The house band for the great British rock knees-up. Lights Out (Chrysalis, 1977) The killerdiller studio album.
Now on the final leg of their farewell tour, UFO are adored and respected by everyone from Iron Maiden to Rush, from Def Leppard to, er, Warrant. UFO have always thrived on a dysfunctional nature, but now, reconciled with both keyboards/guitar man Neil Carter – who slipped into Paul Raymond's shoes when he died in 2019 – and original drummer Andy Parker, they’re as strong as they ever were.
