See ‘The Searchers’ And The ‘Sixties Gold’ Tour

searchers_60s_bandA great group and some fantastic memories, for many people ‘The Searchers’ are the Sixties and their hits live on.

So, where can you see the Searchers in concert for the rest of the 2010 in the UK? Sixties at it’s best, they are one of the few British pop groups that everyone remembers. This year they have a full program of UK tours and the dates can be checked at the official Searchers website tour dates at the address below:

Note that, as from September until the end of November, they are with the impressive sounding ‘Sixties Gold’ ultimate line of 60s stars including, as well as The Searchers’, ‘Gerry and the Pacemakers’, ‘P J Proby’ and ‘Chip Hawkes’.

It’s also worth a visit to this web page so that you can watch and listen to the finale from The Searchers live DVD as it was when recorded in 2007. This is well worth checking out, a great medley of their hits, all of which, of course, I remember and enjoyed (including my favourite, the 1959 Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller written ‘Love Potion Number 9′).

If you see them don’t forget to tell us how you enjoyed it and if there are any photos leave a link.

Days Out – 1960s Weekend Llangollen Railway

llangollen_railway_60s_days_outMake a note in your diary, weekend of the 31st July & 1st August 2010 there is a 60s themed event at lovely Llangollen Railway in Clywd LL20 8SN.

This event promises to be a recreation of the fabulous 1960s with steam and diesel trains, period rolling stock, music, real ale and, most important, an exhibition of classic vehicles and other transport from the period. It is hoped, too, that there will be stands selling 60s memorabilia and clothes.

Both Llangollen town and the Llangollen Railway are always a great venue for a day out. Add to this a 60s theme and it should really be worth travelling to see.

In case you haven’t been before, the railway runs some 7½ miles along the banks of the River Dee from Llangollen to Carrog through some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK.

If you do go, be sure to take some photographs and leave a link to them below so that we can all enjoy the event.
