It’s over fifty years since glamrockers Mud had their first hit record ‘Crazy’ under the guidance of legendary producer Mickie Most and song-writers Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman.
They went on to score 3 UK number 1s, 11 UK top 10s and 15 UK top 40s as well as big hits in Europe, Scandinavia and many other parts of the world.
Today, the band still has two surviving original members, ROB DAVIS and RAY STILES…(other originals Les Gray and David Mount having passed away).
Rob has become a very successful songwriter having penned various number one hits for many artists including, most notably, Kylie Minogue (Can’t Get You Out Of My Head) and Sophie Ellis Bexter (Groovejet). Ray has been a member of the HOLLIES for the past thirty six years and still tours with them, playing sell-out shows in Australia, New Zealand, America, Europe, Scandinavia..and also the UK.
The line-up of the band is completed by KEITH READ (guitar), IAN PARKER (keyboards) and PAUL CASTLEMAN on drums. Paul is a studio musician and a long time friend of Rob and Ray. Keith doubles on guitar with Rob and shares vocal duties with Ray. Ian is also a long established member of the HOLLIES and provides the additional musical arrangements found on original Mud records.
The band still creates an element of fun in their shows with interesting anecdotes from its past. The set consists of 15 faithful reproductions of classic Mud hits.

BOOKING A TABLE FOR AN EVENT IN 2026
Please purchase your concert tickets first before booking a table. We will not accept any table bookings that do not have a corresponding ticket purchase.

PLEASE NOTE THE VENUE RELIES ON THE INCOME FROM DINING TO ENSURE WE CAN BOOK ALL THE GREAT ACTS PERFORMING.
Income from the provision of pizzas is very important to the venue and if you have booked a table it is a requirement that all people sat at tables order food - a salad alternative is available to pizzas. Please do ensure that all individuals will be ordering on your table - if this is not the case please cancel your table so others who are looking to dine can do so. Our apologies to raise this but recently we have had many tables (some very large) where less than 50% of those sat at tables have ordered food. Financially this is a real problem to the sustainability of the venue.
- All seating at tables must purchase a pizza - so please do not book a table if everyone is not eating.
- Please ensure that you arrive 10 minutes before the time slot allocated to order your pizzas prior to your booking time.
- Tables not seated within 15 minutes of the allocated time may be lost and allocated to other audience members wishing to order pizzas.
- If you wish to book a table for 6 or more please email info@acapela.co.uk
