Liverpool- born singer/saxophonist and bandleader began his career in London as a session musician playing on recordings by Bob Geldof and the Boomtown Rats, Graham Parker and many others. In 1973 he formed the now legendary band SUPERCHARGE. The band’s blend of R.‘n’B. and Funk plus their wild on- (and off!) stage-show made them a sensation on the British 70’s live- club scene. In the 80’s the band signed with Virgin Records and toured extensively in GB and all over Europe with such names as Ray Charles, Fats Domino, B. B. King, Chuck Berry and Queen – culminating in the Hyde Park concert in front of more than 100,000 people. From then on ALBIE has led successful tours all over Europe (Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, France, Poland, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland) and recently back home again in GB, confirming the bandleaders consistent popularity. His soulful voice and unique horn-sound attest to his R’n’B roots and his being steeped in the music of the all-time greats.

The album is described by the band as “Dynamite Rhythm & Blues” and features Molly Duncan from Average White Band and guest vocalist Tommy Blaize from the Strictly Come Dancing Band.

There’s an unashamedly retro feel to ‘Get Hip’, which features a collection of covers chosen because they are quality classics that have stood the test of time and happen to sound amazing when given the full-on Supercharge treatment. Albie Donnelly has been performing live for forty years and he knows how to pick a set of songs that are both fun and accessible; ‘Get Hip’ proves that and then some. As he says, “These songs are the real deal, we’re not talking about creating art or making a profound statement, these are great songs that swing and make people smile.”

Albie Donnelly was a founder member of Supercharge in 1974 and forty four years later he is still handling lead vocals and tenor sax duties for what has always been one of the most revered live acts on the circuit. Veterans of iconic music venues like the Marquee Club and the Nashville Rooms, Supercharge were signed by Richard Branson at Virgin, and even opened for Queen at their 1976 Hyde Park Festival. ‘Get Hip’ is just the latest chapter in the Supercharge story and is set to win them yet more fans, crack a few grins and get people moving – and surely the Strictly Come Dancing connection can’t hurt there!
