If you have read some strange reports in the press recently, let Phil Collins himself put the record straight.  Visit his official website at www.philcollins.com to read a personal message from Phil about his plans to retire from the music industry. 

Rest assured that we will be continuing to keep Phil's music live and strive to be a faithful, respectful and affectionate tribute to a legend of British music.

Our 2011 dates are now available on our shows page - thanks to a wonderful audience in Milton Keynes who made us feel so welcome on our first visit to The Stables.  Our next show is in Camberley on April 9th, and tickets are once again selling fast.....

Hope to see you there!

Best regards,

To co-incide with Phil Collins' 60th Birthday, No Jacket Required has today released its 2011 UK Tour dates.  We have eleven dates confirmed so far - some favourite old venues and a few new ones too.  From Poole to Wolverhampton, we will be touring the UK paying tribute to one of Britain's most successful recording artists. 

Keep an eye on the site in the weeks to come as we are close to confirming more dates - in the meantime, we hope to see you at a show soon.  And many congratulations on your 60th, Mr Collins...!

Best wishes,

Many thanks to you all for your support of the band this year - from Southampton in January to Crawley in December, we've had enthusiastic receptions wherever we've played.  We have also reached the £10,000 mark for our contributions to homelessness charities, which has relied heavily on your donations and support, so again many thanks.  We celebrated our 100th show in November and are already lining up more performances for the New Year.  Keep an eye on this site in January to see the full line-up of shows for 2011.  In the meantime - have a very Merry Christmas and we look forward to seeing you next year.

Best wishes,

Huge thanks to the enthusiastic audience in Tonbridge this weekend.  It was a pleasure to kick off the Tonbridge Arts Festival and good to have some friends from the Bridge Trust there to see us too.  Tickets are selling fast for our final two shows of the year - the full show in Horsham on November 6th and the Unplugged show at The Hawth studio on December 12th.  Get your tickets now before they both sell out!

Plans coming along nicely for 2011 - stay tuned for tour details, which will be posted on the site very soon.

Thanks for your continued support.....

Congratulations to Phil on the success of his new album, 'Going Back' - Number One in the UK album charts!

September 25th 2010

We're heading into the home straight for this year's tour, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the release of No Jacket Required and Phil's iconic performances at Live Aid.  How those 25 years have flown by.....

We are back at Botley Hill and Tonbridge, where we launch the inaugural Tonbridge Arts Festival on October 15th.  If you haven't got your ticket for the homecoming show at The Capitol in Horsham, then you need to move quickly as they are selling out as always.  It's the final show of this year's tour and we're planning a few surprises along the way....

If you didn't catch our 'Unplugged' shows earlier this year, then you can join us in the intimacy of the Hawth Studio theatre in Crawley in December for a relaxed pre-Christmas show to round off the year in style.  Santa hats with your sunglasses, perhaps.....?!

Meantime, plans are being made for the 2011 Tour and we're hoping to take in some new venues, so please drop us a line if you have any suggestions!

Finally, I'm sure you don't need us to remind you that Phil Collins' new album, 'Going Back' is out now and that his all-improved website - www.philcollins.com - is fully live.  Worth a visit, of course....!
 

If you'd like to keep up with us via your social networking sites, there is a No Jacket Required group on Facebook and you can follow Dave on Twitter - @DaveWhitehouse1

Finally, our e-mail is back up and running: info@nojacketrequired.co.uk ; we'd love to hear from you....
 

Thanks for your support,
