Legends of the UK live scene, there’s not many festivals or indeed conurbations that these boys haven’t played in the years they’ve been together. In that time, they have released five albums, sold over 2 million records, been streamed over 50 million times worldwide, and enjoyed 12 Top 40 singles, including the massive hit ‘Good Enough’ – officially one of the most played tracks on British radio in the last 30 years. Dodgy are a rare entity nowadays as the band still boast the original line up of Nigel Clark, Mathew Priest and Andy Miller, which is a miracle considering the scrapes and conditions they have been in , but they are better and more energized than ever, which is partly down to some clever signings over the years to add depth and beauty to their squad, with the legendary Stu Thoy on bass and multi-instrumentalist, Graham Mann. And it’s this line up that is currently in the studio in Wales working on the follow-up to What Are We Fighting For, set for release in 2026.
Dodgy released their Ian Broudie-produced debut album in 1992, pre-Britpop, but by having a broader appeal; being blessed with being nimble and possessing great balance, the boys managed to surf that wave with alarming aplomb. Since then they have toured and played with everyone from The Who, Oasis, Blur, Martha and the Vandellas and even The Jacksons. Their legacy as one of the standout British bands of the 1990s remains intact, cementing their place in British musical history.
