The most successful touring show with a multi-artist line-up in the world, the Solid Silver 60’s Show, will once again play to audiences up and down the UK in 2019, just as it has done for an incredible, record-breaking 34 years.
Celebrating the original package shows of the 1960’s, where fans would see a raft of artists performing their hits on one incredible bill, the Solid Silver 60’s Show has performed to over a million people since its first tour in the 1985.
And we've got good news for Milton Keynes fans - it will return to MK Theatre on April 14.
The tour has seen an incredible range of artists share the stage together – some that had you told people way back when, they would have scarcely believed!
Such luminaries in the tour’s history have included Bobby Vee, Billy J Kramer, Gerry and The Pacemakers, The Troggs, The Searchers, The Merseybeats, Del Shannon, Duane Eddy, and Brian Hyland.
2019 is no different, featuring original popstars and hitmakers of the era: Milton Keynes' own Brian Poole of The Tremeloes, Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits, Dave Berry, and Vanity Fare.
Famed as frontman of the incredibly successful Herman’s Hermits, Peter Noone’s canon of hits include ‘I’m Into Something Good’, ‘No Milk Today’, ‘Kind of Hush’, and ‘My Sentimental Friend’.
Having sold countless records worldwide, Noone has regularly toured on both sides of the Atlantic for several decades, having his first solo hit with the David Bowie-penned ‘Oh You Pretty Things’, which Bowie also performed piano on the recording of.
As lead singer of beat group The Tremeloes, Brian Poole had an incredible number of hits that went on to become staples of the era, including their first chart entry ‘Twist and Shout’ which went on to sell over a million copies, ‘Do You Love Me’, ‘Candy Man’, and ‘Someone Someone’.
One of the original teen idols, Dave Berry garnered attention for his unique live performances, appearing to the audience always hidden behind a prop, as well as his notable songs including ‘Memphis, Tennessee’, ‘This Strange Effect’ – a hit on Continental Europe particularly where he still enjoys celebrity status – and ‘The Crying Game’, voted by Time Out as one of the Top 50 Saddest Songs of All Time.
Completing the hit-laden line-up of acts will be Vanity Fare, who dominated the charts in 1970 with their track ‘Hitchin’ A Ride’ which sold over a million copies, as well as the Top 10 hit ‘Early In The Morning’.
