The History Lesson

Bad Company formed in London in 1973 by singer Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke (both ex-Free), guitarist Mick Ralphs (ex-Mott the Hoople) and bassist Boz Burrell (ex-King Crimson). Kirke was the only member to remain throughout the band’s entire run, while he and Ralphs were the only members to appear on every studio album. Peter Grant, who managed Led Zeppelin, also managed Bad Company until 1982.

Bad Company enjoyed great success throughout the 1970s. Their first three albums, Bad Company (1974),��Straight Shooter (1975) and Run with the Pack (1976), reached the top five in the album charts in both the UK and the US. Many of their singles and songs, such as “Bad Company,” “Can’t Get Enough,” “Feel Like Makin’ Love,” “Shooting Star,” “Burnin’ Sky,” and “Rock n Roll Fantasy” remain staples of classic rock radio. They have sold 20 million RIAA-certified albums in the US and 40 million worldwide. Though they initially disbanded in 1982, Bad Company reunited on many occasions to record and tour until 2019. In 2023, Kirke revealed that they would not continue as a band following the development of Rodgers’ recent health issues. In 2025, Bad Company was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Enter Bad Co. Legacy

For seven years Robert Hart was the lead singer of Bad Company in its classic rock era. He has also played many years with The Jones Gang (alongside Kenny Jones of The Faces) and with Manfred Mann’s Earth Band. Dave ‘Bucket’ Colwell spent 12 years playing guitar in Bad Company, as well as with Humble Pie, the Jones Gang, ASAP, and others. 

During 1992, Hart was approached by Mick Ralphs and Simon Kirke and asked if he would like to join them as the third lead vocalist for Bad Company, following Paul Rodgers and Brian Howe. In 1995 a self-produced Bad Company album was released, Company of Strangers, with four tracks self-penned or co-written by Hart, followed by a tour in support of Bon Jovi. Stories Told and Untold was released in 1996, featuring Hart and containing seven new compositions and acoustic versions of “Can’t Get Enough” and “Ready for Love.” Hart was also lead vocalist on three live albums between 1994 and 2001.

In 1990 Dave “Bucket” Colwell joined Bad Company as guitarist at the request of Mick Ralphs. Their subsequent tour, supported by Damn Yankees, was one of the top five grossing tours of 1991. As well as touring for over a decade, Colwell recorded heavily with the band. He then went on to record Merchants of Cool with Paul Rodgers in 2002. 

Hart and Colwell are joined onstage by Chris Childs (ex-Thunder and Tyketto), John Lingwood (Manfred Mann’s Earth Band) and Roger Chapman. 

Fans can expect many of the classic songs spanning Bad Company’s repertoire. It promises to be a night to remember!
