Radio Luxembourg with John Waters
Celebrate the songs of the British Pop Invasion with the iconic star of stage and screen John Waters!
The newest show from John Waters, featuring Stewart D’Arrietta and the Chartbusters, presents the smash hits of the 60s which remain in the cellular memory of fans over generations.
It will be impossible to keep still as you listen to the evocative strains of Peter Saarstedt’s Where Do You Go to My Lovely, the memory-dredging Waterloo Sunset by the Kinks, and To Love Somebody by the BeeGees, to the infectious grooves of Itchycoo Park by the Small Faces and the anthemic My Generation by The Who.
When commercial radio licences were not available in the 1960s UK, pop and rock music was broadcast from Luxembourg, a clever move by the British record industry to circumnavigate the laws of the day. With his six-piece band and brilliant voice, Waters recounts this loophole, anecdotes and moving memories of the era, taking the audience through the time continuum to songs that resound over decades.
The Beatles exploded onto the scene followed by so many more, and the British Invasion truly began, including The Moody Blues, the Kinks, The Who, and scores of others. Their legendary songs live on stage as Radio Luxembourg are a stirring and enjoyable experience.
