HARD ROCK COMPANY - A TRIBUTE TO FREE & BAD COMPANY. Live in Concert - Celebrating the Legends of British Rock. Long before stadium rock ruled the airwaves, four young musicians lit the fuse on a new era of heavy, soulful, blues-driven rock. In 1969, Paul Rodgers, Andy Fraser, Paul Kossoff and Simon Kirke formed FREE, a band whose raw power and emotional depth became the blueprint for classic British rock. Their timeless anthem “All Right Now” still echoes across generations - from vinyl to live stages to that unforgettable UK gum advert. Rolling Stone later hailed FREE as “British hard rock pioneers”, ranking Paul Rodgers among the greatest singers of all time and Paul Kossoff among the most iconic guitarists. Their influence is undeniable. When FREE came to an end, Rodgers and Kirke joined forces with Mick Ralphs (Mott the Hoople) and Boz Burrell to create Bad Company - a supergroup that delivered hit after hit: “Can’t Get Enough,” “Shooting Star,” “Bad Company,” “Feel Like Makin’ Love” and many more. More than 50 years later, these songs still shake the walls. --- ENTER HARD ROCK COMPANY. Hard Rock Company was formed with one mission: to keep the music of FREE and Bad Company alive, loud, and full of swagger. We honour the legacy of these legendary bands with a powerful, passionate live show that captures the spirit, soul, and grit of the originals. From the bluesy grooves of FREE to the arena-ready anthems of Bad Company, we deliver the songs with the energy and authenticity they deserve. We’ve played to crowds across the UK - including the special privilege of performing in Paul Rodgers’ hometown of Middlesbrough - and every night we bring the same fire. Nearly 60 years since FREE’s debut and over 50 since Bad Company’s first album, this music still hits like a freight train.
