MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Once again the season of goodwill is upon us.
As always Smokie members will relax at home before heading off to Lithuania for shows on the 29th, 30th and of course New Years Eve.
Mike, Martin, Terry, Mick and Steve, send best wishes to Smokie fans and friends far and wide and offer our compliments of the season.
We shall see you in 2020!
...AUSTRALIA 2019
Another successful tour "Down Under" completed!
And what a great tour it was. The whole tour was sold out except for one show. All in all a major achievement and a feat the guys were absolutely delighted with.
Preparation and commitment is key to touring Australia, bearing in mind that the band are self-promotors in this territory.
A big thanks must go to everyone involved in this tour. Management, crew, venue managers,local crew and everyone who helped somewhere along the way to help things move along smooth as clockwork.
Band members will now enjoy their time off over the Christmas period before heading to Lithuania for the New Year Arena Shows.
Thank you Australia, you were awesome; and for that reason Smokie members have taken a decision to commit to return to Australia in a couple of years time.

R.I.P. GRETA
It is with an immense amount of sadness that we have to announce the passing of Greta Deberitz.
Greta was one of Smokie's long standing and dedicated fans who for many years organised and ran the Smokie Fanclub from Norway.
We recognize that Greta brought many fans together, not just in Norway but from many countries around the world and kept them informed of news a long time before the internet came along.
We know that Greta will be sadly missed by Smokie fans far and wide.
Smokie band members would like to send our deepest condolences to the Deberitz Family.
RIP Greta.
...EMOTIONAL REUNION
Last night in Melbourne there was a most emotional reunion for Smokie, when we found out that original lead guitarist Alan Silson was in the audience.
We made sure that we got Alan backstage after the show.
A few laughs and a few tears as you'd expect, but we were all delighted to see Alan.
We are well aware that past members are always in the thoughts of our loyal fans and this is one post that we are so happy to share with you all.
One thing that we have vowed to do, is stay in touch with Alan, he informs us that he is still playing guitar and he was in great spirits!
AUTRAILIA TOUR UPDATE
Today, Smokie play The Metro in Sydney.
The tour so far has been a great success and when the band land in Melbourne tomorrow they'll be halfway through their Australian tour dates.
The "Stand Out" gig so far according to band members would have to be the stand up show at "The Tivoli" in sunny Brisbane, a city all band members seem to show a great fondness for!
Those of you who have a Facebook account, please follow the Smokie page as well as the Mick McConnell page for some tour updates and some personal photos!
Next stop for the guys is Melbourne!
