Currently in Australia on a national tour (with B*Witched and Atomic Kitten etc), British pop band East 17 release their new album "24/7" (February 17, 2017 ). Those who’ve been along to see the boys in action as part of said national tour will notice that original members Tony Mortimer and Brian Harvey are no longer part of the band. Replacing both is soul/pop vocalist Robbie Craig, whose voice impresses greatly. Robbie joins original members John Hendy and Terry Coldwell as part of the new line-up. And it’s this line-up which today (physically) releases their new album "24/7". That album, which comprises of 11 new songs, gets the Australian tour reworking, adding new 2017 versions of the band’s classic hits ‘House Of Love’, ‘It’s Alright’ and ‘Stay Another Day’, as well as a remix of album track ‘Strip’.

The album contained five hit songs in "Shine a Little Love", "Don't Bring Me Down", "Last Train to London", "Confusion" and "The Diary of Horace Wimp", many of which were heavily influenced by disco (in fact, Richard Tandy came up with its well known nickname, Disco Very).
