A 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.
Make 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.
Here are a few events for the coming week and weekend. They are not necessarily all 60s related but they are events that I am sure most people interested in the 60s will enjoy.
There is another 60s theme weekend break coming up on the NYMR (North Yorkshire Moors Railway) in lovely heartbeat country.
