Rave On to showcase greatest hits of the 50s and 60s
Rave On will deliver the hits of Elvis, The Beatles, Lulu, Buddy Holly, Dusty Springfield, and many more acts at Bridlington Spa on Friday, November 13.
Charting the rise of Rock and Roll, the Rave On production is described as ‘a vibrant and youthful show that promises a thrilling show through music’s most revolutionary decades’.
From the emergence of Rock and Roll at Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee to the British Invasion and beyond, the show is a musical adventure presented in authentic concert style.
A spokesperson for the show said: “With every note played live on stage, Rave On proudly features an array of the UK’s finest young rock and roll musicians.
“The show presents iconic hits of the 1950s and 60s – Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, The Beatles, Connie Francis, Eddie Cochran to Little Richard, Roy Orbison, Lulu, Cliff Richard and so many more.
“As well as classic rock and roll chart-toppers, Rave On also touches on other formative musical genres like skiffle and rhythm and blues. The production leaves no stone unturned on its winding path through the history of our popular musical heritage.”
Show creators and band members Dan Graham and Oliver Seymour Marsh rewrite and refine the show on an annual basis, ensuring returning fans are never disappointed.
Oliver said: “We’ve had the chance to explore material we’d not covered before and to create a show which moves into this exciting ‘new’ decade.
“We never want to lose sight of our roots in the 1950s, of course, the story of rock and roll starts here, but we asked ourselves how could we now explore the way music travelled globally throughout the next decade? We stop around 1966, just before psychedelia turns up. Who knows, maybe that’ll be our next show.”
