So he's SMOKIE right? If he's singing all their hits I'm in for sure. These guys are timeless.

Invite everybody who loves Smokie and music from that era. You will have a chance to see the artists up close since this place is not a theatre or concert hall.

I don,t know about wings , but he certainly was not one of the Smokie boys...!

I know Chris norman , one of the original Smokie members , and also Pete spencer , but i had never heard of this Van downham guy till a few minutes ago....

Smokie are still going strong of course . but only one of the band members is original...

If you liked the old Smokie sound check out Chris normans albums since he left the band and started his own , he now has a mostly German band , he has his recording studio there...He did live in the isle of man , due to tax reasons , but he has now moved back to his native Yorkshire , just down the road from my ex girlfriends..her sister is Chris normans wife...lovely people...Last time i went to work in the UK for six months they gave me a free luxury house to stay in , would not even take money for phone calls i made to Poland...Check out his music , if you liked Smokie , you will like the new stuff....
