The Pretty Things

The Pretty Things were one of the shaping forces of the British rock scene of the 1960s; from revolutionary raucous R&B, incendiary psychedelia to forming the concept album. They’ve continued to push boundaries since and whilst band members have come and gone their latest line-up sees them revitalised, forged around founder members Phil May and Dick Taylor.

With a string of sold out shows, these recipients of Mojo magazine’s Hero award are demonstrating that in their 50th year that they are are as vital a force as ever.
