Showaddywaddy Bury St Edmunds Apex

(featuring Showaddywaddy)

Venue: Bury St Edmunds The Apex Arts Centre

SHOWADDYWADDY have long been established as Europe's most successful ever exponents of retro-inspired rock & roll. The record
speaks for itself!

23 Top 40 hit singles, including 10 Top 5 hits (Under The Moon of Love, When, You Got What It Takes, 3 Steps To Heaven, Hey Rock & Roll, Etc!) 15 massive selling albums (including the Christmas number 1 in 1978)

An incredible live show - acclaimed the world over!

In excess of 50 Top Of The Pops performances, and countless Industry awards!

Royal Variety performances (one to the delight of the Queen Mother - who actually requested to meet the band post-performance)

Bill toppers at the prestigious Golden Orpheus World Music Festival before a staggering TV audience of 300 million people - making history in the process by becoming the first western-world band to be screened live in Communist Cuba!

As if the band's amazing success through 4 decades were not enough, here now, well into the 21st Century the demand for these legendary performers is every bit as strong. Surely a testament to their outstanding
reputation as live artists.

From 2009 thru 2012 the band performed a series of unique concerts across the UK under the title of "An Evening Of Rock & Roll With Showaddywaddy". The gigs featured the band delving into their formative years, along with selected songs from The Sun Album in an exclusive opening set, followed by a stirring second half full of the band's many hit singles.

On the back of these hugely successful concerts, and after massive public demand, the band will again be touring with a brand new show in 2013, with an expanded line-up to perform "The Greatest Hits".
The show will feature 2 drummers for the first time since the glam days of the 70's, and promises to be an adrenaline fuelled nostalgic treat.

The band's track record and versatility are without question - concerts, corporate conventions, festivals, universities, colleges, clubs & private functions the world over still clamour to book the remarkable SHOWADDYWADDY!
After 38 incredible years, rock & roll music is truly alive and kicking in the hands of this amazing band.
