SCREAMING TARTS PRESENTS... Focus + support.

Tuesday November 25th 2014. The Duchess, York.



With their unique brand of progressive rock, Focus manifested themselves

at the start of the '70s as the most successful and appreciated of all the

Dutch pop-rock exports. Fronted by founding member Thijs Van Leer, and

best known for their hits "Hocus Pocus", "House of The King" and "Sylvia",

the iconic Dutch music masters are back with their new album, which is

guaranteed to please their legions of fans!



After a comeback in the early 2000's, the band has gone from strength to

strength, with their last studio album 'Focus X' still receiving

considerable support from music fans across multiple genres. Along with

Thijs van Leer on vocals, flute and keyboards, back on the drums is

beloved Focus drummer Pierre van der Linden, who joined the group on their

second album 'Moving Waves' in 1972.



Internationally renowned for his rhythmic skills, Pierre remains a

defining factor in the Focus sound. Bassist Bobby Jacobs, who comes from a

well-acclaimed Dutch musical family and guitarist Menno Gootjes, who

participated in Focus at an earlier stage, completes the band's current

line-up.



Most recently, the group's 1972 worldwide hit "Hocus Pocus" was featured

in the major motion picture 'Robocop' starring Samuel L. Jackson, Gary

Oldman and Michael Keaton.



The Dutch rock legends play York on Tuesday November 25th.
