Who Are the Badfinger?
Badfinger is arguably Swansea’s most famous export and one of Wales’ most popular rock bands. The band was active in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, and their most famous line-up consisted of Pete Ham, Mike Gibbons, Tom Evans, and Joey Molland.

The band is well-known for making a huge impact on power pop in the 1970s and sold an estimated 14 million albums throughout their careers. The band didn’t start as Badfinger, though. They evolved from an earlier band formed in 1961 called The Iveys.
