At the age of twelve Connolly moved to Harefield, Middlesex. Connolly played in a number of local bands before eventually replacing singer Ian Gillan (later of Deep Purple and Black Sabbath fame) in a band called Wainwright s Gentlemen, which included drummer Mick Tucker. Wainwright s Gentlemen split up in 1968 without releasing any recordings. Connolly and Tucker remained together and then recruited guitarist Frank Torpey, and bassist Steve Priest. They named their new band Sweetshop.


The group recorded several singles and eventually shortened their name to Sweet; Andy Scott joined the line-up in late 1970, just before the release of their first hit single Funny, Funny . After this, Connolly was propelled into the limelight, with many appearances on Top of the Pops, with the other members of the Sweet. A flood of successful singles would follow and both The Sweet and Brian Connolly became instantly recognisable.

Over the course of the next eight years, Connolly sang on many internationally successful singles and six albums with The Sweet until friction with other members of the band and his drinking problem caused him to leave the band in late 1978, although the announcement of his departure was not made public until March 1979. The friction had developed from around 1976, with the rest of the band and Connolly growing apart. With former producers, Chinn and Chapman now gone, the vacuum was filled by the band itself, particularly with lead guitarist Andy Scott, who had had excellent results with demo tracks he had recorded in his a home studio.
