The Troggs

Biography

Who can forget ‘Wild Thing’? The Troggs have always been remembered for this 60s anthem, but it is just one of their many UK hits.

‘With A Girl Like You, ‘I Can’t Control Myself’, ‘Anyway That You Want Me’, ‘Give It To Me’ and ‘Love Is All Around’ are some of their other fantastic hits that all followed in rapid succession to give The Troggs world-wide acclaim.

Dubbed by many as the “first British punk band”, they have continued playing in their own uncompromising style of good basic rock music.

Never strangers to controversy, many of their records were considered too suggestive for the masses by the “powers that be”, and they consequently banned them. How anybody could judge Reg Presley’s tongue-in-cheek delivery to be dangerous to the morals of the young is hard to believe.

The Troggs still boast one of the original founder members – Chris Britton on lead guitar. They are now joined by Chris Allen (stepping in the shoes of Reg Presley), Pete Lucas on bass and Dave Maggs on drums. Their popularity has never waned and they are still in great demand both in the UK and the rest of Europe, where they regularly headline festivals attracting thousands of fans.

Their appeal holds no age barriers, and they have fans ranging from the stalwarts who have supported them throughout the years to many new fans from the younger generations.

Now, The Troggs are very much a “cult” band and are guaranteed to get your guests feeling like ‘Wild Things’ when you book them for your event.
