70'S Named Bands & Singers
Carnaby Street in London was the place to be and glam rock was all the rage, but the 70s also delivered a diversity of musical approaches that live on today.
Never is that more evident than in the sounds of Status Quo, standard bearers of the ‘headbanging’ rock genre for more than 30 years, and still a popular draw for audiences. Equally popular is the blonde bombshell from New York - one Debbie Harry and the boys from Blondie – who notched up multiple number 1s in the mid-to-late 1970s.
Chart-topping George McCrae will still ‘Rock Your Baby’ at any corporate or private function and ‘Everyone’s a Winner’ when the services of Hot Chocolate are enlisted. If it’s a throwback to the 50’s stopping off at the 70’s that you require then it’s quiffs and crepe soles all the way with Showaddywaddy, whereas if you want to relive a bit of punk and New Wave we can help fix you up with The Stranglers.
In the mainstream of pop we have dealings with Boney M, Brotherhood of Man, Alvin Stardust and The Real Thing, but if there is a particular artist you would like to entertain your guests just say the word and we’ll get to work.
