Previous concerts have focused on a particular genre, last year it was ‘Soul by the Sea’ and before that ‘The 60s’. This year tribute acts will perform highlights from influential bands but with the emphasis on the music rather than the artist. The show will run ‘backwards’ starting with music from the 2000s followed by highlights from the 90s, 80s and 70s, finishing with some great music from the 60s.
Excited with this year’s line-up Peter Osborne, General manager of the White Lion and its sister hotel, the Brudenell in Aldeburgh said; “With the theme being ‘Music through the Decades’ we firstly had to decide which decades to feature, so we decided to go back only as far as the 60s. We felt this was probably the most influential decade, and the best to get an audience up dancing and enjoying themselves”.
One of the top acts from the 60s, MIKE PENDER’S SEARCHERS (see editors’ note at end re style for this name) will be headlining the evening; they were rated as the second most popular 60s band after The Beatles. The music from Abba, another significant name from the 70s and 80s, will be featured by Abbababes, while some of The Shadows greatest hits will be played by Kevin Dean. The Ultimate Everlys are returning again this year to present their very polished routine, plus the tremendous sounds of The Austin Beats, who will be featuring the music of The Beatles, The Kinks and The Rolling Stones.
For the first time glamorous dancers from Mirage Productions will perform routines throughout the evening; they will be joined by four piece vocal group Troubadour and Monique featuring her tributes to Lady Ga Ga and Kylie Minogue.
Local Ipswich singing sensation Jade May-Jean Peters will also be part of the show plus Aldeburgh’s answer to Noel Gallagher – none other than Peter Osborne featuring his own special tribute to the music of Oasis.
