They are delighted to be joined by Steve Drennan on Bass for their Slipstream tour in 2023.

30 years down the line,Romeo’s Daughter are about to embark on their Slipstream Tour! With a fan base that never quit – even during their 16 year break, from 1993-2009 – they returned to worldwide praise with the release of their album:‘Rapture’in 2012 receiving an appropriately rapturous reception! As one of Britain’s finest rock bands,Romeo’s Daughterconsistently perform to sell-out audiences and are one of the few bands of their generation who have come back better than the first time.
