and utterly exhilarating. While specific accessibility details are best confirmed directly with the venue, Underworld generally strives to accommodate all patrons, though its underground nature means there are some stairs. Its prime location in Camden means it’s surrounded by lively pubs, bustling markets, and excellent transport links, making it an ideal destination for a night out.
What to Expect at the Show
When Graham Bonnet takes the stage at Underworld, expect nothing less than a masterclass in hard rock showmanship. His setlist is a thrilling journey through his illustrious career, meticulously curated to delight fans from every era. Anticipate powerful renditions of Rainbow classics like “Since You Been Gone” and “All Night Long,” alongside the blistering intensity of MSG’s “Assault Attack.” Alcatrazz anthems such as “Hiroshima Mon Amour” and “God Blessed Video” are also highly likely to feature, delivered with the same vocal prowess that defined them decades ago.
The stage production at Underworld is typically raw and unpretentious, allowing the focus to remain firmly on the musicianship and Bonnet’s commanding presence. Expect powerful lighting, a tight sound mix, and a band that’s clearly enjoying every moment. The atmosphere will be electric; Underworld’s intimate setting guarantees a close connection between artist and audience. Prepare for enthusiastic singalongs, a palpable sense of shared history, and the potential for a friendly mosh pit as the energy intensifies. This will be an evening where the music truly speaks for itself, delivered by a legend whose voice remains as potent and captivating as ever.
