In this exclusive extended seventh episode of 50 Shades Of Slaids, Slaids sat down with Little Angels frontman Toby Jepson for a chat about the band’s history and their triumphant return on the upcoming Big, Bad & Back UK tour this November. While the Big, Bad & Back Tour is limited to this run of sixteen shows for now, the future of the band looks brighter than ever as Toby reveals the band plans for the rest of 2026 into 2027.

In this unique open and raw chat with Toby, Slaids reveals how he first became a fan and came to know of the band back in 1989 from the other side of the globe, and what has kept him as a fan for the last thirty-seven years. Toby and Slaids walk through the history and landmarks moments of the last thirty-seven years which saw the band break up, reunite for brief reunions that elated fans and left them wanting more. It is safe to say Little Angels are most definitely back and are looking at making up for lost time.

For those who may be unfamiliar with the band at their peak during the late eighties and nineties, Little Angels were a part of the incredible UK Hard rock scene, they shared the stage and toured with icons such as Tesla, Guns N Roses, Bon Jovi, ZZ Top and Bryan Adams to name just a few. With peers like Thunder, The Quireboys, The Almighty and Gun to name a few, Little Angels had their own style and flavour. Little Angels were and are still incredibly important to the UK hard rock scene. 

If you are in the UK I strongly suggest that you get to one of these shows, the incredible Luke Morley from Thunder is support for all shows. I think Slaids is preparing his bags now to attend a couple of these shows to experience the magic of Little Angels live, something he never thought he would get the chance to do.

A massive thank you goes out to Claire at Central Press and of course Toby Jepson for his incredibly generous time. 

The Little Angels are most definitely Big, Bad & Back in 2026.
