Bad Influence - Live at the Crawdaddy Club

Event information

It’s official — Bad Influence celebrate four decades of blues-rock firepower with a very special 40th Anniversary Tour! From their formation in 1986 by the powerhouse duo Val Cowell (vocals & rhythm guitar) and Richard Hayes (lead & slide guitar), this band has carved out a lasting legacy on the British blues scene and beyond. 

Across countless gigs — from legendary appearances at the iconic The Marquee Club in London to festival stages nationwide — Bad Influence have earned a reputation for fiery guitar work, soulful vocals and a rock-tinted blues swagger that gets under your skin. 

Expect a night packed with the best of their original songs and classic covers infused with their unmistakable style. Powerful vocals, searing guitar solos, tight rhythm grooves — all delivered by a band that’s paid its dues and still has the passion that lit up their very first show.

This anniversary tour is more than just nostalgia. It’s a celebration of the survival, strength and spirit of a band that helped keep British blues alive for 40 years — and they’re still hungry to rock.
