On the 19th March 2026…. it will be fifty years since the tragic death of Paul Kossoff.

Kossoff…The Band Plays On intend to commemorate Paul’s life and music in a series of very special shows. The show we have is on the actual date we lost Paul.

Paul Kossoff, the guitar prodigy, aged just 25, tragically died in March 1976 - but his music lives on. Kossoff was (and still is) revered by music fans and fellow musicians worldwide.

Kossoff...The Band Plays On

Forty years on since Paul Kossoff, one of Britain’s finest guitarists, tragically passed away at the tender age of 25 in 1976. Singer Terry Slesser, the voice of Kossoff's critically acclaimed post-Free band Back Street Crawler, and a close friend of Koss, keeps the memory of one of the greatest British Blues guitarist and his music alive. Sless has chosen the guitarist John Buckton, of whom Simon Kirke said "If Free were to reform John would be my first choice as guitarist", to play a series of special dates reviving for the first time since the 70s the catalogue of Back Street Crawler songs as well as favourite Free numbers. Also included in the lineup is drummer Clive Edwards (UFO, Wild Horses, Pat Travers) and highly respected keyboard player Mark Taylor (Elton John, Simple Minds, The Alarm).
