60'S Named Bands & Singers
The Swingin’ Sixties live on in the 21st century with a star-studded line-up that shared airtime with Elvis, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
The Animals are still blasting out the ‘House of the Rising Sun’, Manfred Mann is still being ‘Blinded by the Light’ and Gerry & The Pacemakers are still making sure that ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’.
Jimmy Ruffin is still wondering ‘What Becomes of the Broken Hearted’ while the longest running band in the history of pop – The Drifters – are still enjoying a ‘Saturday Night At The Movies’ and inviting audiences throughout the UK to join them!
Add in the likes of Herman’s Hermits, The Foundations, The Bachelors, Bobby Vee, Alan Price & The Electric Blues Band and the Tremeloes – to name but a few – and you have the choice of a great selection of the sound of the 60s.
