Sounds of the 60s with Tony Blackburn OBE

Tony Blackburn OBE is bringing Sounds of the 60s to the Concert Hall on Monday 19 October. If you've ever spent an afternoon with the radio on, you'll know the format he's built his name on: a steady stream of sixties songs, one after another, with his voice in between.

That's exactly what he's taking from the studio to the stage. Every week, Blackburn plays the greatest songs of the sixties to listeners across the UK on BBC Radio 2, and this show brings that radio experience into a live setting. It's not just a DJ set, though — he's backed by a full band and singers performing 60s classics, so the songs you'd usually hear on a record are played live on the night.

Blackburn fronts the whole thing, keeping the energy moving between the tracks just as he does on air. The focus stays on the music of the decade, with the band and singers handling the songs while he handles the presenting. It's a straightforward evening of sixties music, played live and hosted by one of the most recognisable voices in British broadcasting.

Tickets are £35.50 to £45.50, and the show is at the Concert Hall on Monday 19 October.
