Following their triumphant appearance at Monsters of Rock, Thunder are on the road with a UK tour and are at Portsmouth Guildhall on Monday.

The line-up of the band is Danny Bowes on vocals, guitarist Luke Morley, Ben Matthews on guitar and keyboards, Chris Childs on bass and drummer Harry James.

The band have been very busy this year: as well as filming a live DVD and documentary in Japan, they've recorded the follow-up to the very successful and highly acclaimed The Magnificent Seventh. Danny Bowes says: "The schedule over the past few years has been fairly relentless. Since we got back together, each tour has sold out quicker than the one before and the records and DVDs we've released on our own label have sold progressively more copies. It's hard work doing it all ourselves, but we couldn't be more chuffed with the way things are going, and the November tour will feature songs from the new LP, which of course are all rubbish! Ha ha!"

Fans can also look forward to hearing some songs from Thunder's back catalogue, which includes Backstreet Symphony, Love Walked In, A Better Man and Stand Up.
