Ambassadors of Rock!
Iron Maiden, Saxon, Def Leppard etc, they all emerged from the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. Surfing across the same wave was one of Britain's unique acts: The Bailey Brothers. Already recognised as pioneers of American rock helping to establish bands such as Kiss, Ted Nugent, Angel, Journey etc to an audience who, until then, only listened to Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath (traditional rock). Compiling charts for national rags such as Sounds at that time gave them an opportunity to promote up and coming acts and Mick and Dez became the rock 'n' roll preachers spreading the word in most cities in England.
.
Loreley in Germany launched Mick and Dez to 15000 German rock fans but more importantly Europe's top rock magazine Metal Hammer had discovered an ally that would help them launch their mag in England.
Monsters of Rock
All those years touring were about to be rewarded by MCP, promoters of Monsters Of Rock. The Bailey Brothers were added to the line up which saw new rock gods Bon Jovi headlining. Featuring on every poster, T-shirts, in all the press and with a full-page feature in the official Donington MOR programme the Baileys had been elevated onto the festival circuit
In typical British tradition the Baileys set out to conquer Europe.
The notorious rock fans welcomed Mick and Dez with rapturous applause. Their knowledge of music had kept them at the cutting edge of Rock and their communication skills were in evidence as 65,000 fans sang along and joined in with the Yorkshire banter that had become their trademark. The Bailey Brothers were invited back the following year to host the largest festival ever staged at Donington. With Iron Maiden, Kiss, Dave Lee Roth and Guns N Roses on the bill, the audience figures swelled to 110,000. The following year they hosted the Milton Keynes Bowl to 65,000 fans and once again were a huge success.
MTV Europe
The Baileys were by now writers, presenters and co-producers of MTV's top rated programme. Beamed right across Europe, Mick and Dez with their unique and fresh alternative look attracted an audience of all ages. This was the UK's version of Waynes World with a TFI Friday style of presentation and humour.
Not only did the Baileys present Donington; they interviewed every band on the mega bill for MTV and put the whole event out across Europe on their show. Now the cameras would capture 110.000 fans singing the Baileys catch phrase "Rock Not Pop". With a successful TV show behind them, Mick and Dez had reached the summit of their career. The twice weekly TV show attracted all the stars and saw the Baileys filmed in the USA and across Europe.
