The Firebirds

Formed in Bristol in 1981, The Firebirds are recognised as one of Europe’s top rock ’n’ roll bands and the UK’s go-to act for authentic 1950s rock ’n’ roll, rockabilly and doo-wop. Over four decades they have performed alongside Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Charlie Gracie and Sleepy LaBeef. They were the only British band chosen to play the prestigious opening of Disneyland Paris. Their self-penned single “‘59 Ford” has passed 9 million Spotify streams and is a staple of rockabilly collections worldwide. Today’s line-up is Jim Plummer (lead vocals, guitar), Rich Lorriman (bass, vocals) and Spencer Lingwood (drums, vocals). The three are first-class musicians whose tight harmonies cover the full spectrum of 50s and 60s music. They have toured across Europe, the USA and South America, and they headline festivals and theatres throughout the UK. Their latest album, Dance All Night Long, is out now on their own label, Rockville Records.
