Terry Reid – UK & Irish tour 2025 / legendary English singer & musician returns to play 16 shows in September & October

The legendary singer and musician Terry Reid will play his first Irish, Scottish and Welsh shows in more than six years this autumn, alongside new UK dates that include a return to London’s Jazz Café in London after selling it out on his last tour.

Reid was recently featured in the ‘Becoming Led Zeppelin’ documentary, with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page discussing him being considered as the first singer in the band before turning them down as he just signed a solo deal. It was Reid who suggested to Page that he try and check out another young singer who had just supported him named Robert Plant.

In 1968, when Reid had just turned 18, Aretha Franklin remarked “there are only three things happening in England: The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and Terry Reid.” Firmly on the radar of those in the know back then, decades later he still is.

Reid’s teenage years saw him touring with The Rolling Stones (including the fabled 1969 American tour), Cream, Jethro Tull and Fleetwood Mac, as well as playing prestige slots at festivals such as Isle of Wight and Glastonbury. His soulful voice and powerful vocal range earned him the nickname ‘Superlungs’ after he recorded the Donovan song ‘Superlungs My Supergirl’ for his self-titled second album.

Reid has released seven studio albums, plus numerous song collaborations that include artists such as Marianne Faithful, Alabama 3, The Raconteurs, The Hollies and DJ Shadow. His song ‘Brave Awakening’ was included on a UK Top 3 chart album by Rumer, while his songs have featured in movies as diverse as comedy romance ‘Up In The Air’ (starring George Clooney) and The Devil’s Rejects’ (directed by Rob Zombie).

Graham Nash (The Hollies, Crosby Stills & Nash) is among Reid’s closest friends and in 1976 produced his classic fourth album, ‘Seed Of Memory’. A song from Reid’s 1968 debut album entitled ‘Without Expression’ was later recorded by CSN as ‘Horses Through A Rainstorm’ and included on a 1991 box set. Years later, Reid and Nash still team up for impromptu live performances, leaving audiences floored with their jaw-droppingly gorgeous harmonies.

From country flavoured songs to Brazilian/Latin (Reid housed Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso when they were exiled by the dictatorship in 1969), to rock and soul, Reid always puts his own spin on bringing a lyric to life or phrasing a melody.

Ever since the outset of his career, Reid has been constantly evolving and moving forward as an artist, writer, singer and guitar player, touring the world, telling his stories and attracting fresh fanbases. Joe Bonamassa recently commented “Cheers Terry, you are a superstar.” Once again, still on the radar with those in the know. There is always something percolating in Reidland….be sure to catch him live!
