Spike is guest vocalist on the new Soho Dukes single

As Spike recently said 'It was such an honour to be asked to sing on the brilliant new single 'A Stones Throw' from the Soho Dukes, plus it was great to play with my old mate Dave 'Bucket' Colwell who was absolutely brilliant. Can't wait for the shows in Nov/Dec, see you all there for an evening of pure rock n roll, love Spike x'

The Soho Dukes press release (edited):

SOHO DUKES RELEASE NEW SINGLE “A STONE’S THROW” FEATURING SPIKE (QUIREBOYS) AND DAVE ‘BUCKET’ COLWELL (EX – BAD COMPANY) AND MORE

SOHO DUKES launch their second single from their upcoming new album, ‘Nighthawks, Acrobats and Everything Under The Moon’.

‘Nighthawks, Acrobats and Everything Under The Moon’ out on Duchess / Cargo Records on November 28, 2025

'A Stone’s Throw' finds the band joined by Spike (Quireboys) and Dave ‘Bucket’ Colwell (ex-Bad Company) for an unforgettable dose of barstool philosophy.

Vocabulist JOHNNY BARRACUDA comments:

“We were obviously delighted when Spike and Bucket agreed to take the starring roles. The sessions will live long in the memory! Spike was in the middle of a run of gigs when he joined us in a little studio in Sussex. I scribbled the lyrics on the back of a betting slip and away we went. He was brilliant. See you on tour, me ol' son!

"And to have the genial maestro DAVE 'BUCKET' COLWELL take the lead guitar break was the cherry on top of the icing on top of the gateau. The solo's perfect. And you should hear stuff we didn't have room for! It The song could have been a 15-minute epic! Bucks is a legend!

"And on top of all that we've got the outrageously talented SIMON WALLIS on saxophones. He's worked with so many people: Aretha Franklin, Tom Jones, Natalie Cole, Solomon Burke. And that's just a few of 'em! That's frightening! And there's some stunning work on those backing vocals too. JULIA (KRAJEWSKA) and LUCY (CLARKE) really went to town on this! Honestly, I could listen to them all day."

The video was superbly produced by JAMES HERON of CARRIAGE RETURN.
