AND ANOTHER GREAT SHOW RUMOURS OF FLEETWOOD MAC Swansea Grand Theatre Friday 20th January 8.00pm Rumours of Fleetwood Mac, the world’s ultimate homage to Fleetwood Mac, returns to Swansea Grand Theatre on Friday 20th January at 8.00pm with their brand new Hits to Blues tour. Encompassing nearly five decade of legendary music and channelling the spirit of Fleetwood Mac at their very best, Hits to Blues offers a unique opportunity for fans, both old and new, to rediscover the songs and performances that have ensured Fleetwood Mac’s place as one of the most loved bands of all time. From the exultant heights of such classic hits as Rhiannon, Don’t Stop, You Make Loving Fun, and Seven Wonders, to the cathartic relationship autopsies contained on the bestselling Rumours album, Hits to Blues, like previous Rumours of Fleetwood Mac concert performances, guarantees to offer its audiences a rich and emotive musical experience, blowing away the cobwebs and rekindling those precious personal memories in a way that only the best music can. True to the band’s roots, Hits to Blues will also feature a comprehensive profile of the work of legendary British bluesman and Fleetwood Mac founder, Peter Green. With faithful renditions of early Mac masterpieces such as Albatross, Oh Well, and the plaintive Man of the World, the show promises to bring the full depth and power of Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac back to life. From the outset, the Rumours of Fleetwood Mac musicians and performers have always striven to combine their deep personal love and reverence for the music of Fleetwood Mac with the excitement and spontaneity of live performance. Immersed in this music as they are, they know that these are songs which simply refuse to be played without passion and intensity. Tickets for this evening of exceptional music are available from the Box Office on 01792 475715 or can be purchased online at www.swanseagrand.co.uk and are £24.00 & £34.00* * All tickets include a 50p Restoration Fund LET’S HANG ON Swansea Grand Theatre Saturday 21st January 7.30pm Join us on a musical journey through the prolific career of one of the most successful bands of all time Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons. Let’s Hang On is at Swansea Grand Theatre on Saturday 21st January at 7.30pm. This is the story of the blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks who wrote their own songs, invented their own sound and took the world by storm all before the age of 30. In the first half of the show, Let’s Hang On takes you back to the very beginning. You’ll hear tracks from the early 50s when Frankie first joined the group and then Bob Gaudio, still recognised today as one of the greatest song writers of all time. Also in this first section of the show the performers do something that is rarely attempted in any live performance, acapella singing; the stage is transformed into a street corner in New Jersey with four guys sitting on steps under a street lamp singing doo wop. The second half of the show is party time with all the favourite hits, including Dec 63, Beggin’, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Grease, Working My Way Back To You, Who Loves You, Bye Bye Baby and many more. There’s an electrifying finale when the retro red jackets come out and you hear the legendary falsetto blow the roof off with Rag Doll, Sherry, Walk Like a Man and Big Girls Don’t Cry. Tickets for this evening of musical excellence are available from the Box Office on 01792 475715 or can be purchased online at www.swanseagrand.co.uk and are £22.50* * All tickets include a 50p Restoration Fund contribution.
