Venue: Bury The Met

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.
