We now have the first video of the Thunderclap Newman Band, recorded at the Limelight Club in Crewe on the 23rd August.
The band is Andy ‘Thunderclap’ Newman: keyboards, cor anglais, oboe, soprano saxphone, tin whistle; David Buckley: vocals; Stefanos Tsourelis: electric lead guitar; Brian Jackson: bass; Antonio Spano: drums and percussion; István Deréky: rhythm guitar.
Many thanks to Devorah who filmed us in Crewe and Mike who helped her with editing and uploading the clip.
As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of “Something In The Air” hitting no.1 in the charts, here is a recent interview with Andy Newman. He talks to Vince Tracy of OCI Spain about Thunderclap Newman in the 60’s and about the current Thunderclap Newman Band.
Something In The Air was released 40 years ago. Here’s the original Thunderclap Newman version from the album ‘Hollywood Dream‘.

Here’s some demos we recorded June 2008:
Recorded June 7th & 8th 2008 at Moat Studios. Engineered by Toby Hrycek-Robinson.
After a creative break, Thunderclap Newman are back…as Thunderclap Newman Band. Since Andy ‘Thunderclap’ Newman is the only surviving member of the original band, it was decided to rename the new band to make a clear distinction between the 1960s Thunderclap Newman and the Thunderclap Newman Band of today.
