Lose yourself in a
spectacular sixties show that features classic hits from The Beatles,
The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Who, The Byrds, The Small Faces,
The Hollies, The Everly Brothers, Bob Dylan and more - and promises
'satisfaction' every time.
The Overtures present
a faithful and dynamic tribute to pop's greatest decade. With
their magnificent repertoire of over 400 songs they have rapidly
built their reputation as the finest 60s tribute band in the country.
You'll hear every aspect of sixties music from the early 'Merseybeat'
of The Beatles and The Searchers through to the 'surf' sound of
The Beach Boys - the rhythm and blues of The Rolling Stones to
the folk-rock of The Byrds and The Mamas and The Papas - the close
harmony of Simon and Garfunkel to the psychedelic power of Jimi
Hendrix. Whether you are a 'Hippie', 'Mod' or 'Rocker', as Sergeant
Pepper says ... "A splendid time is guaranteed for all!"
