VERDEN ALLEN & SOFT GROUND Tickets and Dates

Verden Allen is well known for his unique Hammond organ sound that made Mott The Hoople famous. After leaving MTH, Verden toured and recorded with many other projects, including The Cheeks, a band with Martin Chambers and Jimmy Scott, before they left to form The Pretenders.

In 2009, it was announced that Mott The Hoople would be re-uniting for two concerts at the Hammersmith Apollo in London. In October 2009, these became a total of five amazing sell-out shows, such was the public demand to see the original members perform.

Soft Ground began in 2012 by recording a live session with BBC Radio 2's legendary Whispering Bob Harris, and then went on to feature on BBC Hereford and Worcester's 'Introducing' show with Andrew Marston.  The band will be headlining April's Cambridge Rock Festival.

Verden has recorded five solo albums, and is now playing as hard and heavy on that Hammond as he ever did, playing many old Mott classics along with his own material.  The band, featuring Jamie Thyer on guitar and ex-Tigertailz drummer Matthew Blakout, won't fail to leave you feeling like you have been entertained... in the newly formed Soft Ground.
